"Great Ratholos Empire…" Belline muttered again with a distant, reminiscing gaze, recalling the past of her younger years. After a while, she claimed, "I was from the Great Ratholos Empire."
"Is there some connection between the Great Ratholos Empire and the Life-bound Hex I've been afflicted with, Lord Vahn?" Belline asked shortly after.
"During your treatment, we extracted the subordinate component of the Life-bound Hex. Among the ingredients used to create the subordinate component, we found a particular fishy substance uncommon in these areas, Lady Belline," Vaan explained.
"I see…" Belline uttered with understanding.
"So that's why the Great Ratholos Empire, possessing one of the largest aquatic markets in Pangea, was mentioned. Only a few places, like the Great Ratholos Empire's sea market, sell exotic and unusual aquatic creatures and plants."
