Dialogue and Mail
Introduction
Upon speaking with Kenli
- Kenli
- Oh boy, am I glad to see you!
- Something truly terrible has happened and I desperately need your help.
- My sister has decided to raise the taxes on the Daiyas.
- And she wants ME to evict them if they don't pay!
- Player
- Are you actually going to do it?
- Kenli
- Well, about that...
- Unfortunately, I don't have a choice. My sister owns all this land. I am merely here to execute her will.
- If I fail at that, I could be demoted. And you don't want to see how Eshe would react if that were to happen.
- I was wondering...could you do me the teeniest favor and explain my situation to Delaila?
- I don't think my heart could handle seeing the disappointment on her face when I tell her that the land her family has been tending for generations is being taken away.
Progression
Upon speaking with Delaila
- Player
- I've got some bad news...
- Delaila
- What?! Kenli and the Duchess want to raise the taxes on me land? Why they can't do that!
- Player
- Well, actually they can...
- Delaila
- That's where yer wrong, dearie.
- Player
- I'll do my best to help you.
- Delaila
- There's no need for that, dearie.
- When I said that they can't do that, I meant they literally CAN'T.
- Why? Because me grandfather signed a contract with their grandfather forbidding it.
- Our deed clearly states that the taxes are fixed "in perpetuity". And if I'm not mistaken, that means forever!
- You can just go on back to Kenli and tell him what he and his sister can do with their raised taxes...
Upon returning to Kenli
- Player
- Delaila said her farm deed forbids raising her taxes.
- Kenli
- I do recall seeing that stipulation in some of the contracts signed by my grandfather, the Archduke Kendall Bahari...
- I'll need to verify the Daiya farm deed had it too before I can proceed. An old document like that would be stored somewhere in the records room.
- If both my eyesight and organizational skills weren't so poor, I'd look for it right now.
- I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find the deed before my sister could send her mercenaries to evict the Daiyas, anyway.
- Perhaps you could take this key and search the records room for me? It's on the first floor of City Hall.
Optional: Chatting with Kenli
- Kenli
- Have you found the deed to the Daiya family farm yet? It should be somewhere in the town hall records room.
- Please be quick. I'll keep an eye out for my sister's mercenaries in the meantime.
Completion
Upon speaking with Kenli (Turn-In)
- Player
- I found the deed to the Daiya farm.
- Kenli
- Thank the Dragon! And just when I was beginning to fear the worst...
- This should stop my sister from raising the Daiya's taxes and save them from being evicted.
- If you see Delaila, please apologize to her on my behalf. I would do it myself, but I don't think I could face her after all of this...
Post-Quest
Upon speaking with Delaila
- Player
- Kenli wanted to apologize to you.
- Delaila
- For nearly getting me family kicked off our own land? Yes, I know.
- He stopped me earlier to say sorry for all the trouble. The poor man looked like he was going to cry the entire time.
- I told him I wasn't gonna hold it against him since I know he was just followin' orders.
- He invited me and Badruu over to his estate for dinner next week. I'm gonna surprise him with a crateful of me award-winnin' jam!
