Why care about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally tilted her head, her twin pigtails swaying in the air, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What break ties? We’re legitimate businessmen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De shook his head. “You’ve seen the bards arriving at Dusk Hills these past days—news spreads fast across the continent. We can’t openly turn hostile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, forging documents of treason costs them little.
