Alliance arrival

Hana stood in front of the main building, awaiting the approaching group with a relaxed yet authoritative demeanor. From experience, Hana knew they were important people, though to her, they were merely guests with limited influence within the alliance. Her task was simple: to welcome them, guide them, and later relay the results of the alliance's internal meeting—all under Lein's direction.

Her gaze then landed on a woman with black hair walking toward her. A flowing red dress followed each graceful movement. Her skin was smooth, nearly flawless, and her almond-shaped eyes radiated a firmness that reminded Hana of the mysterious allure typical of Chinese culture. Behind her, two authoritative figures flanked her, both appearing middle-aged but exuding an aura as intimidating as any Tier-3 ruler Hana had ever encountered.
