"I can't shake off this feeling that there's something they're not telling us," Leon said as he discussed the matter with Freya and Euna in the warm glow of a luxurious restaurant that evening.
"They seemed too secretive and controlling, like they have some hidden agenda."
Euna listened carefully and nodded slowly. "I worry this situation may escalate. The Forest Elves may live in isolation, but that doesn't mean they're weak or unwilling to act beyond their borders."
Leon sighed. "You think they might attack because they feel threatened by what I did? But they're the ones who started this."
"It's possible," Euna replied. "They are fiercely protective of their land and traditions. If they perceive your actions as a threat, they may seek retribution."
"But I didn't do anything wrong," Leon said.
Freya leaned back with a smirk. "Taking Princess Alora away from them? That could easily be seen as quite the bold move, my dear Leon."
