"Heh... looks like I was an ant to those truly powerful beings who could crush me the moment they wanted to. It's just that, to those I knew, I was still useful. But to these humans... I am not. Instead, like my former enemies, I am simply one to be crushed... and forgotten."
He chuckled internally as he looked at the calm human, who still gave him the feeling of looking down upon him.
A feeling he disliked with all his heart.
Yet one he was helpless to change.
After a brief silence, he finally spoke.
"Tell me... why? Why attack us? Because we chased your envoy fleet that approached us? Was that reason enough for this? Huh? Tell me, human leader!!"
Do my empire need a reason to attack this republic? Mav asked back. "It is our choice whether we attack you or not. And do we need to have a reason for it?"
"Heh." Vael chuckled upon hearing this. "No reason, you say, human? Everything has its reason, no matter how big or how small they are..."
