Listen.

... Bobby Lauren, as ever, trying to get away again.
I believe you have enough money to pay us back by now.
Was exploiting the villagers not enough?
Going on to brutally suppress the revolutionaries like that...
Do you really think you have the right
to criticize us Calpheonians acting like innocent victims?

Quest Walkthrough
Step 1
In addition to being accused of oppressing Heidel,
I am being framed with this fake document. Isn't this too much?
Step 2
Objective Listen.
Summary ... Bobby Lauren NPC Knowledge, as ever, trying to get away again.
I believe you have enough money to pay us back by now.
Was exploiting the villagers not enough?
Going on to brutally suppress the revolutionaries like that...
Do you really think you have the right
to criticize us Calpheonians acting like innocent victims?
Step 3
I have never exploited the villagers. Tax collecting is a legitimate practice!
Since when did Calpheon become an apostle of justice?
Step 4
Objective Keep listening to the story.
Summary If this is not considered exploitation,
then neither is Heidel's tribute to Calpheon.
The people of Serendia would be outraged
if they saw this instruction you wrote.
There will be an uprising in the whole region
and Heidel will be thrown into great disorder.
Step 5
I told you, that document is being used to frame me.
If you intend to threaten me with such nonsense, give up now before you embarrass yourself.
Step 6
Objective Keep listening to the story.
Summary The villagers' uprising will have already occurred
by the time we determine whether this document is false or not.
How naive of you, Bobby Lauren NPC Knowledge...
Step 7
Quest Text The Grand Chamberlain deserves our utmost loyalty.
I hope he recognizes my devotion someday!
Step 8
Objective Bobby Lauren NPC Knowledge's Loyalty
Summary Let me introduce myself.
I'm Bobby Lauren NPC Knowledge, Head of the League of Merchants in Heidel.
Though I asked for help from Calpheon
due to an unexpected incident,
the Grand Chamberlain will understand where my loyalty lies.
You don't need to understand what I'm saying,
just deliver that letter safely.
Step 9
Objective Jordine's Ring
Summary There is a ring greatly treasured by Sir Jordine NPC Knowledge.
I don't know his family background, but it might an heirloom of some sort.
It is rumored that just a few days ago the Chamberlain lost the ring
when he went hunting around the swamp lands of the Mercianne Farm.
It is said that
Sir Jordine became weak and fainted after losing it.
This story does not make any sense...
How can losing a ring make someone that sick?
Step 10
Objective Jordine's Necklace
Summary Have you heard the rumor about
Cultists stealing one of Sir Jordine NPC Knowledge's beloved necklaces?
In my opinion, it's just a fabrication
to induce Heidel forces to be sent somewhere, nothing more.
Though the Cultists and Rebels have expanded their influence,
neither are powerful enough to steal the Chamberlain's treasure.
But the rumor doesn't go away.
What's clear is that something bad is happening in Heidel.
Step 11
Hahaha, yes! I will make sure to tell the Grand Chamberlain of your deeds!
I'm sure this isn't the last we'll be seeing of each other! Hahaha!
Step 12
I don't know where you hail from, but if you help me resolve this,
I will personally vouch for you!
Step 13
I'm giving you this chance because of Lady Jarette.
Don't like it? Well, too bad. You're out of options.
Step 14
Objective I promised to help Lady Jarette, so probably?
Summary Very well. Head to the Lynch farm and collect the merchant league's debt.
In return, I'll waive this month's interest for him.
Isobelle! You know that's impossible!
Murana Lynch NPC Knowledge is dead! They can't pay off the debt!
Step 15
I can't bear to watch this any longer.
Are you really going to help this pauper?
Step 16
Objective Help you how?
Summary Y-you're the savior of Velia!
I'm sure Chief Igor gave you quite a reward!
Perhaps you could part with some small sum of Silver?
I'll return it all and then some!
Step 17
W-were Lady Jarette here, she would have insisted on aiding me!
Please, I beg of you!
Step 18
You're helping the Grand Chamberlain, right?
Then help me first! I lead the merchants here!
Step 19
It's been a while since I've known you.. Adventurer.
A true friend shares the pain of another, isn't that right?
Step 20
Adventurer, haven't seen you in a while.
The Grand Chamberlain was talking about you...
Step 21
I'm Bobby Lauren NPC Knowledge, the Head of the Heidel League of Merchants.
...Perhaps this is not the best time.
Step 22
Have you seen what Grace made? I must make it fancier than hers!
Oh, is it time already? I must've kept Crona waiting.
Step 23
Have you seen what Grace made? I must make it fancier than hers!
Oh, is it time already? I must've kept Crona waiting.
