Leven thought for a moment and nodded, "It does seem like that. Anyone can see our attitude. If someone helps the Marshal Family at this time, it would be as good as declaring war on us too."
"Heh, you're not entirely stupid." Double Leaf casually complimented Leven, then continued, "Anyone can see that we came prepared. The Marshals deserved the loss they suffered. So, it's easy to conclude that it's understandable if someone temporarily refuses to help the Marshal Family, and they wouldn't be held in contempt for that. But if they do help, it would be equivalent to openly challenging Fire Claw. Besides…at least until now, nobody can see hope of Marshal turning the tide."
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Cassie respectfully bowed to Double Leaf, "It's all thanks to you."
"Nonsense. If it's not my merit, could it be yours?"
