After the banquet, Leon ended up getting into Mr. Scrooge's carriage.
The War King had come along as well. He'd simply insisted on tagging along, and Scrooge hadn't refused him. His advertising strategy involved casting a wide net.
Leon had agreed to check out the game out of sheer curiosity—it was, surprisingly, free to play.

But according to Mr. Scrooge, you could play *Path of Conquest* without spending a single Copper Coin.
