Chapter 145: The Vengeful Elf(Part 5)
"We’re grateful to all of you, the outcome would undoubtedly have been much worse if you hadn’t helped us. So, thank you," Remarked one of the Elders, with a grateful bow of her head.
"You don’t need to thank us, we couldn’t very well just sit back and do nothing in that situation. I just wish we’d actually managed to make a difference...we were up against a single enemy, but we were helpless," Responded Jules, a frustrated grimace on her face, before thinking to herself, "If only I’d thought to summon the Resurrection Baton, we might have been able to reverse at least one of the deaths, but it completely slipped my mind during the battle...and by the time I remembered, it was too late."
"You’re wrong about that. If it weren’t for all of you, more of us would almost certainly have been killed," Pointed out Zesta.
"And while we are grateful, we cannot possibly be so shameless as to ask for any additional assistance in this matter. And we will need to table the discussions of the alliance until this matter has been dealt with...but please don’t misunderstand, we fully intend on forming the alliance as discussed, and we will move forward with it, if and when we deal with the current issue we’re facing," Spoke up another of the Elders.
"Indeed, you should leave and head back to Persona, this is not your problem to fix, and you’ve already lost one of your Knights in this battle. We cannot and will not ask you to risk any more of your lives for our sake," Nodded one of the other Elders in agreement.
"Well, you don’t need to ask. We’ve already discussed it amongst ourselves, and we’ve made the decision to help. That Elf, I believe he said his name is Leptar, is extremely strong, so you’re going to need all the help you can get. And we’re willing to provide you with that help, so we’ll stay and fight," Replied Lyra with a smile.
"Are you certain of this? We cannot deny that we are in a dire situation here, and we’re not so prideful as to refuse help when we clearly need it, but...," Frowned one of the Elders hesitantly.
"We’re sure. It may not be official yet, but we are allies, aren’t we? So, it’s only natural that we help," Smiled Lyra in response.
"Thank you. We are truly grateful," Replied the Elder as she bowed her head, the other Elders, as well as the Grand Warriors, following her lead.
