~Plot twist~
*The palace of the High state, Throne room*
Baron
Here's the emperor's weekly report.
Ciara
I know what you're thinking.
Ciara
Don't worry about it.
Baron
Yes... your majesty.
Ciara
Send a letter to Felix.
Ciara
It's been a month and he still hasn't come to visit me!
Ciara
How can he think of leaving his mother all alone for a month?
Baron
Ahem... Indeed, your majesty.
Felix
How could I possible forget about my mother?~
Baron
Your majesty, greetings.
Ciara
So you did receive my letter, huh?
Ciara
Yet you did not even bother to send me a response. Hmph!
Felix
I was busy with a lot of things.
Ciara
By busy, do you mean preparing to lose for the Hunt?
Felix
A lot more has happened than just the Hunt in the past month.
Ciara
Anyway how is it going between you and Alry?
Ciara
Ah, pardon me- Austin.
Ciara
That does not sound like a very positive answer...
Felix
That's because it isn't.
Felix
I did expect a lot more to happen in a month...
Felix
I guess I expected too much though.
Ciara
Well, as much as I would love to let you continue this "pursuit of love"...
Ciara
I'm afraid you can only be on vacation for another few more months... if you're lucky, maybe six.
Ciara
The Southern archives seem to be planning something against the Northern archives.
Ciara
If they manage to drag the Eastern legions into it, then all hell will break loose.
Felix
That sounds rather concerning...
Baron
The Southern archives and Northern archives have never been on good terms.
Baron
Especially after the death of the King of the Northern archives.
Felix
Does this have something to do with... King Andreas?
Ciara
I'm assuming Austin already told you, huh?
Ciara
Hah... I'm surprised he trusted you that easily!
Baron
Surely you did your own research on the history of the Northern archives, right your majesty?
Felix
I did... not have time.
Baron
King Andreas is the current king of the Southern archives.
Baron
And it just so turns out... that he used to be king Alec's brother.
Baron
The late king of the Northern archives.
Baron
It is said that- King Andreas, being the younger of the two brothers, was subjected to constant comparison and competition with Alec which led to him becoming envious...
Baron
He then tried various means to bring Alec down, though ultimately, he ended up being banished from the kingdom.
Baron
He used some "peculiar" means to climb up to the throne of the Southern archives and it is rumored that he tried to kill Alec's eldest son, Austin, who was 12 at the time.
Baron
But somehow, Alec ended up dead instead.
Felix
Because Andreas killed him.
Ciara
Yes. I suppose that's what Austin told you.
Ciara
He must've warned you to stay away from the Southern archives.
Baron
A part of that was purely out of good will.
Ciara
Another part was probably because... the poor boy is scared.
Ciara
With this context... it looks like he's scared of losing you Felix.
Felix
You must've mistaken.
Ciara
Honestly, I'm not sure how either, but considering he told you this so soon...
Ciara
You two must have been close in a previous life...
Felix
He told me this the day I became his personal guard?-
(Ciara.exe has stopped functioning)
Baron
Let me complete the rest of the story your majesty...
Baron
Andreas wasn't the one who killed Alec.
