Damien knew that elves were impressive, but...
Theo looked at him, shaking his head. "This isn't just impressive—this is unprecedented. No country has ever established formal diplomatic relations with the elves before. This is something completely unheard of, and we can't even know if it'll be beneficial or harmful. But no country will refuse, I'm certain. What about the kingdom?"
"Of course, it's still highly confidential," Elyric replied. "We don't want any influence from the kingdom affecting the Monkey's decision before the matter is settled."
...Ah, so if the kingdom hears about this first, they might push for Theo's appointment as ambassador before Damien even has a chance to establish his position. If Theo were to go as the ambassador to the elf village, Damien would definitely follow.
