So there wasn't much exposition explaining why we went to Mandalia Plains(actually, no exposition at all). I think we are guarding the castle as the guy mentioned earlier.
Thieves are robbing Algus; I guess they are after someone called the Marquis. I remember hearing something about him earlier, but I don't remember. He's important, I think. I am given two choices on what to say:
1. Our duty is to destroy the Death Corps.
2. Saving him is our priority.
I choose 1 and Delita gives me a hard time. I guess destroying the Death Corps means letting Algus die. He doesn't look hurt at all, though. I brought Belmont, Heinlein, and Reeve with me for this one. Belmont is a chemist, the other two are squires. Bartz gains a level, but the others don't. Oh wait, Algus didn't die! Take that, Delita.
Algus talks about Marquis Elmdor. He was the important guy who was visiting. He was captured and Algus is sure he will be killed. He wants our help in saving him, but Delita and Bartz decide that it would be best to get the help of Igros Castle. Besides, Algus was more than a little creepy with the way he kept grabbing Bartz.
At the castle, Dycedarg heaps praises on Bartz, who doesn't really seem to care. They are discussing ransom for Elmdor, but Algus goes nuts and starts asking for 100 soldiers and crap like that. Dycedarg is like "shut up you aren't even a knight lol"
Algus is bitter because his grandpa was a traitor and now his family is hated. He wants to restore their honor so he can be all boss like the Beoulves. This is why he wants to save Elmdor so badly. Zalbag, Alma, and Teta showed up. I think Teta is Delita's sister, although that isn't explicitly stated. When Zalbag leaves, he is like "oh btw the death corps want ransom" as if Algus wasn't going all crazy about it earlier.
Teta is being picked on at school because of her rank. I guess the other noble families are not like the Beoulve family in their well-regard for commoners.
