The atmosphere in the room turned a bit tense as everyone went silent. Ard and Eva kept thinking, weighing the decision they had to make, because no matter what they chose, there would certainly be pros and cons. Irina remained quiet in the middle without saying a word, while Hardim simply waited calmly, sitting in front of them with his legs swaying slightly as he sipped his drink.
After nearly an hour, Ard and Eva finally turned to look at one another. They nodded to each other and turned to face Hardim together. Irina waited for what Ard and Eva were about to say; she looked at Ard, then looked at Eva.
"If we were to help, what would we have to do?" Ard asked.
"Are you willing to help us? The dwarven race?" Hardim asked.
"Answer my question first," Ard replied.
"Very well. First of all, we go to the Kingdom of Grimgrath and meet with King Murmic II Goldshield to discuss their plans. I will personally escort you there," Hardim said.
"Hmm... I see how it is," Ard muttered.
