The Bronze Bell Kingdom was... surprisingly small in comparison to other kingdoms.
Whether that was due to its origins as a collection of pastoral villages that were then formed into a kingdom or because of its location in the center of a lush valley that dissuaded both invasion and expansion was unclear to the wider world, not that anyone amongst the local populace cared in the slightest.
That stated, because the Bronze Bell Kingdom was smaller, rumors and news had a tendency to travel across its idyllic landscapes at a rate that outpaced even the most robust courtier system of the wealthiest kingdoms around the world.
Which is why, despite happening only a mere day ago, everyone in the Bronze Bell Kingdom was talking about a certain battle that had taken place.
"Did you hear? Members of Iona's flock tried to assassinate a high-ranking member of Alder's!"
"No way!"
"Seriously?!"
