Aurium spoke first. "I imagine this has to do with the state of Polona."
At his words, things somehow became more tense as the Commander's posture became rigid.
Irene was still in total disbelief that the knights and a duke were interacting so openly with Nickronian mages. It was something she never knew of happening, even when the past King wasn't so opposed to the mages.
"My knights were asked to come to Idona due to the possibility of another monster war breaking out," the Commander responded. "Bad management of the barrier around Polona has caused a lot of worry for the people who live nearby."
Sir Trenton had to look away from the fire so that they wouldn't be able to see a smirk pulling at the edge of his lips. He was always proud when Henry's softness left during the times he was faced with unfairness.
Aurium was less than amused, and his eyes narrowed. "Poor management on my part or poor management of the one chosen by a dragon?" he shot back.
