The priest was skeptical too, as he had been informed of the attack on Erik’s kingdom. He had even been allowed access to the nobles’ homes that were massacred during the incident.

Erik had a look of disappointment on his face "No need, trying a second time will just make us look like fools unable to accept the reality of the situation"
