On the Continent of Aslante, talking about equality in the face of a Strongman is a sure sign of insanity.
The current situation is that not only is Miss Derris powerful, but the Elf Race backing her is even more formidable.
Including Marshal Hudson himself, when facing Miss Derris, one could indulge in some harmless jests, but once the Elf Race is involved, he also has to treat the matter with the utmost care.
"Let's talk here!"
Miss Derris said with annoyance.
Perhaps realizing she didn't know the way, or perhaps it was intentional, Miss Derris effectively showed everyone through her actions: she was in a very bad mood, do not provoke me!
"I've been outmaneuvered!"
Hudson thought to himself.
His interjection just now did alleviate some of the pressure the Elf Race had placed on the Moxi People, but Miss Derris also conveniently crafted an image of herself as bad-tempered.
