☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Rinakat's face showed no sympathy, concern, or dislike, only focus.
- As far as I know, one of your emperors, Raidarck, conquered the Dragon King precisely to protect the empire from such threats... including Lady Zephyr, although the idea of her attacking another country is absurd. Besides, he would have fallen to her sword anyway. - For a brief moment, proud undertones crept into the man's voice. - Why is he inactive?

Beata sighed and threw her hands up. Apparently, her politeness and patience had limits, and only with great effort did she refrain from reverting to her usual manner of speaking.
- The Dragon King was the first one we turned to for help. He was the one who told us to seek blessings and turn to our patriarch, but at the same time, he made it clear that he would not fight this... disturber of the peace... - she clearly wanted to describe Bezradiga with a much stronger expression, - he simply gave us clues on how to defeat him and hastened us back home. He didn't explain why he wouldn't fight, but I think... he didn't want to deprive the players of the opportunity to be wiped out by the boss.
Giyon, sensing that Beata was getting worked up, put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently. She bit her lip and exhaled.
- We can only guess why he decided not to engage in battle, - she continued in a more even tone. - It is only clear that he has already provided us with all the help we can expect, and we cannot expect anything more from him. We will have to defend our empire ourselves, and that is why we went to seek help beyond its borders.
