And a grudge lasting a millennium wasn't something that could be let go with a few words.
"Still, just saying it outright like this—are you sure that's a good idea?" Illiya asked, speechless.
Seoryun shrugged, clearly indifferent. "It's fine. Doesn't affect me much. Compared to other countries, I'm already being pretty polite. I only place spies on the outskirts, and they're only there to report if any major movements happen."
"Remember the royal knights from the Yaguk Theocracy at the city gates?"
"Sending knights to the Nubilian Union at this point in time can only be about the war three months from now. It's all just early deployment. And let's be honest, they probably got intel from their own spies too, right?"
Illiya was stunned by how naturally Seoryun spoke about this.
He didn't know whether to be more shocked that spies were involved—or that war preparations had already started.
Help. It was happening this early?
