Rumaal immediately glanced at Kanis.
He didn't dare answer the Swordfall King directly. Instead, he looked toward Kanis with an almost pleading expression, silently hoping the True Sword Cultivator would clear up the misunderstanding.
Kanis noticed Rumaal's predicament and gave him a slight nod.
"My King, it seems you have misunderstood the situation," Kanis said respectfully.
"There is no conflict between our two factions in Orveth at present. In fact, I have taken the liberty of forming a temporary alliance with King Runiye's faction to pursue a common goal."
His explanation finally allowed Rumaal and Anaah to breathe a little easier.
They had been worried that a careless misunderstanding might put them in an uncomfortable position before the Swordfall King. After all, their faction had no desire to antagonize a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator, even through an illusory projection.
The Swordfall King looked at Kanis for a moment before his expression eased slightly.
