Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

A number of trees from Einnashe changed into an autumun like appearance, oversized and entangled within themselves to create the shape of a oriental building. The floor of the court front is covered in a large pool of blood. The party had been invited here with no actual trouble to get to the abnormal building. By the entry, a pink haired figure awaits them. One hand hidden in a long cyan sleeve. The other playing with her own hair.

As Mordred enters the tree, she would see this figure ahead. Immediately assuming that she is the cause of her strange case of not being able to communicate properly.

Taigong enters, just as when one was summoned to the imperial court. He understood the moment that his feet touched that accursed ground, that anything could happen. And that anything might have been lethal. "It has been very long, has it not? I take that your head is still in its place." He said, no contempt or anger in his face. And yet, turned by the utter baffling conditions of their meeting.

"My, my~!" The woman chuckles happily. "What a rude greeting to your host! And I thought your wife would have educated you properly, my dear brother-in-law." She would turn to the other three and greet each of them with a respectful bow. Everything about her could be considered 'pleasant' or 'attractive'. There was some kind of sadistic air to her words, but even then the freely tone of form, cute small face and the over all well chosen clothing simply made her appearance and presence something that 'pleases' others. After all her purpose was to be something the world should fall in love with. "I would love to welcome you in, but at the moment we are still finishing the constructions~! Ah, yes. Thank you for bringing my future husband to me." She would politely speak to the group. "I can't offer anything to eat but I am sure I can tell one of my servants to bring you some tea."

"My apologies for my rudeness, perhaps that is a side effect of this container." It seems somewhat sincere, at least he won't stand being called 'rude' by her again. "While I appreciate the sentiment, I am fine. How about you? I was not aware you had found yourself a new suitor, specially in this of all places." @Berry|Rav|Jes|Ushi|Yuyu

She gives him a devious smirk. "Hehe... It turns out that this little idiot wouldn't accept to work with me before I managed to convince him that marrying me would make daddy proud." She gives a wink as if it was something she was used to. "We do what we need, am I right? Well... Talking about that... I have something to ask of you."

Mordred remains silent. Letting the two continue their exchange in the conversation. She doesn't exactly know their history.

"I have been having... Some... Health problems. Which is why I am currently limited to... This small size." She weirdly enough waves to the environments itself, as if to say she was the entirety of the city. "Luckily... Our interests align. One of my... Fellows. Told me you were looking for a method on killing him. And... It... Just happens that I have a couple of reasons to get rid of him myself." She explained passive-agressively to the group. "But I need that cure to do so. So here is my proposal: you ran a certain errand for me and in exchange I give you valuable information that can be so, soooo useful for your little pray-tell-pretend mission." The fox inclines her head charismaticaly to the side, winking again as if to get the idea across. "What do you think? What do you think~♡?"

Mordred would look towards Taigong to see how he'll respond.

"Let me reflect on the issue... So, you need a cure for your current affliction, correct?" "Ah, yes, I do remember when I had heard of when you had a similar affliction, of how you were sick and weak. That no matter what your beloved king, it could only be healed through a very specific cure." He looked straigth at her, as if to recollect her memories on the matter. "I might be remembering wrong, Servant containers may confuse fantasy and reality, you know. But I do think that I remember that the cure was the heart of a righteous man. Which of course, you had, after that man had to torn out of his chest with his very own hands." "So, with that in mind, would you be asking for Ruler's heart? Or perhaps mine will suffice?" For the first time, he says with a tone of sarcasm.

She would cover her mouth, her ears leaning up as if she was faking a shock that wasn't there. "My~! No no! That was just me mistaking a bit of hunger with a disease, silly me~!" The fox laughs it off before taking a more serious stance. "No. This time around I need something else. If I was in a different container, I would brew it myself but in my current Class I lack the concentration necessary to do that." She would pull a bang of hair over her right eye behknd her ear, the tails behind her wagging in discomfort. "But it happens that recently a competent brewring master has moved along the borders of Poland at east from here. A Servant summoned by the Magi that are residing in the North... I heard she threw her Master to the forest and ran away, though! Crazy, right~? She seems to be very grumpy so I am keeping myself away from her in my current state if that is fine~!"

"So what do you want us to do with this servant and master?" Mordred asks.

(Sorry for the weaker responses. I'm having class atm.)

"I mean... I have no interest in a dead Master, he probably is just a random Apostle at this point. My interest in the Servant." The fox shrugs. "The best part is: the information I have to share is specifically related to something about this Servant... When I was put here in guard duty with Mr.Make Daddy Great Again, Mr.Gloomy Boney Gentleman mentioned that he had passed to visit this Servant in Belarus to ask her to hide some stuff he took from a poor girl as a favor. It seems both of them are... Very close."

No worries!

"In other words, you seek this Rogue Servant that has been in contact with Koschei, correct? And in Belarus. What a stroke of luck, it seems. Perhaps are the Heavens blessing both of us once more?"

"Perhaps~!" She answers with a provoking smirk. "See this as a equal exchange... If you find a cure - an immunization - to my current predicament... If you... Get his voice out of my head... I will use the Goddess' Authority and as her Heavenly Pillar I will connect this land to the Heavens, that will allow me to grow a bit furyher within the forest and take over this Ley Line completely... Once that is done, you should be able to deal with that Demon King. And... You can recover the thigs Gloomy stole from whoever he abducted this time, plus I do as I implied and let your friends free. Absolute win, isn't it?"

Taigong didn't need to think about the issue for too long, rather, the moment she stopped talking, he had already made a decision. Rather, he wanted to determine what would be his teammates' reaction to that decision. "So, what do you think?" Said to Mordred and Amakusa.

@ArbyOrNotToBe @sumanai For when you got the chance

"Even if we say no, it doesn't seem like we'll be free easily."
