“I believe supporting the Valcaron family is the right choice this time.”

“What on earth could be the reason for that? The Draven family has been loyal to the royal family for generations and has repeatedly sent relief supplies to the demonic front!”

A headache throbbed at Linasien's temples.

Even now, the ministers continued to quarrel over the border between the Valcaron and Draven territories. Both families had originally supported the Crown Princess, but recently, Draven had shifted to backing Airan.

As a result, those supporting the Crown Princess rallied behind Valcaron, while Airan's supporters stood with Draven, prolonging the dispute.

“What is Your Highness’s opinion?”

“Both sides have valid points, but neither seems to have enough justification for us to fully commit to either.”

The ministers fell silent as Linasien spoke, rubbing her temples.

More accurately, she froze upon seeing the woman accompanying him.

“What is she doing here?”
