[Shionne herself isn't ready to admit it, but having Alphen and the others has been such a boon for her. In a way, it's made her plans harder, but even more necessary. They've given her even more reason to want to be rid of her curse, this Doom of Damocles that hangs over her head that she can't tell anyone else about.

She wishes she could, but it's too much. And she doesn't want to steal their hope for their freedom when the Crown Contest is halted and Lenegis and Rena counter.

And, well, if they're all together when things happen, it might be better for them to get over it. It being her probable death. She's just a Renan, after all.

As for the information on this list? None of it matters.]

I suppose you have a point about us being corralled like this. It does feel familiar. Although, it's not quite as bad as Cyslodia under Ganabelt. We're not being used against one another.

[Not yet anyway.

Also, Shionne is full height for a woman. Taller than some. Law's just short.]

As for the rest, who knows? Nothing good, I'd wager.
