"Princess Isadora of Rakha seeks an alliance with Wugari, and she has outlined several conditions for us to consider," King Marlin addressed Rosalind, who was widely regarded as the future Duchess of Wugari, despite not yet being officially married to the Duke. The King's demeanor seemed more respectful than in their previous meetings, acknowledging Rosalind's growing influence. Queen Isabella, seated next to the King, supported the idea of collaboration with Rakha.

"They want the portal located near the Rothley Estate?" she exclaimed, surprised by the audacity of the request. "I thought Princess Isadora was a business expert. Shouldn't she understand the potential risks involved?" Rosalind queried, her voice tinged with skepticism.
