- A friend? Oh, do you mean Lord Faren?
- Assuredly. Why, he's been my stalwart companion in all kinds of adventures!
- I know he seems slicker than a Delavan eel, but he's got a good heart.
- I might have been too harsh with the gentleman. Please, will you give him my regards?
- I'll do that right now.
- Truly? So, he did bravely follow you into the bandit cave as he claims? Remarkable. Would you be so kind as to give him my regards?
- I wonder. Your friend Faren is a dashing fellow, but I have heard such stories about him...
- Mere conjecture, I'm sure. Good day.
- I promise I've got something truly epic to tell you! Just speak with Baroness Jasmina first—please? She's right over there!
- Very well.
- I saw it—Kormir strike me if she didn't look impressed! You're a true friend!
- Right, right. Now tell me that important thing, and give me the short version.
- Think nothing of it. So what was it you wanted to tell me?
- Recall our escapade in the bandit cave, and your suspicion that a minister might be pulling their strings? You're in luck, because I've confirmed said suspicion.
- How did you manage that?
- I believe it's Minister Zamon! I was out with a, ah, lady friend, and I saw him leaving the woods near Gibson Portage. Alone! And most suspiciously!
- Those woods are infested with ruffians and criminals. You're certain he was alone?
- Certain enough to testify! He was dressed for a dinner party and sauntering through the woods like he was at a ball. Might that help your investigation?
- It definitely does. Thanks, Faren. I'll find you later.
- I'm confident, old friend, that you'll see the dog Zamon get his comeuppance!
- Indeed, he will.
- Oh, hello. I don't believe I've had the pleasure. I am Lady Madeline Zamon.
- I believe you were at Lord Faren's party, were you not?
- Most excellent to meet you. I presume you are Minister Zamon's sister?
- Pardon me a moment—I must depart.
- Yes, I was! A delightful gala. Before the bandits, of course. I do not get a chance to attend many events like that...or this, come to think of it. It's a little overwhelming for me.
- Are you new to the city?
- Not specifically. My brother Julius and I were born here, but I've moved to the countryside to aid Mother. Do you know the Zamon estate?
- Minister Julius Zamon is your brother? You must be proud of him.
- Yes, but I wish that...ah, forgive me. I shan't burden you with my worries. Our mother is in poor health and I am concerned for her.
- Not to be crass, but I heard tell you and he had a fight earlier. May I ask why?
- It sounds as if your relationship is a little strained.
- I'm sorry to tell you this, but I have reason to believe your brother is a traitor.
- Gods, I knew it would come to this! He was visiting mother when a strange man came by. Julius gave him some papers, but he wouldn't say what they were, even when I asked.
- Do go on.
- It got worse. Julius left more packages at our mother's house for suspicious characters to pick up. I came here to confront him, but he refused to discuss it and stormed off.
- Would you be willing to testify on this matter at a trial?
- A trial? Oh, Julius, what have you done? May Kormir guide and Dwayna protect me—yes, I will testify. I cannot allow Julius to dishonor the family, or disrupt Mother any further.
- Thank you, my lady. You are doing a great service to all Divinity's Reach.
- Did that cretinous cook tell you that? It's sheer gossip, nothing more! Why, I should—I'm sorry. Please ignore that outburst. I fear I need a moment to collect my thoughts.
- I apologize, Lady. I'll talk to you later.
- A traitor? That can't be. He wouldn't...no. I'd like to believe he wouldn't, but...
- I beg you, Lady, tell me what you know. Lives could be at stake!
- I heard you and he had a fight earlier. Do you mind telling me what that was about?
- Is there something you're not telling me?
- Pardon me a moment. I must depart.
- Lives? What about my mother's life? What if she found out her only son was a traitor? What then?
- We must consider the greater good, my lady.
- I think she would be proud her daughter helped to save lives.
- Why, yes. He and I were born here, but while he does business with the Ministry, I moved to the countryside to aid mother.
