An Incomplete Faith

Recently, there have been rumors that Heidel has been procuring funds for their armies to gain independence from Calpheon. Where these funds came from is a matter of much debate, but one thing is for sure. There is no possible way that Heidel could have procured those funds themselves, especially after losing the war. You're right. This... This would be impossible without the support of the Xian Merchant Guild. Despite the circumstances, I do not wish to be suspicious of them. Houses Leight and Encarotia are bound to one another through the Xian Alliance. On the other hand, think about why Lady Isobelle has yet to return. Think about this very carefully. Did you actually see any cuts or wound yourself? The House Leight is looking to your potential with high hopes. However, if the Xian Merchant Guild is ever found to have supported the Heidel rebellion... Do you think you can really trust Isobelle?

Think about the reason why Lady Isobelle hasn't returned. Think very carefully about this.

Ever since Isobelle said she wasn't returning... I knew things would have gone the way they have.
