Today, Master Thomas issued a rejection of the Zexen Council's order to immediately evacuate the Castle. The Zexen Council responded with a hardline policy, mobilizing the Border Guards and part of a Zexen Knight regiment to surround the Castle, on the grounds that the current occupants are now in violation of the law. The Castle then filed for an injunction, alleging that the Council is acting on a baseless pretext. Master Thomas also announced that the Council has his full permission to search the Castle. The Council has since ordered its forces to withdraw while the situation is sorted out. The Council's Upper Chamber has been embroiled in this controversy, with no solution in sight. Whatever the outcome, it is clearly a time of great anxiety for our residents.

• Master Thomas Removed from Zexen Council
At noon today, the Zexen Council designated Sir Leo Galan, of the Zexen Knights, as Special Envoy. The Council further declared the Castle grounds to be territory belonging to the Zexen Federation. In addition, they announced their decision to send Master Thomas off to Vinay del Zexay under armed guard. Master Thomas's arbitrary dismissal by the Council has thrown the Castle into an uproar, but a rejection of the Council's decision would inevitably provoke an armed confrontation with the Zexen Knights. Even if the dismissal is accepted, the future safety of the Castle's residents cannot be guaranteed. Surrender or fight? On Master Thomas's decision hangs the future of our Castle and its occupants.

Strategist Caesar Silverberg's tactics may deserve the most credit, as the army of Harmonia was held back despite the modest size of Chisha's arsenal. Caesar will stay in Grassland, prepared for Harmonia's next invasion. He is a strong ally.

If this occurs, the tragedy will be far more serious than that of 50 years ago, when the True Fire Rune got out of control. If the group of magicians are not tracked down, and the Runes are not brought back quickly, the future of this land cannot be guaranteed. The Fire Bringers will now be put to the test.
