"Oh my~
That won't do, now would it?"
Selene spoke up, and this time, the one who backed her up was Commander Cedric.
"Indeed."
Yes, the two rival nations had now come into a momentary alliance.
Cedric then stared at Aurelia and,
"You aren't telling me your warriors are incapable of fighting without their Bonds, are you? What are they going to do if their Bond perishes in battle, hold back their allies?"
"I am stating that my warriors are at their strongest when they are together with their Bonds, and I only want my warriors to fight with the Hero at their strongest.
This is the least amount of respect both my warriors and the Hero deserve, don't you think?"
Aurelia answered, and against those words, Cedric couldn't retort.
He, out of all people, understood warriors' pride the most. He couldn't go against it, that would go against everything he represented.
In the end, Cedric closed his eyes, accepting his defeat.
However…
Selene was different.
"Come on now."
