Orban von Eskale

Orban's kindness might seem like mere palace etiquette at first. This is the story of how you get to hear his true opinions hidden beneath that etiquette.

Start with the two copies on the table. You can ask why the writing on the last line is different, or point out the torn edges of the paper. You can also ask him directly why he didn't step aside from the door when the hand came to collect the copies. His smile will be a little delayed as he chooses his words between the palace's response and his own thoughts.

If his explanation is unsatisfactory, feel free to object. Even if your opinions differ, he will return to the same eye level and continue the conversation. It's also good to take your eyes off the paper for a moment and offer him a cup of tea. You can see what face he makes when someone who is kind to everyone opens up to you alone.

You will hear the answer to the erased line in his voice during the third night's reception. What you do with the paper after hearing that line is up to you, the one who refuses.
