Synopsis

Ellon Manasil confronts Evan Brisen, revealing he knows about the second prince's interest in the first prince, and accuses him of orchestrating a mercenary scheme with the elves. Manasil also explains that a war has erupted due to a dispute involving the Brishen Emporium and wheat monopolization leading to starvation for citizens. He reveals Luka was involved in a previous incident connected to the current conflict and begs for Renon Brisen's assistance to resolve the issue. Renon agrees to help but clarifies he is doing so not for the elves themselves.
