Became a Strategist with a 100 Intelligence and 100% Accuracy

"……Um."

As I was staring at the letter, Reika hesitantly asked me a question.

"Yes?"

"Why would my father ask such a question……? I mean, what I’m trying to say is, well… Since you’re here, Swen, isn’t it only natural that you serve Lady Serpina? I don’t really see why he would need to ask that."

"Ah."

Right.

If you were just looking at the wording alone, it was a perfectly reasonable question to ask.

I was currently at Hisphil Castle, and Jinor, as the strategist of Aishus' army, would already have a rough understanding of what had happened here. Given his position, he would have been fully informed.

If his daughter was able to send letters freely, that meant the situation wasn’t too dire, and that alone would have been enough for him to deduce that I had joined Serpina’s ranks.

But someone capable of making that deduction wouldn’t have asked such a question just for the sake of confirmation.

This meant—he was really asking whether I ultimately intended to serve Serpina.

"It’s a simple matter. He’s just asking whether I intend to continue serving Lady Serpina in the future."

"Is that so……?"

Reika tilted her head slightly, still seeming unconvinced, but she didn’t press any further.

I was worried it might take some time to explain, but thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

Jinor was one of the people who had come the closest to understanding the true nature of my abilities.

His assumption that I could use magic to see the future was incorrect, but he had accurately pinpointed the phenomenon of me knowing the result but not understanding how it was reached.

And since I had volunteered to come here myself, he must have concluded that I believed joining Serpina’s army was the most efficient future.

In other words, his question meant: Is Serpina the correct answer?

Well… Considering my current affiliation, it wasn’t as if I could openly debate the matter.@@novelbin@@

But based on everything I had experienced so far, the real answer was something else.
