After a short conversation, Idan and Arabel learned a lot of new information.
As they understood it, the situation between the Guilds, the Association, and the Federation had reached an impasse.
The Association has publicly denied all the Guilds' accusations of collaborating with outsiders. However, they found out about the existence of Esma, Essora, Essora and Milla's younger brother.
They demanded that the Guilds hand them over to the Association. But when Irene refused, the Association used this information against the Guilds, accusing them of colluding with outsiders.
As a result, the situation remained tense, and the parties exchanged accusations without resorting to force.
The guilds knew almost nothing about outsiders: how many they were, what their motives were, and what powers they possessed. In this confrontation, the outsiders remained in the shadows, having a more advantageous position, while the Guilds were in the light.
