[color=6ecff6][i]Metal shard? That doesn't sound so bad...?[/i][/color] Klaus was rather surprised with this underwhelming response from the mercenaries. [i][color=6ecff6]So this whole fort had died just for a mere piece of shard...?[/color][/i] That's until she had heard what Gillian and that paladin said. 

[color=6ecff6]"But I thought that's just a legend...?"[/color] Klaus gasped nervously after hearing the stories by the two Knights. The thing she finds disturbing is on how much this story fits into this current situation. [color=6ecff6][i]If just a mere shard could destroy an entire fort, what can the entire sword do...?[/i][/color] For something so dangerous to still exist in this world is hard for her to comprehend, even when she had heard from the Paladin about the gods war & stuffs. And the number of those shards that exists in this world, definitely dozens, or even hundreds. She now had hundreds of more questions resurfacing in her head, but considering the attitude of the spear girl, she doubt she would have the patience to hear them all.

"So, just one last question Miss,"[/color] Klaus approached Alette, putting on her brave front as she asked, [color=6ecff6]"Just how many of that shards is your employer trying to get? If my hunch is right, perhaps all of them?"[/color]

Two reasons why she made such a conclusion, first why would the Employer go all the trouble to collect just a single shard if he's rich enough to hire mercenaries like Alette. [color=6ecff6][i]I mean, if he wants to gain military power, he could simply hire more mercenaries instead of relying on a less convenient metal shard.[/i][/color] And second, she often assumes with the worst case scenario, but she's pretty sure that reforging that sword is within the realm of possibilities, no matter how unlikely are the odds of this happening.
