Devaguea had been impressed by the quality of items from the enemy ruler, if nothing else. While Camilla couldn't hit QUITE as hard with the new halberd as she could with the greataxe, the ability to deal with ranged opponents more than made up for it. Add in the fact that Anke had finally put on some armor, the Peacock Bandit's armor no less after it had been resized for her, and he was rather pleased with the results of the war. He was now the undisputed lord of the Northern River Kingdom, and once they had finished expanding east to fill in the lands against Numeria, he was already making plans to start expanding south, around Mivon. Even better, he had found a couple pages of spell knowledge in the stores of the city merchants, and had purchased them, filling in holes in his spell selection.<br/><br/>Then Nordri had notified him about the secret area, and they were now staring at the crystal grotto with at least a bit of appreciation. After a moment, though, Devaguea cast Fly on Nordri, and let the rogue collect it. He could FEEL Amvarean and Anke's approval behind him, both women having been much more attentive and protective lately. Not that he was complaining.
