ERYX'S POV
"Are they forcing us to give them the future Empress at any cost?" Minister Ario asked. We are in the main court, discussing the request of Empress Cromwell. I still find it absurd, and out of the plan.
"The Empress of Cronadion demanded that we hand them the sacred lotus which was already absorbed by Lady Valeraine Thornfield. How are we supposed to give her what she demanded?

"They're just trying to use this excuse to start a war." The Royal Mother said she's also looking for trouble on this sudden request. "Why don't we just heal her sister's illness even without the sacred lotus, isn't it possible?"
