*Gasp*
Yur-!

Shh...

...Thanks to the confusion caused by the
motley crew you sent to my rescue, I was
able to make off with quite a haul.

Well done, Sebastian, my dear.

At last...I'll teach those imperial idiots a lesson
for daring to look down on my family...

You do have to give Leviathan's Claw
some credit, though. They've really got
a nice collection of weapons.

...This should also please
those excitable extremists.

With us on their side, it'll be
a new day dawning for this
empire... Heh, heh, heh.

And with the coming sun, this flower of
the nobility shall bloom once again!

Those grimy-faced commoners
won't know what hit them!

They want to overthrow the empire...?

You said once that the emperor
is the one who makes their noble
ranks official, right?

But... If they get rid of
the empire, she won't
be a noble anymore.

Perhaps she has eyes for the throne, herself.

So? What do ya propose doin about it?

Once hired, a guild's pretty
much limited to doin' the job
and collectin' a pay check.

But do we just pretend we didn't hear
their plans to stage a coup...?

Not ta worry, Princess.
Those extremists won't amount
ta much trouble at all.

They'll cause a bit of a panic
if they're lucky, and then the
Knights'll come down on 'em.

You really think so...?

Why not just pick up your
reward, and skedaddle?

Sure it's all right for a former knight
captain to say that sort of thing?

Hey, you're lookin' at a strict utilitarian, here.

Well, I think we shouldn't waste any
time and report this to the Knights.

What do you think, chief?

I'm at a loss...
