The conversation I had with Rakan gave me an insight into how the Makari Kingdom works, but there are a lot of holes in Rakan's information, so I'm going to look for Ivan who has spent the last five days studying the information we've gotten from the Black Market.
After parting ways with Rakan, I met up with Ivan in the mansion's Library, Freya told me he's been spending most of his day here studying Black Market information.
As I entered the library I saw Ivan sitting in a chair by the window looking at a reading crystal, when I entered he looked at me and lowered the reading crystal as I approached to sit at the window.
"Why whenever you have a window nearby you prefer to sit by the window, master?" (Ivan)
"Makes me a little taller, which is good since even Hobgoblins are taller than me." (I)
"So, have you managed to study all of the Makari Kingdom information that the Black Market has given us?" (I)
