The Uncertainty

King Gulben sat in heavy contemplation, his fingers pressing against the armrest of his throne. Fairon's suggestion was a bold one. He was saying that they should attacking first at those who had long been their enemies then ensuring they could not ally with Laston before his forces fully emerged.

It was a logical move, but without undeniable proof it was also a dangerous gamble. If they acted on mere suspicion, they might start an unnecessary war when those kind that have been their enemies were now laying until low. That war could weaken them before the real battle even began.

He exhaled slowly before meeting Fairon's gaze.

"I understand your reasoning, but attacking now without clear evidence could turn uncertain enemies into certain ones," he said with calm and firm voice. "We need more proof before we act."

Fairon let out a quiet sigh, his expression shadowed with concern.
