"It's true that no reinforcements will arrive at the Royal Court within ten days, but my Imperial Guards can definitely hold out for a much longer time.
"Erelado, I'm giving you one last chance.
"Withdraw your troops, and I... will name you as my heir."
After hearing the words of the Elf King, Erelado burst into laughter.
"Father, your Imperial Guards hide inside the Royal Court and dare not face me in direct combat. I don't need to force an assault on the Royal Court or damage the World Tree...
"No Elf understands the military system of Snowland better than I do.
"I have already taken control of all the roads and strategic locations surrounding the Royal Court. Any Elf who tries to come to the aid of the Royal Court will be wiped out by me.
"I will wait right here.
"Waiting for you to change your mind.
"As long as you hand over your throne to me in a legitimate way, I guarantee the safety of you and all the Elves."
