Linda paused for a moment and spoke, "When my father finally recovered from his injury, he realized that he couldn't fight the demons alone. That's why we need to go to the church for help. We usually don't involve the church in kingdom politics, but this is a matter of great importance and we can't take any chances."
Alex inquires, "What is it that the church desires in exchange for their support?" to which Linda responds, "The church demands that I enter into a politically motivated marriage with the King of the Dharma Kingdom. Additionally, our kingdom would be obligated to grant the church authority to interfere in political affairs."
As Alex probes for more information, another memory of Linda surfaces before him.
The King is required to sign the agreement in order for the hero to come and fight in the kingdom, and once the agreement is signed, the hero can start his mission of defeating the demons.
