"With food and drink, and the freedom to live as he pleased, the only thing he lacked now was his own weapon," Belaque said.
"No, you don't understand his personality." Ta Fengminglie said to Belaque. "He is the proudest paladin of the Royal City. He would never want to stay in the kind of place you described, and he has never craved freedom."
"Then perhaps you're the one who doesn't understand him," Belaque said.
"Who could possibly have such lofty aspirations? Even a paladin gets tired," Belaque said.

"Your group really is strict. Let me tell you one more thing: Kaguolet really has betrayed your Royal City," Belaque said.
"He's under your control now, isn't he?" Ta Fengminglie said.
"No, he's doing just fine. If I really had to control him, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to come here and find him a weapon," Belaque said.

"That's quite an interesting story they came up
