The plan, as described by Loretta and Tyros, sounded extremely cruel and ominous, although it did confirm some of Calentia's suspicions – Rutger was gathering warriors from the east precisely to be able to repel the valkyrie who had come for the "Tear." Nevertheless, the girl didn't get the feeling that the Count was deceiving her or withholding anything. The warriors could simply be a backup plan, while he knew nothing about how to cure himself. Of course, it could be that Hecate was behind the plan, not sharing the more dubious details of her scheme with her husband, but something still didn't quite add up. The Inquisitors arrived here after receiving information from Tyros, as before that they didn't even know where the "Tear" was located – therefore, the young man was either lying or was extremely foolish and simply helped to carry out the plan he described. The Inquisition was no better – assuming their words were true, it would be wiser to ignore any attempts at provocation rather than sending one detachment after another to Myrkonia. But even if we set aside the question of the plan's truthfulness, the Argalian is not sure that she has any other choice now but to trust the Count – Imelda's life is at stake, and the girl is not going to sacrifice her.
– If you believe that His Excellency is provoking you, wouldn't it be easier not to risk human lives and leave the "Tear" to him? If your words are true, then you are only helping to carry out the described plan and giving additional leverage over Rika," Calentia looked at Tyros, "as far as I understand, before you became an informant, she didn't even know the location of the "Tear."

What do the others think? I would fight. The described outcome sounds more interesting than a failed red quest and helping fools. And we'll also free up a Valkyrie slot for Ghoul.
