[k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Ophelia It's coming along well. Even now, it continues to grow larger in its garden, away from any who might observe or interfere. [k] ＠Ophelia Since there is no opposing faction in this Scandinavian Lostbelt, there should be nothing to interfere with its growth. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow Faction?[sr]I must confess I am unfamiliar with that word. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow I suppose we do hear the occasional lone wolf howl, but that is of no consequence. If anything, it helps to pass the time. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow Still...I suppose if they were to form a pack, that could be somewhat troublesome. Don't you agree, Ophelia? [k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Ophelia ...Yes, I do. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow My world[line 2]my Scandinavia[line 2]is a land where peace reigns far and wide. There has never been conflict among its people. Not once. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow The wild beasts do devour their prey,[sr]of course, but that is as far as it goes. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow Pointless conflict is a foreign concept to man and beast alike...as is resentment. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow The worst that ever happens is a single wolf's howling.[sr]Don't you think? [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Ophelia I do. Under your rule, this world of Scandinavia has become one of the great embodiments of peace. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow Hehe, the way you say that, Ophelia, it sounds as though there are other worlds that have achieved similar peace. How adorable. [k] ＠Ophelia ...Surely you jest. [k] ＠Ophelia ...This Lostbelt's stability is[sr]of vital importance, Your Majesty. [k] ＠Ophelia It is the key to growing our tree.[sr]All you need do is continue ruling as you always have. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow Hmm. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow You truly are a selfless young woman,[sr]aren't you, Ophelia Phamrsolone?

[k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow I believe you called it a compass...? I see. So the hospitality of my ice castle is not enough for you. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow Surely you haven't forgotten? Every bit of snow and ice blanketing this world is a part of me. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow As I preside over all that is pure white, nothing can elude me.

[k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow I can hear the howl of the wind, the symphony of leaves overlapping...and, of course, the words of humans. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow That goes for the crew of this Shadow Border as well. As I speak, they are erecting a Bounded Field to keep the giants away. [k] ＠Queen of Ice and Snow ...How touching.
