Confused by Lolorito and Ilberd

[Cleretic]

The thing with Teledji's plan is that if it was stopped by just straight-up stopping it, Teledji and Ilberd would've known something was up and gone for a contingency plan that was probably even worse. Lolorito was actually rather clever to stop it by making it look like it worked, thereby getting those two to stick their necks out and show their whole plan. That doesn't make Lolorito a good person--I'm still of the mindset that after Endwalker, the biggest villain in the world is the Syndicate--but he's a helpful one. A businessman who stands to profit from the status quo is at least going to put resources into preserving it.

With Ul'Dah politically pretty much on a permanent knife's edge, the sultana pulling a big move like 'execute Lolorito' is going to fail hard without a good plan beside it.

Oh no! Lolorito fell down some stairs and died!

Anyway..

Honestly, I do suspect something like this to be in Lolorito's future. Lolorito's whole angle seems to be to quietly let his wealth accumulate and to avoid any big moves, so he's unlikely to make any great enemies. But he is still widely unpopular, so it seems less likely that he'll actually be assassinated, and more that he'll face a relatively minor accident and then by sheer chance nobody will be able to help him before an unfortunate death. Terrible shame, that.
