To: Elaria Contari // From: Enma Loyola

[Petitioner]

A noble is more than his riches, signora. If your heart and soul are in the right place, then right actions will also follow. I admit that I am concerned for the fate of the Contari, but this is in large part because I am concerned that others are not as apt guardians of la nazione as we could be. Anyone who was around when we usurped the Ghosts and their stranglehold on the Council of Dons and foreign relations will tell you that we are — were — capable.

Regardless, it's plain to see that isn't the case. This is why I have thrown my lot in with the Cross, heretics though they may be. If I can steer them to the right path, and help ensure their assets are used in the way that yields the most good for the nation, then so I shall, and God will judge me as he may for sullying the honor of mi famiglia by consorting with them at all in the first place.

In short, signora Loyola, I do believe that I have the resources to make things happen, if only it can be determined what the best course of action to affect would be.
