“But, due to your brazen methods, we have to act fast; it’s unlikely that the Bloodgraves will still be in the capital come tomorrow’s night. It’s doubtful that they know exactly what is going on, but they know something is happening. And if they have deep ties with a Stranger cult, then they know their only hope for survival may be rebellion. The Bloodgraves are a strong house due to the size of their lands, but if we manage to nip this in the bud, then the patriarch's extended family are unlikely to support their cause. Whatever we do here, we must do it fast.”
“Woah, so we’re going to be saving the entire country?!” Marie excitedly blurts out, causing Beneger to make a sour face, “That’s awesome! I had no idea the stake would get high so fast!”
“The pacing tends to be fast around here,” The Lord Inquisitor acquiesces.
“Please do not interrupt my father,” Alyssa whispers to Marie, well, she tries to whisper, but her monotone voice keeps her voice from falling too low. An issue she only picks up when outside of a mission.
“He just finished talking, that’s the perfect time for an excited exclamation!”
Alyssa blinks, “Is it?” She asks, genuinely curious.
“Alright!” You exclaim, but not excitedly, instead with a more mature descriptive word like determinedly, “What [i]are[/i] our options here?” You ask.
“We contact your parents and surround the estate with the man-at-arms they’ve raised to deal with the riots.” The Lord Inquisitor says immediately.
You feel a gut reaction to scream “NO!” And deny this, but you manage to stop yourself. You see the merits of this, sure it would lead to a dramatic duel like Marie wants, but the Bloodgraves barely keep any guards, and certainly not enough to fight hundreds of the Royal Guard. All it would take is you having a rather uncomfortable conversation you’ve been running from.
“Or we could interrogate the Stranger you’ve captured and deal with the Heaven Society first and foremost. The Bloodgraves may pose a threat to the Kingdom, but we are not protectors of the Kingdom; we are protectors of the Goddess’ world.” Beneger says.
Another good point, while your noblesse oblige demands you have a duty to the Kingdom, technically, you have other obligations too. You know more about this world than perhaps you ever wished to know, and that means you understand the danger that the Heaven Society poses. Even if they are just a bunch of losers like the ones you’ve seen so far, losers with the power to destroy the world at their fingertips is a frightening combination.
