"Your wife?" the ancient tree spoke with a hint of disbelief. Its voice, deep and reverberating, held a tone of skepticism that resonated through the forest. "Heh, hahaha, don't be ridiculous. Such audacious claims are often used to deceive."
Thaedan, moved by the gravity of the situation and aware of Lyon's immense power, spoke with a tone of earnest supplication. "Mighty Ancient Tree, I implore you to heed our pleas. The matter we seek your guidance on holds profound significance, and the one who stands before you, the Zodiac Emperor, is not to be underestimated. He is the epitome of resolve and determination."
The ancient tree seemed to ponder Thaedan's words, and a deep silence filled the forest as if all of nature itself awaited its response.
The ancient tree's initial disbelief quickly transformed into anger. "The Zodiac Emperor, you say?" it thundered. "That man, he who dared challenge the wrath of Paradise and Purgatory... Lies! Lies! Lies!"
