Indom - Kurenai laughs at that, but a tear forms and slips down the side of her face, betraying her pain.

'I don't miss my father or brothers either. But my sister, Bella... She never hurt a soul. So why did you kill her too? That is a question I'd like you to answer. And the nurse, Vita. You killed her because she was sheltering a young baby, whom you also killed. I believe you tossed him out the window. I heard there was a bet to see if he would bounce, actually. And how about the doctor, Marcellus? He spoke openly against the emperor. And you still cut his heart out and tossed it to the wild dogs.' "And your father didn't do the same? Why should I show mercy, to the kin of a man who showed none? Answer that! I did it for my brothers, and my parents! For my little sister! For my friend, who is now a traitor, in service of the Apparins! For the true emperor, and his kin! Shall I tell you about them?" 'I wanted him dead as much as the next girl. But that doesn't answer my question. As far as I'm concerned, you live for mindless murder. You indulge in it, you revel in it. All your self-justification won't bring my sister back. You wanted death for everyone and so you gave it, regardless of whether they had wronged anyone or not. And that is why I will not rest until I destroy everything you hold dear.'

And with that, Kurenai sweeps out of the tent, Lux following close behind. Azalea shakes her head sadly.

'I guess this concludes negotiations before they even begin...' she murmurs, and nods to Valerius before walking out. Aria hesitates for a moment by Valerius on her way out, as if wanting to ask something, then shakes her head as if to clear it of something and leaves.

The defenders take up field positions in the nearby unwalled town of Kievrÿl, a Canaris Novan town (famous for her steepled churches) on a slight hill surrounded by unbroken grassy plains for several hundred kilometers in every direction. The plains are mostly flat, and a shallow but treacherous river (the bottom is quicksand and soft clay) runs through it to form a natural U-shaped barrier around the town's borders.
