Back in Ostmont City, Baron Luth Belloc remained seated, staring at the Comms Cube long after the light within it faded.
"What do you intend to do now, Father?" Kron asked at last, pulling him from his thoughts.
"What do you mean?" the Baron replied, lifting his gaze from the device to his son.
"Are you going to continue lying low while the Imperial Family and the other factions keep stepping over us?" Kron pressed.
"And what would you have me do?" Baron Belloc raised an eyebrow. "Suddenly raise a banner of rebellion in our House's current condition?"
He shook his head.
"Do you think that just because someone appeared claiming to oppose the deities, I would immediately jump onto his boat? Have you learnt nothing from the failure of our forebears I just told you about?"
"Alex didn't claim he would stand against the Navi," Kron muttered. "But still… are we just going to continue to swallow this insult?"
