Journal

• Lisette has an important announcement to share with one and all.
  • ※This quest is available for a limited time only.

• Lisette cheerfully explains to you that the votes have been all but counted, and she is ready to announce the winner of the contest to determine who will serve as this year's emissary of ardor. Prepare your heart to receive the news, and take your place in the square in anticipation of the grand announcement.

• You accompany Astrid─newly minted as this year's emissary of love─to visit your heretofore masked client, who reveals himself to be none other than Guildmaster Ywain of Lancers' Guild fame. Astrid shares with the stern and sober warrior her proposal to escort him into a new era of love. Though somewhat skeptical, he takes her suggestion to expand his horizons to heart, and invites both the emissary and you to accompany him to the Leatherworkers' Guild, where he is scheduled to deliver a shipment of animal hides.

• Together with Astrid, you accompany Ywain to the Leatherworkers' Guild, where the all-too-serious soldier promptly manages to make a fool of himself by confessing his search for love to Guildmaster Geva. As she eyes Ywain in a manner that suggests she wants to turn his hide into a sack, the three of you are joined by none other than the notorious naturalist Marcette. Spying the collection of rare animal skins in Ywain's possession, she swiftly volunteers him to be her newest research assistant, whisking him off to parts unknown without so much as a second thought. Her mission to introduce Ywain to a member of the fairer sex accomplished─at least, in the most charitable sense of the word─Astrid suggests that the both of you return to deliver a report to Lady Lisette.

• Upon your return, Lady Lisette carefully weighs the events of the day. Though not entirely convinced at the outset, after asking your thoughts and reconsidering the matter for herself, she triumphantly declares Astrid's trial a success. Astrid rejoices, and with her sister's blessing, the newly crowned emissary of love steps confidently into her hard-earned position as mistress of ceremonies for this year's Valentione's Day. Your own duty done as well, you are free to enjoy the festivities as you see fit before going forth and returning to your adventures.
