Was that really necessary? Iria frowned in secret. She was never a fan of parties and all as she spent all her time in the military. And now, they even wanted her to say something?!
"There's nothing much to say, Uncle Feric. You already know how everything happened." Arin finally spoke up. Turning his head to Iria, he said, "After many decades, we finally found peace and we plan to make it work. Am I right, Iria?"
Iria was glad that Arin spoke up on their behalf but... his question made her flustered. When did she ever say that she planned to make it work?
She could feel how all eyes were on her and she knew better than to say something negative. If she did that, the alliance will be questioned before they were fully prepared. However, she not only felt the gaze of the other guests on her as Prince Orius was also watching her from afar. This made her uncomfortable.
After a long silence, she finally nodded in agreement. "Yes. That's our purpose."
