"I will send my confidant there. Treat her well. Be sure to stay alert; the kingdom's nobles seem to be lurking nearby with cheap tricks that are difficult to trace. Also, can you find out what happened recently in the center of Tall-Or Forest? It seems that something big happened there."
"Something big, sir?" Steward was confused. "Did some powerful beasts appear?"
"I don't think so... but it's possible. It seems there really was a ruin there, and I'm interested in finding out."
"I see... I'll find out, sir. Give me some time."
