No thanks. Not much need for heightened security at the monastery. Well, most of the time anyway.

You can get as cozy as you like, but I don't think that'll lower the price on your head.

Couldn't hurt. People trust you. They trust the folks you run with. I could use a little trust in my life.

So you're hoping this newfound trust will trick more people into lending you money. Yeah, count me out. You know fighting debt with debt won't work, right?

Eh, just as well. If you mess up leading the Alliance, that plan's a bust anyway. So count me out, pal.

I was born to an offshoot of House Riegen. When my Crest manifested, I was accepted into the ruling bloodline. That's all there is to it.

Nice try, but I'm not buying it. House Riegan produces dukes and leads the whole of the Alliance.

I see your mind was just as pure when you were a kid as it is now. How'd you even cross paths with her?

As the legitimate heir of a minor noble house, I got a pretty decent glimpse into high society.
