☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Yeah, as they say, coincidences are never truly coincidental. The fact that someone like her, a former inquisitor, was summoned to another world to hunt down evil creatures... one might call it a lucky coincidence, if it weren't for her other colleague, a fellow traveler from another world, wielding a demonic sword. However, the task itself sounded like something that would be assigned to one of the legates in her homeland. Alaria had never undertaken a mission of this magnitude. Even if she had, the task would have seemed extremely dangerous. Although her knowledge of local beliefs was quite limited, even what she knew was enough to understand that the apostles were either something like "demigods" or possessed enough power to act like them. At the very least, they could be compared to the "bearers of fate shards" from her own world, but they shouldn't be underestimated either. There is no such thing as a "weak bearer of a fate shard." In any case, she agreed to this job, wanting to repay her debt. A new life in exchange for completing a deadly task? It sounded quite fair, especially considering the promised fame and fortune in case of success. Of course, another difficulty of the mission was identifying the apostles. Perhaps this part of the task was even more challenging than the upcoming battles with them. It is possible that before facing the "demigods" in battle, they would have to risk their lives at someone else's behest. For example, to obtain the necessary information. The king's help would certainly be useful, but it was not worth counting on it in advance. If the princess had reasons to doubt his willingness to cooperate, it was clearly not without reason. In general, her work in Tanaris also sometimes required her to gather information... but in this case, the Tanaris methods would hardly be appropriate. And Alaria herself did not want to resort to anything like that. She hoped to leave that behind. Alaria listened to the explanations of Naria, and then Aaria, in complete silence. No questions were asked of her. She was not allowed to ask questions. And in general, she was not asked to speak, whether it was necessary or not. And Klin was appointed as the leader of the group, who was clearly more experienced in this matter than her. He had clearly been working for the benefit of Her Highness for many years. If anyone of the three had to speak first, it was him.
