"So, the reason you decided to have La Montagne under your control is for economic incentives? Or is there another incentive behind this entire 'retaking control' situation?" Aderlinde replied.     

ELR “You May be aware that La Montagne is our ethnic homeland before our ancestors were run into exile by the colonialists and Christians in the 16th century, we have a historical right to those lands”     

"Fair enough of a reason, I suppose, although it's still a bit suspicious. Who used to rule La Montagne after¹ your "ancestors were run into exile" anyway?" Aderlinde replied after a sigh.
