However, Alex then said to Logan, "Hold on a second there. We do not wish to make a trip to the South County just to deal with Severin for you, so why don't you figure of a way to get him to come to Oolong City? It shouldn't be that big of a problem for you, I believe."
Logan nodded. "That can be done. I'll head back and figure out a plan. I'll notify you once he arrives and we can make further arrangements after that." He then excused himself and left.
Alex moved a chess piece after Logan left and said calmly, "Severin, was it? He's unlucky, I'll give him that. Of all the commanders he could have offended, he just had to pick Leslie. And as luck would have it, Leslie's son is exactly Princess Nana's type."
"How did it go, Father? Did they say yes?" Nana had been waiting a long time at the gates for Logan to return. Once he returned, she immediately came up to him and asked eagerly.
Logan nodded and then let out a heavy sigh. "They did, but they made it clear that this is the first and the last time that they'll do this favor for you. They were not too happy when they were asked to handle something so ridiculous."
Nana could not help but feel overjoyed when she heard that. "That's great, Father! I knew you'd be able to persuade them! I promise there won't be a second time."
