At first, Osric thought the message came from Fiona. But after reading through the contents, he realized Lira had sent it.
In that message, Lira briefly explained her decision to stand up against Emperor Euan. Osric regretted learning about her movement because if they had known Euan was already aware of the Crown Princess's plans, they could have changed their strategy accordingly.
Regarding Deputy Marshal Mannick taking Euan's side, Osric was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that army Blacksheep to be a patriot.
Anyhow, Osric was then angered after learning the suspected new 'Dark Sage' killed Fiona. The latter might be an illegitimate member of the Boyd Family, but she was still Ingrid's half-sister. She did not have any magic talent, but her talent in espionage made up for it.
