Lilia is probably only the second most smug person in Avistan about this, after the Eagle Knight who organized the operation. She waits for Freedom Radio to issue the world's most obvious invitation.

Freedom Radio does this as soon as they hear the news! Iomedae obviously feels terrible about the fact she nearly got this woman condemned to Hell and did get her tortured horribly, and quite aside from that they should really have a good meaty episode on abolition soon anyway. She has no idea if Marusek is up for it, but if she is, it's all hers.

Andira Marusek, it happens, has not been tortured too horribly to appear on a radio show. Good fortune, that. She doesn't really want to talk about her week in Cheliax, but she'd be happy to talk about what they'll do with the place once they overthrow its current leadership, and she'd be happy to talk about slavery.

            "Recording Room, Fifth Floor, Castle Overwatch, Vigil."

"Huh. Fits the Legend Lore, I suppose."

"I thought they'd agreed not to pick fights with us. Can we get them for breaking their paladin rules?" Abrogail is frowning at the map, presumably calculating how many people she'd have to piss off to invade Lastwall. (Molthune, and Nirmathas, unless they're doing it over Lake Encarthan through Druma, and that supply line runs riskily close to the front in Druma…)

"Neutral in the Chelish Civil War, and not hosting its combatants. They'll say the girl is not a combatant in the Chelish Civil War but a commentator on it and no one could possibly expect them to stop people from saying mean things about the Thrunes."

"Fine. If we conduct a raid for her, what're they going to do in response, they're very busy -"

            "That scares a lot of people we don't want to scare. And gets them out of their declared neutrality."

"Can we pay Razmir to do it?"

            "Hasn't been interested, your majesty," says the Queen's international affairs advisor

"Get him interested."

           "Yes, your majesty."

Everyone will still know it's you, your majesty, there's no strategic reason to go after this girl except because she's undercutting your regime. She's avoided saying mean things about Razmir, probably for the obvious reason. Lilia does not say this. 

"Even Razmir may not be able to," Lilia says, reluctantly. "Arazni built that fortress."

"- can we pay Arazni to take it down?"

"I really, really doubt it." And Abrogail looks murderous so - "but I do expect we can use our new ability to trace Marusek to our advantage to identify other Eagle Knights, and ultimately we expect her to run for President of Andoran and we at that time can finish what we started with her, time it for when it'll cause a succession crisis."

When the radio is off Iomedae says, quietly, "I'm so sorry."

Marusek doesn't reply for a little while. "They claimed you knew in advance. Is that true?"

"...I don't know if I can answer that. I'm sorry. If you'd like I can check whether I can answer that."

"Ah, I see, you're really one of theirs," she says, more than a bit bitter. 

"- yes, I really am. Do you want me to check?"

"By all means."

She'll go look for Cansellarion.

He's findable. "How was the broadcast, any troubles?"

"It went smoothly. When it ended, she asked me - uh, she said ‘they claimed you knew in advance. Is that true?'"

"Ah. Did you answer?"

"I said I did not know if I could answer that, but that I could check if I could answer that. I think she made the obvious inference, from that - I don't know if there's anything I could've said that she wouldn't have -"

"As a matter of policy, you are not permitted to discuss things that, if true, would be secret. And on future such occasions, you should just say that. Likewise if the thing you're being asked about is in fact false, but would be a secret if true."

Blindingly obvious and elegant once he says it, plainly one of the things that being a paladin is for. Hard to think of on the spot when the person asking was tortured horribly and nearly damned because no one bothered to tell her, though. 

"- I don't want to discuss further right now because she's waiting, but if there are other policies like that I am evidently not competent to derive them fast enough on the spot, even though I can see how it's obvious. Is there a - book of them -"

"...Yes. I'm sorry, I've been negligent here - usually a new paladin would have learned all of this when they were in training - Oh you haven't had illegal orders training either - Finish your conversation. Then report back here and we'll sort this out, see if there's anything else I overlooked."

"Yes, sir."
