Departure

JACOB

In spring news from neighboring countries started spreading throughout the capital. Before and after lessons, as well as during breaks, the main topic of conversation revolved around the war in Hildstadt.

"We should be supporting the royalists. One successful revolution can inspire another revolution somewhere else. You wouldn't want Prandia to fall to ruin too, right?"

"But our relations with Hildstadt weren't all that great even before the rebellion. We should support the rebels to spread our influence and get better trade terms."

"We should stay out of it and trade with both sides. Why spill our own blood in someone else's war? That way no matter who wins, we'll profit anyway."
