Jacob and Maria were playing catch with a small piece of stone to pass the time.
"How long do you think they will be in there?"
Jacob caught the stone in his hands and shrugged his shoulder.
"Who knows? The thing that I'm most curious about is what sorts of things they will find in there. Think about where this place is located. We are in the middle of an infinitely vast jungle brimming with leviathan creatures where the only way to survive is by constantly fighting or hiding. Nobody with a sane mind would actively hunt this place out unless there was something hidden here that makes the dangerous trip worth it."
"Not only that, but Lidia is also supposedly the queen of this place. Wait, does that mean I'm a princess?"
"Cmon, you're not a princess."
Maria caught the stone and stared at him confused.
"Hm? Why not?"
"Princesses are supposed to be elegant and peaceful. You're crueler and more energetic like a war general."
Maria's eyes glimmered in the dim light.
