The suzerain's response was brief but clear, and Alaria could not help but agree with the pragmatism of this policy. Conquering new lands carried considerable risks both for the internal stability of the Picture and its external image. If the neighbors saw her as an ambitious conqueror — and deemed her a threat — their attitude would change accordingly. And this is not even touching on the issue of human casualties, which it would also be desirable to avoid.
— My second question concerns the achievement of sovereignty. In your opinion, which rulers of Tezoth's regions might have aspirations for their own independence close to ours? In the context of the set goals, it would be good to secure their support, should such an opportunity arise.
— Before answering this question, it is necessary to determine the level of importance and potential of each of the factions — in many cases, a weak ally can be worse than an enemy. Based on this, Alaria, I have a new task for you: your analysis of Tezoth's worldviews and professions left a strong impression on me; similar work regarding the important figures and combat capability of each region would now be extremely useful. Can you handle it?
There was truth in her suzerain's words, but for some strange reason, Alaria had the feeling that Lord Cartridge had planned to assign her such a task from the very beginning, and their conversation, by force of circumstances, had naturally steered in this direction. However, Catharsis was by no means afraid of the suddenly piling up work. Especially work that would help pave the way for Cortina's bright future. Apparently, in the near future, she would have to occupy her mind not only with tactical wisdom and the subtleties of interregional diplomacy.
