It was peaceful when King Urlius was made King, The Zardonians where allied to the Jamesians(Zarats closest ally) and the Ssatu vassals where obedient as the Astart Empire had no practical way to get to Zarat. Zarat was peaceful for most of King Urlius' reign but lately Astarte had made King Jemesis of Zardonia attack the Zaratians and to get the Ssatu to rebel in Xerxesian Chronicles: The Sword of Ahura-Mazda but Xerxes and the Zaratian General Regius defeated both forces and installed new loyal leaders to replace to rebellious ones.

He now knows that if Astarte can influence nearby allies to turn on him.  Then it would be easy for a mercenary army loyal to Astarte to manifest itself in his Kingdom's borders. He is afraid of this but hides it behind a smile and deals with it by being around his wife Yuufia.
