"Adventurers of the Kingdom! Help me in purging the demon attacking our beloved kingdom and I shall reward you." The Royal mage announced using voice modulation magic as she knew that she will not be able to defeat Adrian without the aid of adventurers.
The players are hesitant to attack Adrian's soulbounds because of his fame. They also do not know the reason why he is attacking the kingdom but the reward from the royal mage is something anyone would want. The only thing that is preventing them from helping is that no notification quest popped out.
Without the quest notification to guarantee their reward, the players are debating where to attack or not. Some of them decided to not bother because no quest notification showed up and they just left the scene. These are the people that have yet to build an achievement or those that have been in the kingdom long enough to know that they will not get a great reward even with helping.
