-"Are you serious right now?! We've risked our asses to get inside the palace just to sneak inside a dusty storage room?!"

-"This is where we have to be."

-"The emperor hasn't been in this kingdom for 5 years, and this palace is being used to run the entire region. If there's something of value to steal it's going to be upstairs, not here..."

-"We are stealing information."

-"Ugh... "

-"You'll be paid as promised. For now, help me find it."

-"Why is finding that so important to you?"

-"When the emperor conquers a kingdom, he secures it for the rest of council, and once the kingdom is assimilated and stabilized, he stays enough for his troops to rest and moves to the next kingdom."

-"And?"

-"He stayed here for an entire year after the city was stable. A whole year being idle."

-"Are we SERIOUSLY risking our lives getting here because you think it's weird that the Emperor stayed in this city for a year?"

-"It's not a hunch. It's a secret i've bought from Ralgur."

-"You made a deal with...?!"

-"Here! That must be it!"

-"Looks like a painting wrapped in linens... is that what we're stealing?"

-"You can leave now."

-"What?"

-"I'll unwrap it, see for myself what's in the painting, wrap it again and leave. I paid a fortune for the information i'll learn here, i don't need to steal anything. And you, my friend, will wait outside. I'm not sharing this with anybody."

...

-"And now let's see what kept the emperor bound in here for a year."
