Those words incite a cautious silence from Orcelito. The Queen is too vague for his liking, but he understands her message on the surface level. He might even agree if he knew more, as he already bears resentment against the Tree. But personal feelings aside, they are faced with a new obstacle.
After meeting Blue Rose, he assumed the forest had some sort of reliance on the Guardian – the way people rely on their ruling lord for protection and prosperity. If the Queen’s words are to be accepted, that does not appear to be the case. In fact, considering what they have witnessed so far of the ant colony, it appears to be a budding empire.
He withholds a scoff under his breath. Absurd, to think of insects creating a separatist movement! Did this come about because the Guardian is perceived as weak?
No. Now is not the time to worry about specifics. This does not bode well for them. They should leave soon.
Orcelito can’t begin to understand the worth of magic. To him, it is beyond price. He looks to Saber, waiting for her to make an offer.
Don’t worry about posting order, everyone. Just hop in if you want - let’s get this wrapped up!
