☀️ Arselia and Akonia

—Let's start with your explanations.

—As you wish, sir. —Klin's expression remained unchanged.
In his travels, he had often encountered adventurers of various kinds, and he understood that the formal style of communication he adopted in the palace was preferable to more vulgar language, yet he did not wish to offend the princess by resorting to familiar speech with the guest she had summoned within the walls of her residence.
—As I mentioned earlier, you are currently in the home of Her Highness. You were summoned here by her through a special magical ritual, the details of which I am not authorized to disclose. If Her Highness wishes, she will recount the finer details of this magical technique to you. I hope that in the place you come from, there are similar concepts of instantaneous teleportation and magical summoning, at least at the level of fairy tales or fiction. There must be. If such a thing is completely unfamiliar to you, please interrupt me, and I will explain in more detail.
Klin nodded affirmatively to the guest, and then continued:
—I have explained "how" you were summoned here, but not "where" exactly. The name of our Welferian Empire and its rulers is unlikely to be familiar to you for one very simple reason. Our country lies not just beyond your borders, not just beyond the borders of your continent, not just beyond the horizon of your sea. It is located beyond your world altogether. You are now in a completely different reality, however absurd it may sound. You are unlikely to believe me, and it will take you time to accept this, but, alas, that is the truth. Here, your states and rulers, your laws and deities do not exist. In due time, when you are allowed to explore the world, you will be able to convince yourself of the truth of my words.
The servant paused briefly, not sure if the guest was still following his explanations.
—As for the last of the possible questions, "why," I cannot give a satisfactory answer. Perhaps Her Highness will be able to enlighten you on this, if she wishes to meet with you. In the meantime, I am ready to answer any other questions you may have, as well as offer you the cuisine of the imperial table, if you are feeling thirsty or hungry.
