"No exceptions?" Asked Sumaia surprised by such a.s.surance.

"Only If the s.h.i.+ps' commands are packed with absolute morons."

"Compared to Throne Restorers, their ragtag vessels are a bad joke. Moreover, The Restorers maintains alliances with many sea mortals skirting the northern coast, just calling one could completely obliterate them."

"In recent times, Winged Serpent Tribe became a confident aggressor, simply due to the fact they can always retreat within the forest for fortified logistics. Their leaders.h.i.+p understands their strengths and weaknesses. They know their 'strong zone' lies in and around the forest, so they stick to their hit and run asymmetric strategy. The Restorers acknowledges that fighting them in and around the Szornix Garden is too great of a loss; thus, they just let them continue their genocide."

"What are they doing now, showing up here?"

"The current exchange is them congratulating each other for gaining greater deterrent. Nothing more than jerking each other off," Anila scoffed. "The Winged Serpent Tribe destroyed their enemies to the root while The Restorers gained talent from ancient bloodlines. The poor tribes caught in the middle are p.a.w.ns in a proxy to create a better buffer between the two powers."

"Is it not dangerous to a.s.sume all this is to gain a buffer, but not a pivot for something greater?"

"Look at you girl, you are not wrong. Though those corrupt decaying b.a.s.t.a.r.ds at the Throne Restorers only know how to scheme within the shelter that s.h.i.+elds them. Infighting for their personal interest, with the lack of a clear foresight. Without central leaders.h.i.+p, no military of its own, and divided loyalties, the different divisions function in a disjointed manner."

"It seems so far I learned the wrong things from you."

"Oh, my son woke up," from a great distance, Anila sensed Rais's aura.

"Naturally, I used the Water Essence Amulet, protecting him from his mothers' savagery," Tossing a cerulean token into the air, Sumaia glanced at Anila, "why so strict on a little boy."

"Otherwise, death remains the only option for him."

Ha?

"Forget it, explain that treasure? First, you even refuse to let you Master touch it, and now you are planning on giving it away?"

"Because it's worth giving away," she produced a mischievous smile.

"Pa.s.s it to me, and I will give it to him," Anila's hand itched to s.n.a.t.c.h on the token.

"No no no, that's not how giving works," dancing her fingers, she moved away from Anila. "He needs to recognize that this princess gave it to him. As you have taught me, one needs to have better foresight."

Near the coast, starting towards Rais and Ludos, Mursina stepped backward, while they followed along.

"Why so gloomy, b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you did nothing to cause their misfortunes," Mursina dug at Ludos.

"Thanks for the concern, homeless b.i.t.c.h," without stretching, they both laughed it off.

"Why you boys, seek us two beautiful sisters for?"

Embarra.s.sed, to request for such a favor, Rais's face turned slightly red. Though remembering the previous instance, when he begged her, he decided to be smug about it.

"Elder sister, worthy mortals, seeks not you, but the forest. The forest waits for them."

"Thou stated that forest tribes hold a duty, will beautiful sister not complete that said part of that duty? With a reasonable term, of course," although fl.u.s.tered Rais's eyes didn't leave her.

While keep walking backward, she grinned, though she felt relieved "Anything you say, though you didn't need to ask for such a minor matter. If I didn't invite you, someone else would have sooner or later." Maintaining a pleasant smile on her face, Asnia remained quiet while Rais peered at her with a questioning gaze.

Although puzzled by the complete change of mind, he nonetheless became excited.

"I told you before my sister is a great person," Asnia confronted Rais and Ludos about their unkind remarks.

"Are you not disobeying your clan?"

"You don't know about my clan, as for the term, bring us out of this miserable place when you join the Throne Restorers, so we never have to come back."

"We would have taken elder sister to the western Ranatelia without request. Please ask for something reasonable to create a fair deal."

"I have nothing that I seek right now, so don't forget you will owe us a favor in the future."

Rais and Ludos turned excited to have a chance to explore the great unknown like the Szronix Garden.

"Many thanks, sister Mursina" Rais and Ludos expressed their respect.

"Carry out your business and come back here by evening. We should be ready by then."

After Rais and Ludos departed, Asnia stood there staring at them with her captivating deerlike eyes. "Thank you, sister, for doing this, the elder refused even after I begged them."

"Sister, don't stare like that, though I must say he does look like one of those colorful fish, people keep in their fish tank to stare at." Although she didn't want to smile, a smile hung on her face.

"Ehh!"

"Forget it."

On the largest s.h.i.+p of the Throne Restorer, a few warriors laid flat on the deck, staring at the reddish cloudy sky. While joking around, they noticed a cabin boy, running towards them.

"A storm is coming."

"No s.h.i.+t."

Somewhat scared, the cabin boy stooped, placing his head down. "Please tell the Lieutenant, we lost contact with the last s.h.i.+p carrying last of the children."
