"— And indeed, I think we would have found common ground with her. When you lose everything at such a young age, risking a life of torment, but a stroke of luck pulls you from the depths of despair — it inevitably changes your outlook on things. It makes you truly appreciate what seem like ordinary blessings and cling with all your might to the second chance you've been given," she nods, "a lesson well learned. As long as there remains even a shred of strength in your body and your mind is clear, you should not abandon hope and must fight to the end, no matter what the universe throws in your face. One could argue that this is the true human spirit — the ability to live against fate, despite adversity."

"— I think so too. We'll chew it over and see, as they say." Said the islander, grabbing a plate from the nearest table and cutting himself a huge slice of cake. "You can't find this kind of stuff back home, so I figure I'll fill my belly while I have the chance. And I recommend you don't hold back either."

— Space in the stomach, alas, is limited, so one must be selective," Alaria's gaze appraisingly assessed the assortment of desserts, and not only those, on the tables nearest them, "and I also try to watch my diet to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Though today, perhaps, an exception can be made. But for me, this day rich in delicacies is also a good opportunity to take a closer look at more unusual cuisine. Especially when the dishes are provided by master chefs from all corners of Tezoth. Because I myself, in a way, am a cook, even if it doesn't show. So the right choice of meal has every chance of becoming a new gastronomic revelation for me. However, I won't deny that cakes hold a special place in my heart — a rare type of dish that lends itself to visual presentation to the same degree. When you know who this treat is intended for, it allows you to express yourself better, so that the fruit of your labor nourishes not only a person's body but also their soul..."

Deus's announcement came as a surprise to Catharsis, but a very pleasant one. The opportunity to fight shoulder to shoulder with noble neighbors, and not against the monsters of the Crater of Regret, but against monsters in the service of Deus? To clash once more with the brave knights of Canamia, and perhaps even take revenge on them for the tournament, would be a pleasure. The benefit to the queen from such a spectacle was also clear: not only an exciting battle, but also a situation where she would win regardless of the outcome. Would her warriors win? It proves the strength and influence of the capital. Would the northerners win? It shows that the best of the best stand guard over the peace of Tezoth.

— ... well, it seems the meal will have to be postponed for later. However, given the situation, it only brings me joy.
