As quick as Matthew-Kaine disappeared Iamthey was after him. Upon reaching Matthew-Kaine, he tackled him.
"You really think that I trust that bastard? I cannot believe you could not see that. Count will be the end of this city if something is not done. I would much rather be in the position where he needs me than his enemy. I do not know who I can trust now. The Elites have betrayed us. You are not being particularly helpful. And best of all I sit at the top of a mountain that could collapse at any time. I assure you, Confusion needs me, I can dump him anytime, and where is he?"

"You are making a mistake, Iamthey, that I can tell you." Matthew-Kaine responded. "You should have let the city become neutral."

"A nation is only neutral as long as no one wants it. Would you suggest I help Reconciliation, maybe Loco? This way I can keep us non-combatant, and receive information. If I learn of him paining to harm us, there will be no measure of how fast I will pull my supplies out of his cause. Also, there is no reason for you to be snooping around the city like this, because I am the emperor. You can feel free to walk wherever you want."
