*Grahdens: Warlon...it's quite unusual for you to call us all the way out to a place like this.
 	
*Owen: ......
 	
*Warlon: I wanted to discuss something, just the three of us...in absolute secrecy.
 	
*Grahdens: Oh? Is there an issue with the Federation?
 	
*Warlon: I received a message from the Federation government about the Abel Faction...
*Warlon: ...forces we've been fighting. They claim that the Faction is entirely unaffiliated with them.
 	
*Grahdens: I see...
 	
*Warlon: The Abel Faction is currently in rapid decline within the Federation, to the point you could say it's barely keeping it together.
 	
*Warlon: Moreover, you lot seem to have left the Federation's leadership quite shaken up when you defeated Rahnas.
*Warlon: They're purging anyone suspected of having ties to the Faction from positions of authority...
*Warlon: ...and making sure everyone knows exactly what they're doing and why, all in an effort to put the whole matter behind them.
 	
*Grahdens: The Abel Faction did use excessive force to expand its power under Rahnas.
 	
*Grahdens: I suppose with him gone, this was inevitable.
 	
*Owen: ......
 	
*Warlon: That's the Federation's excuse. You might think this is crass of me, but...
*Warlon: ...but I'm inclined to sit back and let them do it.
 	
*Grahdens: Indeed... After all, we have no desire to invade or rule the Federation.
 	
*Owen: Hmph.
 	
*Grahdens: Is that all you wanted to tell us, though?
*Grahdens: I can't say it seems worth calling us out here for.
 	
*Warlon: There's one other matter. Actually, it's the real issue at hand.
*Warlon: It's about Bertz.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho...
 	
*Warlon: He ignored the Federation's wishes, and attempted to obtain the true power of Summoning for himself.
*Warlon: Normally, under ordinary circumstances, he would be tried for his crimes...
*Warlon: ...but due to a certain, shall we say, situation...those in power have decided not to speak of him any further.
 	
*Grahdens: What kind of situation?
 	
*Warlon: The set elimination of the last Abel Faction holdouts...Garrett and Mel.
 	
*Owen: ...!
 	
*Warlon: As I just told you, the Federation's leadership has disavowed all ties with the Abel Faction...
*Warlon: ...and is eager to bring matters to a close, both internally and externally.
 	
*Warlon: Which means that they cannot allow anyone who knows of the ties between themselves and the Faction to live.
 	
*Grahdens: Those two got away from me on Valdroar, but...
*Grahdens: ...I never imagined things would turn out this way.
 	
*Warlon: In all likelihood, they're hesitant to lose Bertz so soon after losing Rahnas.
*Warlon: From their perspective, it would leave them without any officials who could stand in opposition to the Empire or the Summoners' Hall.
 	
*Warlon: Meanwhile, they are also concerned with whether or not they can count on Bertz to follow their orders in the future. His actions were tantamount to betrayal.
*Warlon: This is most likely intended to test his loyalty to the Federation; ordering him to eliminate the Faction holdouts.
 	
*Grahdens: ......
 	
*Owen: ...I know you, Warlon. That's not all you had to say. Keep going.
 	
*Warlon: Yeah...
 	
*Warlon: Given the circumstances, I would like to dispatch someone from the Summoners' Hall to assist Bertz.
 	
*Grahdens: To assist Bertz? Are you serious? You can't possibly mean...

*Warlon: That's exactly what I mean. To ensure there are absolutely no misunderstandings between us, the Summoners' Hall will eliminate what remains of the Abel Faction ourselves.
 	
*Owen: Warlon, that's...
 	
*Warlon: No matter what it takes, we must ensure Bertz recovers his standing within the Federation.
*Warlon: He may well lead the Federation someday. We cannot afford to lose him!
 	
*Grahdens: Even so...is that enough reason to stain our hands with two murders?
 	
*Warlon: We of the Summoners' Hall have maintained a neutral position in the Federation and Empire's quarrels for countless years.
 	
*Warlon: But that is no longer good enough!
*Warlon: We must break free of this three-pointed conflict between the Federation, Empire, and Summoners' Hall...
*Warlon: ...and build a unified future for all of Elgaia!
 	
*Grahdens: ......
 	
*Warlon: Humanity has overcome its external threats. The war with the gods is over, and the demon threat is neutralized.
*Warlon: And now, internally, Rahnas is gone and the Abel Faction is losing power in the Federation...
*Warlon: ...while Paris is back home in the Empire...
*Warlon: ...moving to form an organization entirely separate from the Imperial Guard.
*Warlon: In all likelihood, she will gain political leadership of the Empire at some point in the future.
 	
*Warlon: There is no better time to sow the seeds of a unified future for Elgaia!
 	
*Owen: ......
 	
*Warlon: Something bothering you, Owen?
*Warlon: Do you find the thought of asking one of your Summoners to do such a dirty job distasteful?
 	
*Warlon: Yet, you know everything I said is true, don't you?
 	
*Owen: ......
*Owen: Hmph.
 	
*Warlon: I'll take that to mean you can't deny it.
 	
*Grahdens: I wouldn't say he agrees, either...
 	
*Grahdens: And you, trying to win us over with irrefutable logic, you never change, do you?
 	
*Warlon: Hate me if you like.
 	
*Warlon: But I have spent many years now, acting as a bridge between us and the Federation. I did it all out of a desire to see lasting peace in Elgaia.
*Warlon: What about you, Grahdens? What do you think? Are you with me, or opposed to my idea?
 	
*Grahdens: Hm... I will not object to your plan.
 	
*Grahdens: But I will be the one to select who will carry it out.
 	
*Warlon: Agreed. You are more familiar with our people than I am, after all.

*Tilith: Hey, ...this looks like the place. Those two from the Abel Faction are hiding here, um...
*Tilith: ...the old man was Garrett, and the girl was Mel, right?
 	
*Tilith: According to Elder Grah, Bertz should already be in this region too.
*Tilith: Let's get going, !
