Alaria listened attentively to the speech of her fellow countrywoman and, as fate would have it, the new princess. The Tanaresian had already heard about her, and not just once. But hearing Ayano herself... that was a first. Of course, the inquisitor didn't expect any excessive sincerity from this official introductory speech. In such situations, any public figure would put on a show and wear a mask of reliability, but that wasn't a reason to dismiss the Nihonese woman's words.

- My name is Ayano, - she finally said, barely managing to restrain herself from saying "etto/ano". - Some of you may already know me as the head of Kamimori - a sanctuary in the suburban part of the capital. It was built solely thanks to the generosity of Her Majesty, as well as the help of local kind people, for which I am deeply grateful. I am also equally grateful to all the kind and friendly people, friends and colleagues, whom I had the opportunity to meet here. They allowed me to feel a sense of belonging and warmth, and this emotion is completely mutual. Therefore, seeing our capital and Kridear in such a state breaks my heart. I can promise that if the bitterness of loss overwhelms your soul, the doors of Kamimori will always be open to you. Perhaps together we can find the strength to ease the pain and move on. Any possible voluntary donations, down to the last rem, both already collected and future ones, will be directed to the fund for the restoration of Kridear and the capital... - she added after a moment's hesitation. - Each of you is a representative of a strong people. It will be difficult, but we are capable of surviving it. The main thing is to try not to give in to despair and not forget about those who remain with you: whether it's a friend, a neighbor, a relative, a colleague - it doesn't matter; we all need friendly support now more than ever.
Taking a breath, she decides to wrap it up:
- And yet, today, according to Her Majesty, is not a time for mourning, but a dawn after a dark rainy night. So, let's try to show strength and look at the new day with new hope. ...Thank you. And our sincere congratulations to Her Majesty, - she concluded these words with the most exemplary and respectful bow possible, hoping that she hadn't made a complete fool of herself during this speech.
The attempt to advertise her own sanctuary slightly confused the eternally suspicious inquisitor, although it probably stemmed from a sincere desire to help. However, the words about donations were met with loud applause from her. Even with any desire to find a hidden meaning here, it is difficult to deny that this act of charity will ease the burden of many suffering Margel and Kridear residents. Otherwise, there was nothing to criticize - she had expected something similar in this situation. The people should like it.
