Beata sighed and threw her hands up in the air. Apparently, her politeness and patience had limits, and it was only through sheer willpower that she refrained from reverting to her usual manner of speech.
“The Dragon King was the first one we turned to for help. He was the one who told us to seek blessings and consult with 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 Beznyaga with a much stronger expression. “He just gave us clues on how to defeat him and helped us get back home faster. He didn’t explain why he wouldn’t fight, but I think... he didn’t want to deprive players of the opportunity to be completely crushed by the boss.
Gideon, 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 join the fight,” she continued in a calmer tone. “It’s clear that he has already given us all the help we can expect, and we can’t expect anything more from him. We will have to defend our empire ourselves, and that’s why we went looking for help outside of it.”
