"The atmosphere is too heavy. The Empire's situation is worse than we imagined..."
Heidlin said this as she looked at the Royal Capital, which gave off an extremely "hurried" feeling, and spoke to Shara beside her: "This war has only made the already divided situation worse. It seems the Duchy has hit our sore spot."
"..."
But Shara did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked at Heidlin for a moment, then sighed, and corrected her earnestly: "Indeed, they have hit the Empire's sore spot."
"..."
"..."
*Yes, it's the Empire's sore spot, not "our" sore spot.*
*Strictly speaking, Shara and Heidlin belonged to different factions and had different political affiliations, so using "our" to summarize was inappropriate.*
*One could even say that Shara and the Yila Faction she belonged to were the root of the Empire's instability.*
"However, to say it's truly a 'sore spot' may not be entirely accurate."
