“I’ve been meaning to hold an official meeting. Not just Valhalla’s members, but everyone who helped in this war will get a fair share.”

“Eck— Aren’t you slicing the pie into too many pieces then? It’s not just Eva. There’s also Haramark…”

“No. If I don’t treat them the same way they treated me, it will be difficult for me to expect the same good treatment next time.”
