The 'Sea Maiden' Melissa rarely prayed, especially with such serious kneeling prayer.
But today, when she intended to earnestly ask for the King's protection, her companion rudely interrupted her.
The 'Peddler' Mashnat walked over slowly and asked:
"Melissa, how are the preparations going?"
Melissa was silent for a moment, then stood up and said:
"...The people at the institute said it's almost ready, and the subsecretary is also coming soon. But isn't the cost a bit too high for doing this?"
Mashnat shook his head:
"We have no choice. With the rebels ahead, while their False God hasn't stepped in, we must make a decision. The survival of the entire planet hinges on this moment."
"...I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle it."
"Kingdom of Divine Help, may we sleep peacefully every night thereafter."
.........
Things don't always go smoothly.
"Ha, the Kingdom Army has no usable soldiers left!"
"We've reached the coastline, and still nobody has come to intercept us."
