[It seems there shan't be a day that Clive's sincerity does not strike him like a physical blow. He sees all the things he knew were in Joshua, having trusted him so much, but laid bare upon his surface.]
I am glad for it. Though you need promise me nothing, Clive.
I have been following the arrival of the Admiral and his family, as well as listening to the whispers moving among the castle. Even in the city, there are rumours that I find alarming. The sort that would echo what occurred in Twinside.
I am not sure who will claim greater power, or who shall move first. Yet I feel we should be preparing for a coup, and that it may be coming quickly.
Or... perhaps it may end in a visit that is only peaceful, and my fears will be unfounded.
You know as well as I do that among feuding royalty, such an outcome is unlikely.
