"My Lord. Are we sure about this? Letting a boy, if you are correct in him not disguising his true age, taking over the region?" one of the Council Members asked.

 City Lord Krell understand what the man was not saying, his tone delivering the hidden message.

 Ferbul Region had maintained its status as an independent Region by being a backwater region, and having a number of forces that can make any conquest more than its worth.

 However, the emergence of a new power could mean the change in status quo. As a Region depending on it, such changes could either lead to the flourishing of the Region, or its ruin.

 "Council Member Cras," City Lord Krell called out to the other man, "If his age is correct, and that he is a child, it's even more imperative we support him."

 This earned him weird look from other Council Members. City Lord Krell sighed, while glad he is the leader or Cumbra City might see its ruin.
