~Possible culprit~
*The Northern archives, palace hallways*
Raven
I can't believe you still haven't found any clues about that spy.
Felix
Well, we did find some.
Felix
Or should I say "I did"...
Raven
You didn't report it to Austin?
Felix
Here's the thing, I don't think they're targeting Austin at the moment.
Felix
They seem to be targeting me.
Raven
How did you come to that conclusion?
Raven
You better be careful then.
Raven
The Hunt is also starting soon, isn't it?
Raven
Is Austin taking part?
Raven
Then who's taking part?-
Raven
Why do I feel like I heard that name before...
Felix
She's the one who sent us out when we came here the first time.
Raven
Oh, the red head... I never noticed her when we came here.
Felix
She is a general after all.
Felix
You cannot expect her to be in the palace 24×7
Raven
I heard skilled warriors can also take part in the Hunt.
Raven
Will you participate?
Raven
I think it's a good chance to impress Austin.
Felix
I never thought about that...
Felix
Maybe I should take part!
Alexandria
It's not that easy.
Felix
Your highness, Greetings.
Alexandria
It's alright Raven, I already know about you.
Raven
G- gree- greetings your highness...
Alexandria
Ah, yes! As I was saying.
Alexandria
The Hunt is not that easy.
Alexandria
A skilled warrior can take place.
Alexandria
But there's no guarantee whether he'll come back in one piece.
Felix
But there's no restriction in who can join right?
Alexandria
Catch the strongest beast and you win.
Alexandria
Usually Austin used to attend this event.
Alexandria
But last time... I think someone might have sabotaged him.
Alexandria
That's why I didn't send him.
Alexandria
You can join if you want.
Alexandria
Make sure you come back safely.
Alexandria
After all you are my son's personal guard. *walks away*
Felix
Yes... your highness.
Raven
Looks like it might have something to do with that spy...
Felix
Speaking of which...
Felix
Is behind us right now.
Spy
Shit!- why can't I move?!
Guard
Let go! I was just patrolling!
Lady Amor
Disrupting the duties of a palace guard...
Felix
It's a violation of the palace rules?
Felix
Of course... I'm a guard too.
Felix
But you know what else is a violation of the palace rules?
Felix
Eavesdropping on her highness when she is speaking to someone.
Lady Amor
How can you prove that?
Felix
It doesn't take much to realize that someone is eavesdropping on you... when you can quite literally see their shadow.
Felix
Is Lady Amor possibly... siding with this eavesdropper?
Lady Amor
Guards arrest him!
Guard
I was just doing what you- mmph MMPHH!
Lady Amor
Take him to the dungeon for questioning.
Felix
Let me do the questioning.
Lady Amor
A measly guard like you has no authority to question anyone.
Felix
Very well then. I'll take my leave!- *walks away*
Raven
She was acting suspiciously.
Felix
That's because she and the spy belong to the same team.
Felix
Actually anyone would be able to tell.
Felix
It's just because they're too scared to report anything.
Raven
Because of her position.
Felix
Looks like we will have to take part in the Hunt to seek more answers.
