"Countess Brandelis, please have mercy and save my people! The Kingdom of Ryder is truly incapable of protecting its citizens in this disaster; please help us!" An elderly gentleman, disregarding his identity as the king of a nation, pleaded tearfully and bitterly to Perfikot.
The other guests surrounding them were surprised by the old king's willingness to lower his dignity, yet none of them expressed disdain or laughter towards him.
In the face of an apocalyptic crisis, if one cannot solve it on their own, seeking help is a very effective option.
The biggest reason they were all attending Perfikot's birthday banquet was that they were also here to seek help, wasn't it?
It's just that this old king in front of them was less concerned about those superficial honors compared to others.
