☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- But I wanted you to do it...

"But you are an independent person, and I am not your mother... Although, if I force you to choose numbers, that's not better than if I actually choose them myself."

-- Arivell... Well, number eight seems good to me, from a mathematical point of view, so let it be eight.

- The first thing that comes to mind, I find very interesting that the Empress is the twentieth monarch of Margel, especially in the context that the previous "anniversary" ruler was Welfern, who fundamentally changed our country. Perhaps the ascension to the throne of Her Majesty will also be fateful for the empire?

Erephir waved her finger.

-- The ascension to the throne of Her Majesty will definitely be fateful, and in this case, I'm not just saying it as Her sword, but, if you will, it's an objective fact, a future that is already determined, but has not yet come. As for the number, it's a beautiful observation, perhaps the Universe really gave us an additional sign in this way.

I think Thorvik is loved by almost all the inhabitants of the empire without exception, but I personally don't like him very much, mainly because he left his homeland, essentially destroying it. As far as I know, there are no native inhabitants of Granhyld left, and now only Zimivians live there, as evidenced by the island's modern name.

-- Mmm, -- the redhead thought a lot about the words about Thorvik. -- I've never looked at it that way, well, I've been a nomad for almost half my life... But I must admit, after your words, some sadness appeared in this story for me, although I still believe that the Founder did the right thing, because the interests of the people are above all else, and it is they that form the backbone of the country. Unless this ruler could really bequeath to his descendants the return to Granhyld in the future, when the children of the first Margelians become strong and prosperous enough to re-master their inhospitable homeland relatively safely.

"You probably have to be a Credearian to value your homeland as much as Anpan. It's also a romantic view."

The names of many other monarchs are very closely associated with one word - war, war, war. Therefore, I do not find them inspiring figures, and someone like Raidar is a purely negative character in my Credearian eyes.

-- I can understand that, and yes, some clearly liked to conduct aggressive negotiations, with or without reason.

At the same time, the "peaceful" monarchs proved to be very perverse in matters of culture and human life, such as Welfern and Shinalun.

-- Well, not all of them, right? What do you think about King Sillione, for example? It seems to be a perfect match for the image of a good ruler.

Doesn't Zamia look too small in relation to the size of the colossal Hartrain?

-- Is the difference in height a minus if virtue and love brought them together? And if you look at it from a poetic point of view, there was a time when the huge Hartrain lay motionless in bed, and then the small Zamia looked down at him, only then did their roles change... Isn't that an interesting twist of fate?

Why did Mersia continue to support the endeavors of her husband, even knowing that he was going down the wrong path?

-- Did she know? Although, you're probably right, Abeas's passion for expanding borders for unclear purposes was too obvious, but his failures cannot be explained by uncertainty alone; one could have guessed.

Where was Bertali when his wife went to other men, and why did he kill himself, parting with the most precious thing a person has - his own life?

-- Obviously, he did not have enough spiritual strength to be sober in any of these matters. I wouldn't ask "why," this person should just be pitied; he made one big mistake by getting married, and then his fall was almost predetermined.

Why does Kanade dress like... Like... Like an accessible woman...

-- Apparently, she was trying to match her husband's tastes.

Why didn't Lorencia refuse to marry Flanaravi if she didn't want to marry him, what's with all the drama?

-- You are not the first person to ask this question aloud, but I don't understand it. King Flanaravi was an absolute monarch who did not tolerate arguments; in my opinion, this fully explains the situation. Even if he was not a real threat to the well-being or freedom of the singer Lorencia in case of her refusal (and there are reasons to believe that he was), irrational fear, multiplied by some kind of social concept of duty to the king, could not be ruled out. Add to this the fact that for almost two hundred years before Flanaravi, King Sillione ruled, who was not only a slightly intimidating figure, but also a symbol of absolute justice, with his care for his subjects. I have no doubt that over such a long time, the people of Margel completely forgot that the ruler could be wrong or act not in the interests of his people, and Flanaravi's actions often caused shock and a feeling of helplessness in everyone. From the perspective of modern, rather free Welfernians, we can hardly understand the psychology of that time.

Why does Arrose have that vulgar tattoo on her stomach?

-- I'd rather think that she let someone tattoo it there.

"Ah, maybe the Emperor did it himself, it would be nice to believe, and it would support his image as a creator."

Therefore, I think that Ranos is the one I like the most. Surely it wasn't as sad as the historians write.

-- At least he's a good warrior, there's something to focus on.

Immunity to the ground.

Oh, that cunning Raidar, but he didn't give it to any of the dragon slayers...

With this picture on the wall, the character's life expectancy is extended.

If Fyr knew, she would kiss you, considering that Naria was afraid of her imminent death...
