Hasglow frowned. "With all due respect, sir, this could be seen as a threat. No offense to the Loidites, but if this is magically influenced - and we have no evidence of such - than wouldn't throwing more magic on it be dangerous?" He found it very suspicious that his commanding officer, a man who fought hard to keep magic out of Anstaria, was now embracing its dark hold.<br/><br/>"If we are going to invite all the magic users here, why not call on the Baroness Masako? Why not see if the Comtesses might know more," Hasglow growled. "This is an unwise move. Even it it were not magically related, letting people who, until just recently, were enemies of the state so close to our dying monarch is ludicrious." He looked over at Tansen and Deston, "No offense meant, of course."
