章 452: What Really Happened To The Dragon

"Might we hear what your business is here?"

When Mother asked them that question, the tree spirits seemed to be hesitating, and they just glanced at one another. It took them a few seconds before they all nodded in agreement. 

"Your Majesty," Aesfen said. "The reason why we are here is that we are asking your nation to take us, the tree spirits and our home, under its wing. We want your nation to recognize us and make us part of its own."

"I see." 

So that was what they wanted, huh? Thinking about it, it was logical for them to seek asylum from us since we literally established a civilization within the most dangerous environment on the continent. 

They must have recognized our capabilities and approached us. But there might be another reason why they have resorted to this. I looked at Mother, and she immediately understood what I wanted to imply.
