"We are just going to stand by? Is that what the King ordered us to do?"
"No, it is Lord Basil's order."
"Did our King agree to this?"
"As of now, he has yet to know."

The Grittenhein's Legion Commanders that remained in the Kingdom stared at the female Elf before him with a complicated look. The female Elf had just told him that the Empire was going to attack Kingdom and they were advised to do nothing.
It was absurd for them to hear that. It got even more absurd when they found out that the squad of Elves also didn't know the purpose of doing that. They could tell that the Elves didn't have any bad intentions but they still couldn't bring themselves to follow the advice. How could they merely watch as their Kingdoms got taken over?
