Teladeadja

The king narrowed his eyes as he looked at me and said: "Princess Cyrilia, Crown Princess Adel, you should know my dwarven kingdom runs on the craftsmen you are currently looking to poach. Are you trying to ruin my kingdom?"

"Ruin your kingdom?" I asked. "I did not come here to ruin a kingdom. You may survive off craftsmen, but I am not taking them all. And I am not forcing them to come with me. They are following me by choice. Second, your kingdom is already in a downward spiral. Have you not seen the homeless filling the streets? What king allows his people to suffer? You make millions to billions of gold per year, yet you still have homeless people begging for money. Why is this?"

"Hmmm? Homeless?" The king looked perplexed. But I do not understand how he would miss such a thing.
