"......Yes, that's right. I agree that King Sigma Dorren and the House of Grated should be protected in the Kingdom of Fontana. Especially the Grated family has suffered a vile attack. They rushed to one of the territories of the Kingdom of Fontana, the Reed Domain, with a call for help, while desperately protecting King Dorren. It would be unwise to ignore that."
