Hearing the dragon race's secret history, Orion was curious, so he asked his own question.
"Why, then, in the past ten thousand years, hasn't the Merfolk Clan attempted to invade the continent?"
Jorik shook his head, indicating he wasn't entirely sure.
However, this question was answered by Grand Duke Richard, who was standing nearby.
"Ten thousand years ago, after several battles between the Saint of our Human Kingdom and the Arch Lord of the Slark Merfolk, a non-aggression pact was signed."
"The exact results of the battles weren't recorded, but our Human Kingdom's plans to open sea trade routes were extinguished."
"For this reason, the Royal Capital of our Human Kingdom wasn't built here."
In fact, when the Human Kingdom claimed the southernmost region, taking control of White Dragon Frostsire's territory, they didn't make Whitecliff the capital, partly because of the existence of the Merfolk Clan.
