Capítulo 213: Listening To The Leader

"My people are proud and my ministers feared that…"

"They feared that if the Mothylek's leader knew that the King was a woman, they would be ridiculed?" Anja added. 

Anja took the words right out of Sylvy's mouth. But there was an additional reason as well. 

Nodding her head, she continued, "Indeed. Not to mention they don't exactly believe I have the ability to rule."

"I had that worry too," Anja said as she placed her hand on her heart, "Looks like we're not that different after all."

As discussions continued, both sides were able to iron out the necessary details. Sylvy made a bold move, something none of them had expected her to ask. She wanted a stronger alliance to be forged between the Kingdom and the Republic. 

"...Furthermore, I may require your assistance when I return to the castle, " Sylvy explained solemnly. 

"Our assistance?" Anja asked.
