# Thank you, Isobelle. **Quest Group**: 20965709 **Steps**: 22 ## Summary Of course, Lady Norma. Oh, have you heard about my engagement to Geoffrey, the eldest son of House Erne? When we wed, Geoffrey Erne will become Geoffrey Encarotia. Consider it a business merger of sorts. What? That's utter nonsense! It's not just any house, but the prestigious House Erne! Nothing's impossible in Calpheon for those with the privilege of wealth. I suppose I have my father to thank for that. ## Walkthrough ### Step 1 - **Objective**: Thank you, Isobelle. - **Summary**: Of course, Lady Norma. Oh, have you heard about my engagement to Geoffrey, the eldest son of House Erne? When we wed, Geoffrey Erne will become Geoffrey Encarotia. Consider it a business merger of sorts. What? That's utter nonsense! It's not just any house, but the prestigious House Erne! Nothing's impossible in Calpheon for those with the privilege of wealth. I suppose I have my father to thank for that. ### Step 2 - **Reward**: Well, as sole inheritor of House Encarotia, I trust you'll conduct yourself appropriately. The provisions should be covered by your surplus profits, shouldn't they? ### Step 3 - **Objective**: Isobelle, are you serious? - **Summary**: It's been a decade since House Encarotia and House Leight formed the Xian Alliance. I have learned much from my work in the past 10 years. I've grown quite a lot from it, so it's high time I gave back. It's unbecoming, Isobelle, to engage in actions beneath one's station. How can a house involved in loan sharking also provide free relief? ### Step 4 - **Reward**: T-truly? My deepest gratitude. I shall indeed ensure the safety of our citizens! ### Step 5 - **Objective**: Keep listening to Isobelle. - **Summary**: Haha. Mind you, they're merely a new recruit for the time being. But I'm sure that will change very soon. Oh, what were you talking about? It sounded like something about food. *Sighs* He requested more military provisions to swell the ranks of soldiers at this critical time. Without seeking approval from parliament. Really? Then we, House Encarotia, will provide those supplies. Is that alright with you? ### Step 6 - **Reward**: Is that so? You've done well. Truly. As for our guest here, I didn't realize I was playing host to such a remarkable individual. ### Step 7 - **Objective**: Listen to Isobelle. - **Summary**: Yes, all thanks to your care and concern. And, thanks to this adventurer's efforts. I've returned after gaining dominance over Heidel's markets. The issue with the Black Crystal deliveries has been resolved. The Black Crystal business is House Leight's matter, right? You will be free of worry for a while. ### Step 8 - **Reward**: I heard you went to establish a new branch of our Xian Merchant Guild in Serendia. How did it go? ### Step 9 - **Objective**: Isobelle? - **Summary**: It's been a while, Lady Norma. These two are my acquaintances, may I join? Of course, Isobelle. How have you been? Alfrid, bring out some fresh food. Yes, Your Ladyship. I'll get it ready. ### Step 10 - **Reward**: L-Lady Isobelle? Wait, you two are acquainted? ### Step 11 - **Reward**: Aren't you the one who supports those in need? Why would you turn your back on our pitiable soldiers? ### Step 12 - **Objective**: Listen to the conversation. - **Summary**: You must have heard the news of Jordine, but the situation on the front lines is worsening. To protect our citizens, we need to recruit more troops, but we're severely short on supplies. You are my only hope for immediate aid. I implore you, lend your strength for the sake of the people of Calpheon! ... My apologies, but I cannot take on your request. ### Step 13 - **Reward**: Provisions? I believe I've sent the exact quantity agreed upon for this delivery, haven't I? ### Step 14 - **Objective**: Valks, I think this is the right time to mention it. - **Summary**: Hahaha! Indeed. Everyone has different views on matters. But judging by your words, I believe we're in the right place. I'm sure you will understand our current situation. Would you supply the Trina Knights with military provisions? ### Step 15 - **Reward**: Also, I'm curious as to why House Encarotia, who jointly runs the Xian Merchant Guild, is against the relief... ### Step 16 - **Objective**: Listen to Norma. - **Summary**: Indeed, the proceedings of the Kalis Parliament are of utmost importance. There's a relief effort in place, sanctioned by the kingdom itself. But that's simply not enough. The lives of the common folk grow more destitute with each passing day. ### Step 17 - **Reward**: We are both hoping for the good of Calpheon. We each simply choose to go about it in our own way. ### Step 18 - **Objective**: Listen to Valks. - **Summary**: Hmm... Does this sort of thing happen frequently? I don't understand why he has a problem helping those in need... ### Step 19 - **Reward**: No need to mention it. I regret the unpleasantness you saw earlier. ### Step 20 - **Reward**: (You sit around the table with Norma Leight and Wolfgang Valks.) ### Step 21 - **Dialogue**: (A feast, lovingly made from the grains of the Northern Wheat Plantation.) ### Step 22 - **Reward**: (Isobelle has already left. Follow her instructions and move the supplies.)
