That was putting it lightly.
Beneath the worn visage of a weary warrior stewed pent-up 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐲, only kept in check by shame.

"If you do not mind, could I ask where it is you're from?"
Now she would finally take a seat next to them. A 'kind' smile found it's way onto her face.

I slew the mightiest Warlord of Valkenheim, even if such an action is my greatest shame. You are nothing in comparison.
You couldn't hurt a blade of grass, much less me.
If you want to test the efficacy of our armaments, I would be more than happy to oblige you. Although, I don’t know if you would survive the embarrassment.

And you may claim that your weapons never need maintenance, but I would bet gold that they're simply being replaced in order to avoid the maintenance.
As for the blacksmith . .
Please, you can’t lie here. Ilma’s weapons have struck low many of your greatest warriors. So shoddy that many hardly even need to be maintained, am I right?

And what use is killing a blacksmith who makes the weapons your troupe uses? Craftsmanship so shoddy deserves to arm your meager selves.
As for the topic of defeat, you could not even kill a single blacksmith.
What a victory, am I right?
Lastly, at least I don’t need to present myself like a jester. All that dancing and laughter almost makes me think it’s compensation.
