Outside the throne room of Dritzuut's palace, a group of soldiers was crowding before the entrance. They were staring at the entrance with apprehension. They had heard their sovereign's call, but they couldn't enter the throne room.
The reason was that two beings were blocking the entrance. Two beings that exuded an aura that caused them to not dare charge through.
These two beings were Strah and Korku, the mythical-grade corrupted lord and lady from the Cult of Phobos.
"This is absurd. If the point is to take out this country's ruler, we can carry it out in an instant. Why are we standing guard like this?" Korku complained.
"Because that's our God's order," Strah answered.
"Hah! This is boring. They don't even dare to attack," Korku uttered. "Well. If you ask me, I said God Fear wants to help that outworlder but he doesn't want to make it seem as if he is favoring the outworlder too much. Our God has his pride, after all."
