"Nicely done, Kuro. Your absence really was missed over the last few months, it certainly is quite reassuring to have the most powerful monsters as allies," Remarked Erhtaph, as I finished explaining the results of my visit to Abyss, "And I must say, it was quite a bold move to rename Platinberg and declare it as your own nation."
"Well, I never planned for that to happen, it just sort of ended up that way," I replied sheepishly.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing your decision, quite the contrary, in fact. You are, without a doubt, the most important asset to the Rustlands."
I'm pretty sure he's just buttering me up to smooth over the cracks of irritation I'd gotten from the king last time, but whatever, I'll take it.
