POBee 160.1 - A Beero's Trial
As Belissar spoke with the First of the Fifth, Niobee suddenly flew before him.
“King! Beero doing something dangerous again. Should go?”
Belissar nearly started walking towards the battle meadow shortcut before he caught himself. His face scrunched up and he crossed his arms. Eventually, he took a deep breath.
“…no, I’ll stay here. Let the Second of the Sixth know to go and wait on standby. You should go and help her if she needs it, if you need my permission like with Metsaitti then you have it.”
“Ok!”
Belissar took another deep breath as Niobee flew off and resisted the urge to check in on Beero with his tower sight. He had just resolved to let the bees take more risks in the name of growth, so he could not go running off in a panic every time one was in danger. In this case, Beero and the wounded bees had taken risks before…and came out of it stronger than ever. If they were doing it again, then he had to allow it. It was exactly what his Tower needed right now.
He decided to trust in Beero to pull through as she already had. He decided to trust in the Second of the Sixth to take care of her should it turn out badly. And he decided to trust in Niobee to render any assistance they needed and to call him if they needed his help specifically.
He would trust his bees as they trusted him.
So, he did his absolute best to focus on the First of the Fifth’s report and put the risky situation out of his mind.
