Rachel sat quietly for a moment, watching Garion near the window.
"Alright," Rachel said calmly. "So what do we do now?"
Garion glanced at her but didn't answer yet.
Rachel continued, her tone thoughtful. "Draconia has officially become our enemy. That much is already clear."
She walked a few steps closer to the window and folded her arms lightly.
"But because they joined the Black Chimera, the situation has changed. Even the Grand Council cannot easily take back Draconia's territory now."
Garion nodded slightly.
Rachel looked back at him. "Which means something very simple."
She paused. "In the near future… we will most likely go to war with them."
The room became quiet again.
Garion slowly smiled. "Sure."
Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly. "That's your reaction?"
Garion shrugged casually. "Why not?"
He leaned against the wall near the window. "You're not afraid, right?"
Rachel blinked once. "Afraid?"
Garion tilted his head. "From what I heard…"
