"But today's visit changed a lot of things," he continued, his tone sharpening slightly. "First of all, Os's real identity… It's Asmond from the Magus Council."
June's jaw dropped. "What!? Him again!?"
"Yeah," Arlon confirmed. "Unless someone went to extreme lengths to frame him, I'm sure of it."
June frowned. "But that means he knew we weren't anti-saviors from the start. He knows we are saviors from the banquet... No, before that, we have encountered him on our first day in Kelta."
June was right. Asmond had approached Lady Rael in Kelta when the players had just arrived.
"Exactly," Arlon said.
She shook her head in confusion. "Then why didn't he expose us? Why just let us walk away?"
"Because it wouldn't change anything," Arlon explained. "Even if he killed us, we'd just revive. And if he took us hostage for no reason, the government would have to retaliate."
June's eyes widened as she processed his words.
