- I'm disappointed. With such a staunch supporter in the face of a real crisis, we can't count on Margel and Welfern for anything good. Is the conflict resolved simply because the abomination that invaded us thousands of years ago promised not to do anything like that again? How wonderful and charming! Why should the unwillingness of a member of one sect to assist members of another sect excuse him? Isn't that illogical? And is it logical to keep the Empress's follower of Rishi close at hand? What prevents her from snapping her fingers right now and... for example, blowing up her follower so that all of Karneol, and perhaps even the entire capital, is buried underground? Do you think that's impossible? Then you're also naive, and everything you say is just opinions, and people are prone to making mistakes. A knife held to your throat doesn't become any safer because of the words of a princess or any other authority figure.
-- And now, tell me, why did you consider him a threat and a knife at your throat, rather than the countless other followers of various sects? Is he really the only one in Margel? I doubt it. As for the possibility and impossibility, you're saying this to someone who seriously believes that Monogat could remotely plan to blow up the city with a spell, since there are no protective barriers right now... A portal plus a powerful stream of miasma or any other energy from the most powerful lich – nothing will remain of the city, and objectively, we cannot prevent this. That's the problem. People are vulnerable and live in a complex, multidimensional world with an unpredictable nature and many other actors, some of whom are super-entities. Did you expect to fight a saint yesterday? Hardly. And this is literally your scenario, when all of Karneol almost perished, without any fantasies or embellishments. And tell me, did I not try hard enough in that battle, that you lost faith in me? A real crisis was right in front of your eyes, and although I didn't single-handedly defeat the singularity, it seems I didn't deserve your skepticism.
-- If this still doesn't convince you, I'll say this: I know for sure that the time is not far off when we can almost not be afraid of a celestial threat, -- she said more quietly. -- And this breach in the defense will be eliminated, just as Patriarch Eugene, by appealing to Anuzish, prevented the Rinzeite curses from taking effect.
-- You are also welcome to consult with someone about this, if my authority, and even the authority of the princess, is not enough...
