Such a situation was simply incredibly terrifying to contemplate.

The absolute worst was a complete rupture.

Violet was still highly dependent on the Mercenary Guild. Because of this, she allowed Halse to sow discord by providing the female knight with asymmetrical information.

She was hoping this would ignite a conflict between the female knight and the elder of the Mercenary Guild.

She felt she was on the brink of achieving her goal when the unexpected actions of the captain of the guard threw her carefully crafted plans out the window.

This blockhead had actually been foolish enough to openly keep an eye on the Mercenary Guild!

Moreover, at the height of provocation when it was clear they intended to leave, he marched all his subordinates to the front doors of the Mercenary Guild to instigate a conflict.

There was no doubt that both parties were standing on the edge of a precipice, risking a complete rupture at any moment if the elder of the Mercenary Guild wanted it so.
