"I came this time mainly for the Shatake Sovereign; the council heard that the Shatake Sovereign's health is getting worse."
Okens took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.
"That's right, the news is true. The Shatake Sovereign's health is deteriorating day by day."
Commander Alekde replied in a deep voice.
"The reason Dr. Blakes is accompanying me this time is to visit the Shatake Sovereign and see if we can cure him."
"I'm afraid that will be difficult. I heard it's due to genetic mutation, which can't be cured."
"If we can't cure him, it will be a big problem. I don't need to elaborate on how important the Sabakex Kingdom is to us, do I?"
"I'm very aware, it's our largest transit point to the Three Forbidden Zones."
"Exactly, the Sabakex Kingdom must stand with us, that's unquestionable."
"What's the council's stance?"
"The council's stance is simple: if the Shatake Sovereign indeed can't go on, we support a prince to ascend the throne."
