Inside the Palace, ministers and nobles bowed their heads in silence, awaiting the King's words.
General Bek, along with the generals of Ajia Royal City, knelt before the throne.
As they looked up at the one seated on the throne, they also accepted the scrutiny from above.
King Anuket looked down upon them, the secular authority of Ajia Land, determined to win the war.
He would not and could not accept defeat in this war. How could Kagawulus's creation, the prophetic Three-eyed Ape People, be defeated by the blood-drinking Beastmen?
"I will grant you swords, grant you armor, and grant you chariots and steeds."
King Anuket, in the presence of his officials, slowly promised various rewards to the generals,
"If you return in triumph, I shall grant you eternal lands, that your descendants may enjoy boundless glory under the achievements of today."
The generosity of King Anuket was undeniable, and everyone knew that, despite his severe laws, he was a man of his word.
