After the banquet had ended, Chu Guang received numerous gifts.
Although most of the Survivor Settlements gifted these to him personally, Chu Guang accepted them on behalf of the Alliance.
"…This sword was my elder brother's sidearm; the former king gifted it to him when he was a month old, and he has carried it with him ever since he could remember. He asked me to tell you that the Honey Badger Kingdom is willing to be the blade of the Alliance, and the enemies of the Alliance are our enemies."
Afni handed the treasured sword to Chu Guang, gazing intently at him, and then passed him a shield engraved with the Honey Badger royal family's crest.
"This shield is a gift from my second brother; he insisted I convey his exact words to you, that the Honey Badger Kingdom is willing to be the shield of the Alliance. We will guard against threats from the west, and our friendship will be as solid as steel."
