>>5638014Claude doesn’t look convinced. “It would be great if things worked out that way, and perhaps it’s worth a try, but I’m not holding my breath. In the state the Kingdom is in now, refusing to unite against the Empire is a decision so illogical it forces me to consider Dimitri’s sanity. For a leader like that to still have men willing to follow him into hell tells me that those by his side will abide by the code of Faerghus chivalry even to their deaths. They’ll serve their king, no matter what he tells them, even if it borders on suicidal. Even if they know there’s no hope, they will not undermine or second guess Dimitri by virtue of his rank. If they were not that sort of person, they’d have had the sense to abandon ship or join up with the Faerghus Dukedom by now. I always understood you to be someone not bound by such constraints. Is this really what you want?”
>Perhaps he was right. Still, you’d made your decision, and you intended to stick to it, no matter what came about. “Thank you for all you’ve done for me and my company, Claude.” You bow.Claude nods. “And thank you for all that you’ve done for the Alliance. I’ll allow you to stay in Derdriu for tonight, but I ask that you vacate the city by tomorrow.”
“Claude!” Lysithea jumps in.
“Blair has made it her intention to fight for what could very well be a potential enemy army. Despite my feelings towards her, having her within close proximity of our own army would be irresponsible. I’ll have the gold for the Ordelia job sent to Corrine.”
>Obtained 5000g!“Blair…don’t die out there.” Hilda says. “And don’t let that jerk Dimitri push you around! Come back to us.”
“I believe you’re making an incredibly foolish decision, Blair.” Lysithea says. “Still, this doesn’t change my commitment. After this war is over, I’ll come find you, and we’ll finish off the Agarthans together. If you die before we can accomplish all that we promised, I’ll never forgive you.”
You are escorted out of the castle grounds and brought outside. Claude has given you a day to get your affairs in order before you are made to leave Derdriu. That’s not much time, and you’ll need to begin preparing for the upcoming fight right away.
