☀️ Arselia and Akonia

I remember that it was after the advice of this mage that the king decided to give their group a chance and listened to his words. In a way, the group owed their comfortable stay in the palace to him just as much as they owed it to the owner of this place or Kenichiro with his idea of a gift. Of course, the suspicious portal could still be a trap... but Marduk already had all the opportunities to get rid of the trio while Klin and Kenichiro were in a vegetative state. Getting rid of them under such circumstances would be too easy. Therefore, Alaria was more inclined to trust the sorcerer and test her luck. If he was truly well-intentioned, he could certainly tell them many interesting things and bring the squad closer to completing the mission assigned to them. The key word here was "if," so it still wasn't worth relaxing too early.
