☀️ Arselia and Akonia

In short, IF EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY AS WE DISCUSSED, NO TRICKS OR CATCHES, AND THIS WILL ALLOW ALARIA TO RETURN TO MARGEL ALIVE, SAFE, AND WITHOUT DEBUFFS, THEN FINE, I'LL SELL GRANHILDR. Otherwise, I will act differently, and I will have to die in a duel...

Someone might say that giving up a sword voluntarily is like giving up a warrior's soul. Perhaps, in another situation, Alaria would even agree with this statement. But now, she was bound by duty. She had to return to Margel as soon as possible and deliver the news to Her Majesty. Working at the "Sphinx"? Two months of downtime, during which you could be robbed and killed. Selling her body? Even if we ignore the humiliation, that's two weeks of downtime. You could catch some disease from the "clients" and ruin your health for the rest of your life. You could accidentally become a mother. How much good would Naria get from such a servant? And even if she doesn't catch the eye of some rich man, to whom a lonely foreigner will be handed over completely. Hyenas? Certain death. Killing bandits? Certain death. A duel? There were chances, but in case of failure, the news would not reach Her Majesty. Was her attachment to her sword worth such a risk?
Thus, selling Gran힐dr was the most reliable, albeit not ideal, option. It didn't require time, and the likelihood of returning home looked the highest. It was bitter and offensive to lose a weapon that had served you well, but health, life, and duty were more important. The experience with Melesar made this clearer than ever. And what about possessions? Possessions come and go. Despite her love for material values, Alaria understood this well. And Naria never skimped on funding her servants, if you believe Klin's sleepy mumblings about "Soul Eater." One hundred thousand. A gift for one hundred thousand." and Alaria's own experience. All that remained was to hope that she wouldn't skimp now either, even if the new weapon wouldn't compare to its predecessor. And that she would appreciate the loyalty shown.
