While the notion of the throne itself being problematic was already far-fetched, it at least had some semblance of logic, being a relic of the Sky Conquering Dynasty, intrinsically linked to the Flamefeast. The existence of a tool capable of draining a Flamefeast descendant's power, though implausible, was not entirely beyond reason.
In contrast, Ansel's assertion of a "mysterious force or individual" seemed utterly baseless.
Pablo, his expression conflicted, continued to advocate for Ansel, his tone gravely serious: "Lord Hydral, if you truly fear such a force exists, we could attempt to lure them out by slaying Evora. Surely they wouldn't allow her to perish before fully extracting the Flamefeast's power."
He was offering Ansel a way out — implicitly urging him to abandon his efforts to preserve Evora's life.
