"Once you reach human-controlled territory, don't hide your identity unless Nyra believes revealing it would put you in greater danger."

"If they're soldiers from your kingdom, your name should prevent them from immediately attacking."
"Should?"
"Nothing involving frightened soldiers and weapons is guaranteed."

She pointed toward my storage ring.

"...Fair."
"You tell them you have diplomatic messages intended for someone with an SS-ranked core or higher."
"And if they don't believe me?"
"Then prove who you are."
I paused.
"How?"
Lyssairia stared at me.
I stared back.
Then realization arrived.
"My Vortex identification crest."
"There you go."
I sighed.
