Chapter Three (B): Eric & Alice

[Akirapryde]

Major Tetsuhara listened carefully to what Erik said. Once Erik was finished he reached over and picked up a phone and dialed three numbers. He spoke shortly in Japanese. While Erik nor Alice could understand what was being said, they were able to pick up names. What was being said was clearly linked to what Erik said. After a short moment, he hung up the phone. “So let me ask you this. You would tell us this why, Steiner?” He said in German.

There was a measure of disbelief in his voice as well as truth, “You are a member of the royal court of the Lyran Alliance. You bare the signet ring of the royal family. You will forgive my untrusting questions. Your family has made life for those within my family rather harsh. I can’t imagine a reason why after recent events one of you would become so forthcoming. Especially after their open support of Victor over your current leader.”
