"But... the casualties now are already severe enough."
Firina appeared a bit surprised.
"Ms. Kalanis, considering the casualties, this is not the same as the power you control..."
Kalanis' eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
"Power is what I control; it does not control me."
Even if wielding the authority of a tyrant, so what?
How could it shake her will!
Firina was stunned. The simple words made her feel as if thunder was roaring in her ears.
After pondering for a long time, she deeply bowed to Kalanis.
"I have learned."
After standing up, she spoke softly.
"In recent days, we've discovered some clues about the beastmen initiating a war, but we can't be certain yet."
"If we don't uncover the true intentions of the beastmen, the price we might pay later could be ten or a hundred times more severe than now."
