So he is trying to escape a sinking ship...by going to another sinking ship that would sink even faster than his current one? The kingdom seem to be on the verge of destruction, if he defect there, he isn't likely to be let to be just a civilian and even if he manage to be a civilian, once the Kingdom likely fall, the Empire will search for him.
You know, why hasn't Lucy try to finish him off anyway? He is definitely both the most visible and largest threat to them right now, with all he has accomplished and might do in the future. Even if it may have lead to her death, just MC's death would make a large difference.
Oh great, a 100% fanatic. And she would be working alongside the so called 'wretched rat' in disguise and will Lucy not snap and try to murder them at this point...
If we don't know what he is thinking, it would indeed look like he is a scarily observant genius.
He's crazy if he thought mentioning that they have investigated detailed information of his family like that would build rapport.
No combat experience, but most people already know you for your intelligence by now MC. The one who avoided ab ambush, catch a spy that possess Empire's critical infos, and discovered an oil spot that would be a big boon for the war efforts. You are basically like a hero in their mind.
Just give up MC, with your knowledge of the game characters and their personality as well as abilities, it might be better to go all out and plan to make the Empire win at this point.
Sorry MC, being proud for eating carrot would strengthen that childish image.
What, you could say that an accurate location and approximate number to be a coincidence? That's amazing. If this isn't a novel I certainly couldn't just write it off as a coincidence.
