*''[Velder Port]''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Ah, I thought I've mistaken the time, since it's dark outside, but I guess today is the Harmony Festival.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''I'm glad we managed to make it on time.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Wow, how pretty... Um, can I go look at that stand? I'll be right back.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Sure. We'll wait for you here.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''... Why don't you just apologize to Vera.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''I... I should. I will.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''You can't say you're sorry because you're embarrassed? You're not a child.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Oh, har, har, and you're all grown up and mature and everything! Good for you!''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Sigh, anyway, it seems like the restoration is at its final stages in Velder. The last time I was here, it was all barren and full of abandoned buildings.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''It may look fine because of the lighting, but that's still the case. You see that building over there? It's still destroyed.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Whoa, you're right... And they still decided to hold the Festival?''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Some people might think it's more the reason they should hold the Festival.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Aha, bread and circus?''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''... I think... it's more appropriate to say, it's an official celebration to mark the end of long suffering and the beginning of peace.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Too wordy. Bread and circus.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''When did she grow up to be such an insolent person who refuses to listen to others.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Excuse you. You're not the one who raised me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''If I were, you wouldn't have turned out this way...''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Sigh... In any case, I suppose it's much better than when I was here.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''It was long... Very long...''
*''(TAP TAP TAP TAP)''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Pant, pant! I'm sorry I'm late!''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Did you find anything interesting?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Hehe... There were a lot of pretty and interesting things.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Shall we get going then? Where are we supposed to go?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''If I show this brooch to a guard, they'll take me to the royal docks.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''... We're already here. Thank you, to you both. I don't think I would have made it this far alone.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''No. If it were someone else, they probably would have made it here faster...''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Huhu, it was because of my insistence we were late.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''... Why is everyone saying their farewells all of a sudden? You're planning on going back, aren't you?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''I mean, I need to meet my client, so I'll probably split.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Oh, does that mean you wouldn't be traveling with us on the way back?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Yeah. My destination is somewhere else.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''I see... Then I'll have to give you this right now.''
*''(SLIP-)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Huh? Uhh... What is this? Notebook and pen?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Yes. I noticed yours were old and tattered, so I wanted to get you a set.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Oh, you didn't have to... I'm really ok.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''I wanted to get them for you, so please accept.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Thank you for everything. Thanks to you, I had a lot of fun and learned many things.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''And... I'm sorry for handling your necklace without your permision.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Ah....''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''No. That's...''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''.......''

*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[The ship headed north from the port and followed the coast line, until heading towards a small opening on the cliff.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[It didn't seem like we were going the right way, because it was rough, but soon, we came to an opening.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[It was a dock connected to the castle.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Wow... They must have carved the inside of the cave to create a space like this.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''I came to the castle before to give reports about the relief effort when I was assisting my aunt... But this is the first time I've come this way.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Gee, I feel intimidated all of a sudden. Are you sure we're allowed to look around?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Huhuhu... Oh, there he comes.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''Your Highness, I hope your trip was uneventful.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''How have you been, uncle Laudius... I mean, duke. You look well.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''No need to be so formal. As you can see, I am quite fine.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''It's a rather, sorry situation... managing to escape the worst due to being away from the capital during the Invasion.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''I don't know how I would face His Majesty who passed away if I let the Kingdom go to waste.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Don't say that, uncle. It's thanks to you that Velder was able to recuperate so quickly.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Lithia, stand properly.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''Yeah, yeah...''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''.......''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''Anyway, who are your companions?''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Ah, these are the people who helped me on my journey.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''Ah, I remember your face. An assistance from the Landar family is always welcome. Thank you for delivering the message to Her Highness.''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''Ah, hello. I'm glad I could be of service.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''Hm, I don't think I've seen you before...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''...Lithia, at your service. I was fired on the way, so I accompanied them on the journey.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''...... Haha, I see. Thank you for keeping Her Highness safe and sound on her journey.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''(I get the feeling he's looking down on us, but trying really hard to hide it.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''(Maybe he could have accepted Mathi, but I'm sure a commoner like me knowing Vera's identity is too much for him.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''I'm terribly sorry, but we don't have much time. Here, I have already prepared a script for your speech.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''Uh, uncle. I came here to refuse the...''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''Of course, I perfectly understand. It's a heavy burden to carry, but a necessary one.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''I'm sure the people of Velder would feel relieved if a member of the royal family come out and wish for peace and stability.''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''It is time to show some courage. If you refuse, it may disappoint the people who worked very hard to prepare for the Festival.''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''... Alright. If that is all...''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''(He's trying to pretend otherwise, but is very domineering.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''(I'm sure he thinks manipulating a girl like Vera is no problem, regardless of her status. I don't like it.)''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''Lead the way for Her Highness.''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[Soon, the soldiers surrounded Vera and led her away. We didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[The duke made us wait, then gave us a money pouch with a ludicrous amount of money.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[It was a lot, for escorting one person.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[Mathi didn't know what to do and tried to refuse. Ha! He won't make it big with that behavior! Of course, I graciously accepted mine.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[I thought it was better to show that you understand, since the money probably included hush money.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[You could name it, 'Take This and Get Lost. Never Speak to Me Again' money.]''
*{{StoryIcon|Lithia}} '''Lithia:''' ''[It's not like I didn't see this coming... But it was still sad to part ways with this...]''
*{{StoryIcon|Mathi2}} '''Mathi:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Vera}} '''Vera:''' ''-''
*{{StoryIcon|Laudius}} '''Laudius:''' ''-''
