The guide swallowed nervously after hearing Supreme Ruler Dena's claim.

"Are you going to call me a liar next?" Supreme Ruler Dena narrowed her gaze at him.
"N-No…" The guide hastily shook his head before continuing, "Let's talk about your destination. The Weeping Ossuary, correct? It's a little far from here, but that's not the issue. The currents have been rough and nearly unpredictable for several thousand years now, so only an experienced guide would be able to take you there safely. Fortunately for you, I am an experienced guide."
"As for your rates… Since you're the Supreme Ruler, I'll give you a discount. How does thirty thousand Grand Bone Calx sound? Or three Supreme Bone Calx?"

Supreme Ruler Dena fell silent.
