🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Kamistella involuntarily imagined the king sending an artist to establish diplomatic relations with the Scrags. During the mission, the poor fellow's psyche would be damaged beyond any chance of recovery... As far as the Lunar Elf understood the grand politics of her homeland, King Thiozar was a staunch representative of the monarchy, and things were going relatively well for the people under his rule. And she hadn't heard of any major conspiracies against the current ruler. Except that the king seemed to be overly fond of visitors, but if anyone had a complaint about that, it certainly wasn't her. Unfortunately, her adoptive parents didn't really like discussing Asuguh: their hearts were still with their homeland. All of this led to some gaps in Kamistella's knowledge. "The burden of a ruler is heavy..." the Lunar Elf mumbled uncertainly in response to the noblewoman's frank speech. "Perhaps our king has spent too much energy on state affairs and no longer has the time or desire for romance. After all, he is not young anymore... how old is the king now? However, an heir is certainly needed, otherwise... things usually don't end well. Perhaps if he hasn't shown interest in you... it means that no one else can arouse his interest." The Curse of Akonia... once, her parents told Kamistella about the mad guardian, whose boundless thirst for slaughter was fueled by a stone in his chest. However, the emphasis in the story was on the man's first-class personality and combat skills, regardless of the influence of the curse. But the Lunar Elf still drew a certain moral from it: the only thing Akonia deserves is respect.
