As a noble and knight of Allaria, Fred was not used to having his good
faith doubted, but he bit back the angry retort that first came to his
mind. Anselm, Hildegard and Thomas did not appear to be Allarians, so
their caution regarding him was, he supposed, understandable. That Anselm
and Hildegard had shown him this refuge must indicate that they had at
least some degree of trust in him. That some things were being kept from
him for the time being seemed to imply that they must have another, even
more secret refuge, where presumably Princess Astra was currently. At any
rate, he could not think of anything else that they might need to keep
secret.
After some twenty seconds of consideration, Fred said: "I accept your conditions." Thomas, who from what had transpired Fred took to be the leader of the group, said: "Good. I am pleased that you took your time to make up your mind. It suggests that you are not given to making rash decisions, and rashness is something that we cannot afford."
