{{h|Sandro|0=}}: [[Finneas]] is more cunning than I gave him credit for!  He tricked me into getting imprisoned for assaulting an innocent lord so that he could rule [[Deyja]] by himself and steal the credit for my plans to invade [[Erathia]].  Well, soon he will realize that I can pull his strings even from my cell and wrap them tightly around his neck.
