Deus liked the knight's turn of phrase, but it was impossible to tell from her expression to what extent she had understood the words she heard.
"Were I the queen of Sithia rather than Tezoth, things would be quite different — do as you please and command fates with a snap of your fingers, but I don't hold the same power that long-eared witch has. It turns out the world is ruled only by force, and he who lacks it cannot be free — even if he nominally rules a continent." Deus chuckled at her own words. "How indecent it is to be discontent with the fate of one who stands above all others."
Listening to Ambrose's congratulation, Axel couldn't help but appreciate the talent, though inwardly he allowed himself a slight smirk. He approached his newly minted comrade-in-arms and whispered in his ear:
"Nice kiss-up, she liked it, I can't do that," Axel joked without any judgment or contempt.
Despite his grim nature, the knight allowed himself a bit of humor from time to time.
