A New Ally

The eight diplomats sent by Avancia looked at each other in worry. Lance's words echoed in their minds and now, they can't help but feel scared as to what may await in the East.

"No," Elliot shook his head. "It's not like Erin has a history of feuds with Alice, right? Erin may be older than Alice, but it's definitely not the case. I hope."

"The friendship between them is strong, but I don't know if Erin is actually in contact with Brandon. That guy is very toxic," Ed added. "If they really are together, it will most definitely break Alice's heart."

"After she overcame all her trials," Lance sighed. "Good thing Alice can rely on us if she ever wants us to help her by comfort or anything."

Lance made codenames so their conversation would be hidden under the radar. He composed of a story between Erin aka the Eastern Kingdoms, Alice aka Avancia, and "us" aka the ones from the East who reached out to them.
