F/VoH Ch 141: Snack

"Are we really going to stage a rebellion and revolution?" Rosseline murmured softly, more to herself than asking anyone else.

Ryan turned to her, his gaze sharp yet not intimidating. "You're a journalist, Rosseline. You should understand the value of this significant information. If you cover this event, you'll become a journalist known worldwide. Isn't that what you want?"

Rosseline, who had previously seemed hesitant and intimidated by the situation, suddenly came to a realization. A thin smile appeared on her face. Although Rosseline knew she was essentially "forced" to join this group, she also understood that significant information like this was a rare opportunity—a story that could shake the world and elevate her name as the most influential journalist.

"You're right," Rosseline said, her tone gradually becoming enthusiastic. "This is truly amazing news material!" Rosseline's smile was now bright, her eyes shining with newfound excitement.

Charlotte, who was standing near Rosseline, appeared a bit more relaxed now that the atmosphere had stabilized. However, a serious expression returned to Charlotte's face as she turned her gaze to Ryan.

"By the way, Master, what exactly will we do once this revolution succeeds?" Charlotte asked, her tone filled with curiosity.

Ryan crossed his arms over his chest, standing tall in the middle of the white room. "We will transform this Kingdom into a democracy," Ryan replied calmly, as if he had carefully considered every step.

Charlotte furrowed her brow, another question quickly arising in her mind. "But... is that even possible? Will the nobles just hand over their power?"

Ryan smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated that question. "They only have three choices," Ryan said, raising three fingers. "Die, live as commoners, or retain power as mayors with much smaller territories. However, the leaders of the country will be elected by the people."

Ryan's explanation was cold yet firm. The atmosphere in the white room became more serious, as if every word Ryan spoke carried undeniable weight.

"Is that so... Then, I will support you, Master," Charlotte said, a thin smile gracing her face. Although Charlotte's words sounded simple, the look in her eyes showed deep determination.

Ellina, who was always loyal, nodded gracefully. "I will help you too, Young Master." Ellina's tone was soft but full of conviction.

Rosseline, who seemed more enthusiastic now, jumped a little in place. "Me too! Me too!" Rosseline said cheerfully, like a child who had just received a new toy.

Ryan nodded slowly, looking at the three women one by one. "Alright, we will do this together," Ryan said. His voice remained calm, but the aura of leadership he exuded made his words feel full of promises that would not be broken.

Suddenly, a thin smile appeared on Ryan's face. With a slightly more relaxed tone, Ryan said, "Oh right, this is a snack I bought earlier. Try it." With that, the white dimension began to fade, bringing them back into the inn room.

Rosseline, now back in her place, immediately jumped closer. "Really? What is it?" Rosseline asked eagerly, her eyes sparkling like a child's.

Charlotte smiled widely, also moving closer. "I want some too, if I may."

"Yes, I want to try it as well," Ellina added, remaining calm but clearly showing her interest.

Ryan paused for a moment, observing their enthusiasm. He let out a small sigh, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly into a smile. Without saying anything, Ryan handed the snack to them, enjoying the brief moment of peace amidst their grand plans.
