My role within the Galra Empire was unpleasant and I admit rather contemptible, but it allowed me the ability to eventually help the Paladins find the blue lion and contact the Blade of Marmora. It is good that they were able to help you as well. I was unaware there were other Alteans aside from Princess Allura and her advisor.

[Probably something she has heard a fair amount]

It was. The Paladins didn't even know of the Blade of Marmora before they met me.
