However, there was little point in guessing, so Alaria simply waited for one of the strangers to start a conversation.
—Good day to you, miss. I see you have recovered quite well after this "journey." You may still feel a slight haze in your head, but don't worry, it will pass quickly. My name is Klin, and I serve Her Imperial Highness, Princess Welferna, Naria Es Diesra Arual. —the knight made the same bow as he had to the other guests before, giving his companion and the newcomer a chance to introduce themselves.
—Her Highness has instructed me to explain the situation to you and answer any questions you may have, so I ask that you try to listen to me to the end, no matter how absurd what you are about to hear may seem.
Klin paused briefly, giving the guest time to prepare for the upcoming story, and then continued:
—The fact is, miss, that you have been summoned here, to this residence, by a special magical ritual, which was conducted under the supervision and with the direct participation of Her Highness. Judging by the other guests, magic is a common element that unites all civilizations, like water or air, and therefore I dare to assume that you too have a general understanding of what is meant by a summoning spell. I wouldn't even venture to guess what sensations you experienced when moving from one point to another, but I doubt I would be wrong if I said that it was not the most ordinary experience of your life. However, that is not all. The main difference in your situation is that you, miss, have been summoned not just to another city or another country. You have been summoned to another world altogether.
The mountaineer fell silent again, waiting for the guest's reaction, similar to those he had already observed.
—...That's right, the empire you are in now lies beyond the boundaries of your reality, just like many other worlds. My esteemed colleague next to me—also a recent guest in our world—can confirm my words. And he is not the only such "outsider." However, you are unlikely to believe all this on my word alone, but I assure you, it is enough to go outside and look around to be convinced of the truth of this fantastic picture. Therefore, I will be brief, because reality affects the mind much better than any words. I believe that, if she wishes, Her Highness will want to meet you herself. In the meantime, I am ready to answer any questions you may have, to the best of my modest knowledge, of course. Her Highness's residence and her staff are at your service, as a guest of the princess. —Klin bowed politely to the newcomer once more.
