Feel sorry for them

Everyone looked at me with bated breath when they heard this.

There was even a bit of aggrievement in their eyes at the fact that I was keeping them waiting like this, but it couldn't be helped since I was still figuring out my thoughts.

There were things that I didn't know since they were not in the game, so I had to think them through before saying them out loud.

Finally, Ariel couldn't take it anymore and said, "What is it? What is your plan?"

I was pulled out of my thoughts, but I didn't tell her anything about a plan. Instead, I said, "Well, you see, the problem that our kingdom is facing right now is that we might have gotten involved with someone related to the royal family of the Tide Empire."

I went on to explain the situation with Viper and what he had claimed about the Tide Empire.

But while I was still explaining this, Ariel suddenly said, "What does that have to do with my situation?"
