Then I suggest this plan as the final one. Let those two scout, I'll attack the main entrance, and you guys will be on the balcony. If something happens at the entrance, I'll sprint away, they'll cover me, and we'll lure the guys into the hall for your shooting. If something happens in the hall, you'll shoot. Meanwhile, one of you will keep an eye on what's happening in area A, just don't get too distracted by the Ipomea. If the king or his sister start causing trouble and attacking her, then Merette will have to jump in. The only remaining question is the positioning of the archer and Merette on this balcony. I placed her near the stairs so she can react if anything happens, and him further away so they can't reach him. Plus, from there, he can shoot at some part of area A. And Merette can probably shoot at some of the cells south of the entrance to the hall if the door is open. But maybe we can reposition them somehow?
Well, if you're serious about this option and about staying on the balcony, then okay, let's work on the first plan. But it's probably better to put the archer on the balcony as well – if someone appears in the hall, they'll take him out immediately.
- I want to be on the balcony, and that's it! - said Meretta, stamping her foot and folding her arms across her chest.
Let's go with the balcony, together with the archer.

I placed her near the stairs so that she could react if anything happens, and him further away so that he wouldn't be reached. Plus, from there, he will be able to shoot at some part of Area A. And Meretta will probably be able to shoot at some of the squares south of the entrance to the hall if the door is open. But maybe we can rearrange them somehow?
I'm afraid that an assassin might appear somewhere behind Ipomea, who will take her down, if not on the first try, then on the second. In case it's not on the first try, Meretta will have a chance to shoot him (if we put her in the archer's place).

/ I have dust from one large and one small fire spirit. One from the small one. I don't remember how much drops from the large one. / -- Excuse me, -- Tsukiko said aloud when she saw a familiar spirit in this snow. And she sadly watched him go. And then understanding dawned on her. "Okami didn't curse me," -- the Japanese girl was surprised. -- "This... This is the first True Sign in all these three years. Thank you! I need to somehow keep this inside me... By any means. If only I could somehow change Koji's decision..." -- was her new thought. "We shouldn't deceive those smugglers. This act will definitely affect us. But what can we come up with?" For a while, the girl was confused, and then she was filled with determination. "For now, we have a task. To explore this icy desert. But I believe that we will find a solution. I hope that the spirits of the ancestors and Taro will help me in this." Let's go further.
Okay. Then, let's move Meretta to the archer's position, and put him one cell higher. If needed, he can pass through his own unit. And let the lady ask Hippomea to get comfortable... For their own safety, lol.
While Vesna was working on Astel, One-Eyed clarified the details of the mission: how many people will be involved in the final stage, the approximate number of guards, an estimated time frame, how roughly they can treat the hostage, and finally, how much they will pay.
“The capture team will consist of five people,” explained Vesna, “and if nothing has changed, there should be four guards.” He also clarified the timing of the operation and that each participant would receive 50,000 Rumies. “The hostage must be treated as carefully as possible,” concluded the Count, “no matter how calm His Excellency Thiarius Reim may seem, I will never believe that one of the sons of the four ducal houses of the empire would forgive disrespectful treatment of his wife, whoever she is. Besides, Pantaleia comes from the C. Tessen family, and I wouldn’t want this operation to result in the formation of an alliance between Sonata and Darkiria.” Ple-Sen
— Don't get so upset," Alaria patted the detective friendly on the shoulder, "I can't say he made a bad impression. It's clear that he is an experienced person and knows what he is talking about. I just imagined the head of intelligence services to be less eccentric.
“Yes, that’s true,” agreed Altina, “he is one of the best investigators and marksmen in the empire, and according to rumors, he works directly under the Empress and the First Minister.”
Added after 25 minutes At the appointed time, the first people began to appear in the lobby of the building where they were supposed to meet. One of them was Vaas Artichoke. “Oh, Melissa Mayvin!” Noticing Nano, he immediately approached her. — How are you? What’s new? What brings you here?
Added after 3 minutes Once again, moving through the snowstorm, the group discovered a source of light somewhere in the distance.
"If I heard everything correctly, he mentioned the minister just before leaving. So, I suppose the rumors are true," saying this, the Tanarsian looked at her watch and sighed, "It was nice talking to you, but work won't do itself. And you probably have your hands full too. See you around." Going to check out weapons at "Raymford".
- Ah, hello, hello. We're with the guys, making sure everything's secure for the evening so no one causes trouble. You're on duty too, I presume? Or are you just working on self-improvement?
- Ah, hello, hello. We and the guys are patrolling tonight to make sure no one causes trouble. Are you also on duty? Or are you working on self-improvement?
— Such events don't happen often, and that's why I wouldn't miss this meeting for anything. It will be something to write about. Besides, many people are now interested in the king's personality – little is known about him in the empire, but apparently, his reforms and his country's abandonment of isolation also came at a cost.
After the transformation was complete and all the details of the assignment were discussed, One-Eye asked Astel to buy a rifle with the "Eirene," "Volcano," and "Diana" modifications at "Windemiatrix" and deliver it to him before the mission. He also asked him to purchase the remaining potions from Magnolia. Now, it remained to determine the composition of the assault team. One-Eye suggested his own candidacy and Iris Arden as the opening attackers, Halmeldir and Sena Izaya as the brute force. The last spot could be filled by Rudbeks, Autumn, or perhaps even Telas Forengard, if he wanted to participate in such a mission personally.

- Hmm, by the way, speaking of that, - Nano lowered her voice. - Do you know anything interesting about this king? Or about his sister? I heard that they have a... "close" relationship...
