Each kingdom in the Mortal Realm, no matter how peaceful it appeared on the surface, had internal power struggles and conflicts.
However, there was an exception to this rule—the kingdom of Malentansium.
Due to the Night King's control over the skounae, it was widely accepted that Malentansium had no such internal conflicts. After all, there was never any news or big events that happened in Malentansium that would lead one to believe such power struggles existed.
But, according to Valga, Malentansium was not exempt. If that was the case, what the other kingdoms knew about Malentansium could no longer be taken as an indisputable fact.
