No matter how confusing the situation was in a two-sided battle, at least one would be able to discern the overall situation and tell who had the advantage.

There were quite a few individuals who were double or even triple agents, such as the Queen of Temptation, or myself with all my identities. And now, Karwenz had revealed himself to be a fourth faction, making things even more chaotic.
