A Strained Alliance

There was no way that Lady Isobelle could have been wounded at the Castle Ruins. I was right there next to her, protecting her. Thinking about Lady Isobelle's wound made me lose my train of thought. This is all my fault. I've also left you in a difficult situation. The trading rights for the Black Crystal extractions of Keplan must have gone over to the Leight Merchant Guild. Do you know who the owner of those trading rights were? It was none other than the Xian Merchant Guild. We've fallen head first over House Leight's trickery. Merchants are the most dangerous when they offer acts of goodwill. You look like you're very angry. What are you gonna do? Confront Elina Leight?

It's your choice to believe our story or not. But, I've only told the truth.

[Character name], you came as expected. That's quite the look you're wearing on your face. And thanks to you, the plans of House Leight have all, miserably... failed. All that has occurred was brought on by the spiteful will of those who no longer are a part of this world. Yes, it is true. It was us, House Leight, who had placed Lady Isobelle in such a dire predicament.
