"Oh… Such a bright young lady despite your small stature. You're absolutely right; we do good business with the imperial family and the people of Venefique. Would you like some more sweets?"
Über, nodding repeatedly in admiration of Inglis, offered more treats.
"I'll have some!" Inglis gratefully accepted the offer.
"So, the people who were brought here along with the princess were people belonging to her faction, correct? In a word, political prisoners? Many of them must be influential within the country, so selling them to the Highland might be a smarter move compared to executing them and risking backlash or imprisoning them and leaving room for potential retaliation."
"Exactly. Moreover, acquiring Artifacts to protect the nation and its people is far more beneficial than mere executions. Another way to put it is that they sacrificed themselves for the benefit of their country. It's quite commendable. Plus, our firm share in the profits, so it's advantageous for us as well."
"… So, you're saying that those who were brought here are going to lose their lives?"
Inglis responded with a bright smile. This meant that if they were to save them, they had to act quickly.
Princess Meltina was taken to be transformed into a Hyrule Menace, so she likely wouldn't be executed immediately and might survive as a Hyrule Menace at worst. However, the fate of the others was uncertain.
