- And do they comply? Do they refrain from exploitation? - I'm just curious - do you exist on voluntary donations or government subsidies? Or do you charge a fee for your services, and if so, what exactly is it based on in this scheme?

He wasn't alone in the room. Some man was meditating near the entrance. Despite his apparent calmness and detachment, Garret intuitively felt that he was carefully watching him.
"Damn it, are there really cultists here, and they've even put a guard in place?"
In any case, there was no other way than to go through the silent guard.
— Hey, hello. — Garret addressed him.
—I see you've come to your senses, that's great. Don't worry, you are completely safe here, and your health and belongings—his gaze slid first over the knife, then over the human skull—are not in danger.
For a few short moments, he subconsciously studied the personality of the newcomer. His philosopher friends boasted about their ability to wrap the obvious in a veil of mystery; here, however, he was required to do the opposite: to explain the complex in simple terms.
—My name is Klin, I am a servant in the service of Her Imperial Highness, Princess Naria Es Diesra Arual. I believe that your current situation requires immediate explanation, and if you agree to listen, I will gladly provide it to you, Sir...?

- Sounds like a worthwhile venture; people must trust you. Alright, let's say I or someone I know is looking for a job. How can you help here?
- DON'T TOUCH IT!)) - Raphael grabs Diadora so that she can't move her hands. - This is clearly a trap! Otherwise, they wouldn't be so tempting))
Go straight to the wall and then down to the passage, avoid the fruits.
The girl didn't insist, and they continued according to Raphael's plan. A few moments later, they find themselves in the throne room.
There, they are surrounded by a squad of armed men in deer masks. In the center of the procession was a pretty girl, 162 cm tall.

Are we just pretending to fight, or is there a chance we'll actually get hurt in the battle?
Can we just pretend to fight, or is there a chance of losing the battle?

— Come on, we were given our senses for a reason; it's obvious they're fresh and smell good...

Raphael throws a cracker at the upper left deer.
You can, but you need to indicate that you're doing it playfully.

Kenshiro greets the assembly with a short bow.
-- My name is Kenshiro Imai, and I have indeed come from afar. I do not consider myself a wise or learned man, but I am convinced that anyone who intends to live a worthy life must listen to the people of the past and present, seeking truth and virtue. To rely solely on one's own foresight is presumptuous and dangerous. That is why I am here.
After Kenshiro, other philosophers introduced themselves, and then the assembled discussed a wide variety of topics, prompted by the organizer. Finally, there was only time for the last topic.
— So, gentlemen, at the end of our meeting today, I propose that we discuss a topic that is awkward for many people in the modern world: which is worse, seduction or rape?
— Hmm, seduction is worse, of course, — Hector Lamaris, a sailor, was the first to speak. — We are talking about a married woman, right? Seduction is like rape of the mind and a real murder of the soul and heart. No matter how terrible the act of violence, a virtuous woman will remain faithful to her husband and become a victim of such dishonor through the fault of a third party, while seduction leads to an act of vile betrayal.
— I cannot agree with that, — the foreign prince countered, — any violence outside the battlefield is an act of vile barbarism that has no justification and cannot have any. If a woman succumbs to temptation, it only speaks to a lack of love from her husband.
— You are all wrong, — Shen Tao, chairman of Mindjin, clapped his hands, drawing the attention of those present to himself, — a woman is first and foremost the property of her family: her father, husband, or son, and therefore anyone who encroaches on her without the permission of the man who is in charge of her life is nothing more than a base thief. In the old days, thieves had their hands cut off, and I think that seducers and rapists deserve the same fate.
— It seems that the opinions of our guests are very diverse... Does anyone want to add anything to this topic?

— If you want my opinion, I wouldn't recommend applying to positions six and eight. They aren't involved in anything illegal, but I think you deserve better.
