We have been forced to take refuge inside the palace, exactly as Claude wanted.

And now comes the siege. When do you think they'll send over an envoy?
link Sylvain volume_up
It'll be hilarious if it turns out they really do want to occupy the capital.
link Annette volume_up
I seriously doubt that's what they want, but maybe we should send word to the western front, just in case?
link Dimitri volume_up
That's not a bad idea. If we are willing to lose a little ground over there, we should be able to spare some troops.

And perhaps it is time to alert the other lords of the Kingdom as well...
link Dedue volume_up
I have a report, Your Majesty.
link Dimitri volume_up
What is it? Has Claude sent his envoy?
link Dedue volume_up
No. The Federation army appears to have withdrawn.
link Annette volume_up
Wait, what? There's no way they'd do that!
link Annette volume_up
They almost had the entire capital surrounded! All they had to do was keep fighting just a little longer!
link Dedue volume_up
Their camps are already deserted. They seem to have left for the port in Fraldarius.
link Gustave volume_up
Their retreat appears to have been a hasty one. They abandoned quite a significant amount of supplies at their camps.
link Sylvain volume_up
So what's their game? Are they trying to make us think they've pulled out so they can lure us into a trap?
link Dimitri volume_up
They were already in a position to win without such artifice. I haven't the slightest idea what this is meant to accomplish.

Something must have happened in Leicester. That is the only reasonable explanation.
