August first proposed his plan to Melania. It had many elements that she didn't have much information on, but August assured her that he could make it all work.
It was an assurance that one could only believe if one had blind faith. Melania may have resolved to follow August and be his sword, but she did not want to blindly follow his words. She was her own person with her own thoughts. If she wanted to assist him, she had to be ready to counter him when he was saying idiotic things.
Even this time, she got the urge to tell him that his dreams were not possible. He was proposing something far beyond what people of their caliber were capable of. If he failed, then Arulion would be doomed to fall.
Did she want to go along with it despite her opinions…?
At first, the answer was a flat no. However, when she saw the look in his eyes, she began to waver.
'He's serious about this.'
