Ms. Yeshandalah felt a bit embarrassed as she said, "This is a personal matter for me; how can I allow you to spend so much time and effort on it? We have already found a way to suppress the epidemic toxin; it's not lethal in the short term. The matter of Efanso is more important. Each additional day that your Conqueror Army stays at the Giant Dragon Coast increases the danger. Many cities are feeling threatened and might break with tradition to unite against you."
"Ms. Yeshandalah, I must correct your perspective. This issue is no longer solely your personal matter. Whether or not we ultimately decide to send troops against Efanso, we must find a cure for this plague virus. Having a strong hand in negotiations is an advantage," Gaven seriously replied.
If the specific antidote for this bio-weapon were not in hand, even those trying to stay out of the matter would feel uneasy.
