Hake Stone did not doubt the weight of Amberser's words, but he still couldn't understand why he, of all people, should go to Laine.
"What exactly do you want to do? What kind of ceremony requires me to preside over it?"
"I've discussed it with Withered Rose, and we want to end the rule of the Royal Family of Ryan in the most formal manner possible. But the Laine People definitely won't take this ceremony seriously, not to mention that the knowledgeable ones are probably nearly all dead. Even if there are some who know the various details, they won't put their hearts into it."
Amberser understood human nature well. The Laine People held various forms of disdain for the Undead. Now they were just barely tolerating the emergence of Withered Rose. It was impossible to expect them to manage the ceremony properly. Perhaps they would opt for simplicity, conducting it in the most perfunctory and concise manner, finishing with just a few words.
