"Sounds like Esthar might be pulling out of this war," she said.
"Good news for us."
"Shut up. Did I give you the permission to talk!"
"...sorry."
"Hmph. I knew since the beginning that Dollet would lose to us but I never expected Esthar to join them. If there's a possibility that they might pull out..." Juliette paused for a second and then asked: "Who are they going to send to the negotiations?"
"There's going to be Laguna Loire from Esthar..."
"The man who captured Adel and sent her to space."
"Correct. Then there will be Cid Kramer from B-Garden."
"Never heard of him."
"Vincent Gunzler from Dollet..."
"Vincent Gunzler!" Juliette was genuinely surprised. "This sounds very interesting. Prepare a ship for me. Oh, and if this is a trap, I want you to launch the missiles. I'll give you the coordinates later."
Laguna and Gunzler were already heading towards Centra in Ragnarok.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Laguna said.
"Me too. But if something happens, Squall will lead an attack against them. How many men do we have on board?"
"Some Esthar soldiers and Squall's friends, Quistis and Zell. And his girlfriend Rinoa can fight as well, I think. Oh, and Kiros and Ward, who are already waiting for us."
"See? There's nothing to worry about. Unless Juliette has something on her mind."
"Yeah..."
The luxurious ship of the White SeeD was already there when they arrived. The young SeeDs were working hard, cleaning the deck and preparing the conference room. The flags of the four countries were waving in the wind as Gunzler and Laguna came on board. An orchestra started playing when they walked along the red carpet, followed by Squall and the others.
"Welcome on board!"
Headmaster Cid looked like any ordinary man when standing next to Edea. She looked very impressing in her black dress when Cid looked more like an accountant in his old red vest. However, he didn't care.
They moved to the conference room.
"What happens tomorrow will probably go down in history," Edea said seriously.
"That is true," Gunzler agreed. "I wish that the mystery of Juliette will be revealed tomorrow. However, I doubt that we are able to end the war."
"Right." Laguna seemed restless. "But we'll see that tomorrow..."
