[Haspen]

"Hmm? Well, I believe that local lords are allowed to arm their own militia which is then stationed in major cities... few hundred men, at most. Reich garrisons often outnumber them five to one, if not more."

[Twinwolf]

"C'mon Cecil. Who knows what's been there?"

[Mopsy]

Arnold nods.
"Probably not enough for a revolution, then. I've been thinking about what kind of army our adversaries could be trying to build against us. How much do we know about this Lady Sheila? Is she an outlaw or living openly? I'm sorry to bother you with these questions, sir, but there was no time to study the politics of this place before we set sail."

[Haspen]

"Lady Sheila is the very granddaughter of the last Troian monarch. Are you alright, Arnold? I'm certain you know this as well, after all you were right there with us when Chief Advisor explained the possible connection between her and Governor-General. "

[Chevaleresse]

Siegfried looks like someone stabbed him in the back, and makes a strangled noise.

"Arnold...!"

[Haspen]

Captain paused for a moment to look at Siegfried.

"She is well-liked by those who have nostalgic dreams about the past. And she isn't an outlaw - we wouldn't be calling her 'Lady' if she were."

[Mopsy]

"Lady Sheila is the very granddaughter of the last Troian monarch. Are you alright, Arnold? I'm certain you know this as well, after all you were right there with us when Chief Advisor explained the possible connection between her and Governor-General. "

"I'm quite alright, sir. I remember what the Advisor said. The intent of my question was to ask about the Lady's character and current standing in society. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear."

Captain paused for a moment to look at Siegfried.

"She is well-liked by those who have nostalgic dreams about the past. And she isn't an outlaw - we wouldn't be calling her 'Lady' if she were."

"I see. Thanks for humoring me, sir."

Siegfried looks like someone stabbed him in the back, and makes a strangled noise.

"Arnold...!"

"What's the matter, Siegfried? No-one can be above suspicion in this investigation. Not if they have the necessary means and an obvious motive."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Mmphmppmph mppmhmpmphhmph!"

[Twinwolf]

"This is the point where, if you weren't wearing heavy armor, I'd drag you to your feet. But you are, so do it yourself."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

So Cecil does.

"-it's just a bit of dirt! We've faced threats that could scare war-hardened men of action!"

[Chevaleresse]

"Still, it wounds my sensibilities to hear such accusations tossed about at a lady. Not to mention that such thoughts should be shared in private; you never know who is in the pockets of which house..."

[Twinwolf]

"Good luck running from, or for that matter stabbing, illness."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"The only reason you think that's impossible is because nobody has ever tried!"

[Mopsy]

"I guess a question can be understood as half an accusation. You're doubtlessly the one more familiar with sensitive business of this sort, so I'll take your word for it."

[CrimsonEon]

Jann's ear twitched, and his eyes narrowed at Arnold and the Captain from his position underneath the nearby broad-leaved tree.
