Blood of Pride: Difference between revisions

After defeating [[Bool]] and opening the secret passage, Rath and his troops suppress the mercenaries. Marquess Araphen requests a meeting with Lyn and her group; he rescinds his previous offer of supplies due to the annoyance he feels with being caught in [[Caelin]]'s inheritance dispute. Additionally, Marquess Araphen claims that he does not feel comfortable lending aid to one "tainted with the blood of Sacae", nor does not want to sour his relationship with Lundgren, who he believes will succeed in becoming the next Marquess of Caelin as Hausen has fallen ill. Lyn refuses to beg for aid from a man who disparages her lineage, and takes her leave of the marquess. After Lyn departs, Marquess Araphen rants to himself that he would have lent Lyn the aid he promised had she merely shed a few tears and acted more humble. Rath confronts Marquess Araphen on his treatment of Lyn and his comments about the Sacaens; Marquess Araphen insists he is proud of Rath's work, but Rath accuses the Marquess of only reserving his judgments of Sacaens when they are subservient to him, and resigns from his service. Rath catches up to Lyn before she leaves Araphen; if he fell in battle, he informs her that he intents to travel Lycia and heal before returning to Sacae, but asks to join her on her quest if he was not defeated—regardless, he also gifts her [[gold]] before they depart Araphen.
