And you're sure?

Very. The Sreng people did indeed attack, but they never broke through Gautier territory.

Meaning the margrave is unharmed. Why, then, was our contact cut off?
link <<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
It's possible someone within the Kingdom is interfering. The margrave suspected as much when his initial envoy never returned.
link <<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
In response he dispatched a slew of messengers, myself included, all on wholly distinct routes. It would appear I'm the only one who arrived safely.

It's good to know my father's safe, but it's starting to sound like we have a big problem on our hands.
link Sylvain volume_up
Like as not, someone's ambushing these messengers as they pass through Blaiddyd lands.

This is bringing back bad memories. It's all too similar to when Count Rowe's convoy was attacked.
link Felix volume_up
The boar suspected Cornelia at the time, and I'm growing ever more inclined to agree with him.
link Felix volume_up
Have you any news from the north? What of the capital? And the king?
link <<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
Nothing at the time of my departure, I'm sorry to report.

Guess there's only one way to find out, then. We should head up there ourselves, Felix.

The margrave would surely send word if something were to happen at the capital.
link <<EMPTY NAME>> volume_up
I imagine we'll have more clarity on the situation in a few days' time.
link Sylvain volume_up
We don't have a few days. You need to act, Felix, and you need to do it now.
link Shez volume_up
We don't have a few days. That's obvious even to me.

Ngh...

But if we move too rashly, the Imperial forces near the fortress will grow wise to our maneuvers.
link Sylvain volume_up
As though any of that'll matter if the king winds up dead.
link Sylvain volume_up
Losing Arianrhod would be the least of our worries then.
link Sylvain volume_up
We'd be trapped in a massive war of succession, and easy pickings for the Empire.
link Felix volume_up
Even at a distance, that man has an uncanny talent for giving me headaches.
link Felix volume_up
Very well. Notify all troops stationed at the fortress, and round up a team of our most elite soldiers. We're heading north.
