"I don't think this is reasonable, My lord," Semiramis said, following closely behind me.

When I declared that I could handle the Heroes of Kastoria alone, everyone had been stunned. The nobles, in particular, seemed to be restraining themselves from outright calling me arrogant. They looked at me as if I embodied hubris itself.

"Forgive me, Your Excellency, but you have never met them before, I assume? I do believe you have significant fighting experience and strength, but fighting several heroes at the same time is dangerous even for you," Semiramis cautioned.
