Princess Danaphine nodded at Blake's words. "This is very true. That was how things used to be in the distant past, but now things are much different. I fear now my entire kingdom will be relying on you."
Princess Danaphine did not mean anything bad by her words, it was just a fact that she and her father, along with her people, were in a strange world that seemed to be on the brink of a massive war.
Blake took no offense to her words. He knew that it was hard for any kingdom that had gone through so much already to seek refuge with another. Or even be under someone else's protection and pretty much their control. "Don't think too much about it. Right now, we are here to speak on equal terms. If things go okay we will be able to work together."
