A Difficult Question to Decide

Completely suspicious.

That High Priest Fernando betrayed them out of self-interest even a passing Cloud Friend would know.

Even if Pastel herself was radiating an aura of wanting to be friends, was it normal to offer an alliance the moment they met on the battlefield?

It was right to think he had a hidden agenda.

Stealing Mr. Fairy Lump and running away was all well and good, but maybe upon regaining his senses and thinking it over, he realized he needed a collaborator.

If it were Governor Pastel, it would be easy to get the necessary cooperation in various ways. Aside from that, since she was young, she was a convenient target to deceive at the last minute.
