They finally arrived in Velder. They are getting ready for the Harmony Festival.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • [Velder Port]
  • Mathi: Ah, I thought I've mistaken the time, since it's dark outside, but I guess today is the Harmony Festival.
  • Vera: I'm glad we managed to make it on time.
  • Lithia: .......
  • Vera: Wow, how pretty... Um, can I go look at that stand? I'll be right back.
  • Mathi: Sure. We'll wait for you here.
  • Lithia: .......
  • Mathi: ... Why don't you just apologize to Vera.
  • Lithia: I... I should. I will.
  • Mathi: You can't say you're sorry because you're embarrassed? You're not a child.
  • Lithia: Oh, har, har, and you're all grown up and mature and everything! Good for you!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Lithia: Whoa, you're right... And they still decided to hold the Festival?
  • Mathi: Some people might think it's more the reason they should hold the Festival.
  • Lithia: Aha, bread and circus?
  • 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.
  • Lithia: Too wordy. Bread and circus.
  • Mathi: When did she grow up to be such an insolent person who refuses to listen to others.
  • Lithia: Excuse you. You're not the one who raised me.
  • Mathi: If I were, you wouldn't have turned out this way...
  • Mathi: Sigh... In any case, I suppose it's much better than when I was here.
  • Mathi: It was long... Very long...
  • (TAP TAP TAP TAP)
  • Vera: Pant, pant! I'm sorry I'm late!
  • Mathi: Did you find anything interesting?
  • Vera: Hehe... There were a lot of pretty and interesting things.
  • Lithia: Shall we get going then? Where are we supposed to go?
  • Vera: If I show this brooch to a guard, they'll take me to the royal docks.
  • Vera: ... We're already here. Thank you, to you both. I don't think I would have made it this far alone.
  • Mathi: No. If it were someone else, they probably would have made it here faster...
  • Vera: Huhu, it was because of my insistence we were late.
  • Lithia: ... Why is everyone saying their farewells all of a sudden? You're planning on going back, aren't you?
  • Lithia: I mean, I need to meet my client, so I'll probably split.
  • Vera: Oh, does that mean you wouldn't be traveling with us on the way back?
  • Lithia: Yeah. My destination is somewhere else.
  • Vera: I see... Then I'll have to give you this right now.
  • (SLIP-)
  • Lithia: Huh? Uhh... What is this? Notebook and pen?
  • Vera: Yes. I noticed yours were old and tattered, so I wanted to get you a set.
  • Lithia: Oh, you didn't have to... I'm really ok.
  • Vera: I wanted to get them for you, so please accept.
  • Vera: Thank you for everything. Thanks to you, I had a lot of fun and learned many things.
  • Vera: And... I'm sorry for handling your necklace without your permision.
  • Lithia: Ah....
  • Lithia: No. That's...
  • Lithia: .......
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Lithia: [The ship headed north from the port and followed the coast line, until heading towards a small opening on the cliff.]
  • Lithia: [It didn't seem like we were going the right way, because it was rough, but soon, we came to an opening.]
  • Lithia: [It was a dock connected to the castle.]
  • Mathi: Wow... They must have carved the inside of the cave to create a space like this.
  • 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.
  • Lithia: Gee, I feel intimidated all of a sudden. Are you sure we're allowed to look around?
  • Vera: Huhuhu... Oh, there he comes.
  • Laudius: Your Highness, I hope your trip was uneventful.
  • Vera: How have you been, uncle Laudius... I mean, duke. You look well.
  • Laudius: No need to be so formal. As you can see, I am quite fine.
  • Laudius: It's a rather, sorry situation... managing to escape the worst due to being away from the capital during the Invasion.
  • Laudius: I don't know how I would face His Majesty who passed away if I let the Kingdom go to waste.
  • Vera: Don't say that, uncle. It's thanks to you that Velder was able to recuperate so quickly.
  • Mathi: Lithia, stand properly.
  • Lithia: Yeah, yeah...
  • Laudius: .......
  • Laudius: Anyway, who are your companions?
  • Vera: Ah, these are the people who helped me on my journey.
  • Laudius: Ah, I remember your face. An assistance from the Landar family is always welcome. Thank you for delivering the message to Her Highness.
  • Mathi: Ah, hello. I'm glad I could be of service.
  • Laudius: Hm, I don't think I've seen you before...?
  • Lithia: ...Lithia, at your service. I was fired on the way, so I accompanied them on the journey.
  • Laudius: ...... Haha, I see. Thank you for keeping Her Highness safe and sound on her journey.
  • Lithia: (I get the feeling he's looking down on us, but trying really hard to hide it.)
  • Lithia: (Maybe he could have accepted Mathi, but I'm sure a commoner like me knowing Vera's identity is too much for him.)
  • Laudius: I'm terribly sorry, but we don't have much time. Here, I have already prepared a script for your speech.
  • Vera: Uh, uncle. I came here to refuse the...
  • Laudius: Of course, I perfectly understand. It's a heavy burden to carry, but a necessary one.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Vera: ... Alright. If that is all...
  • Lithia: (He's trying to pretend otherwise, but is very domineering.)
  • Lithia: (I'm sure he thinks manipulating a girl like Vera is no problem, regardless of her status. I don't like it.)
  • Laudius: Lead the way for Her Highness.
  • Lithia: [Soon, the soldiers surrounded Vera and led her away. We didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.]
  • Lithia: [The duke made us wait, then gave us a money pouch with a ludicrous amount of money.]
  • Lithia: [It was a lot, for escorting one person.]
  • 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.]
  • Lithia: [I thought it was better to show that you understand, since the money probably included hush money.]
  • Lithia: [You could name it, 'Take This and Get Lost. Never Speak to Me Again' money.]
  • Lithia: [It's not like I didn't see this coming... But it was still sad to part ways with this...]

Bad Feeling

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the [Village] Arriving in Velder story quest
Description

Lithia faces a familiar face in Velder and gets a bad feeling.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Mathi: I didn't know we'd part ways like this. It' hectic...
  • Lithia: Yeah. So... What are you going to do now?
  • Mathi: I'll have to go with Vera if she decides to go back... So I'll wait around at the square.
  • Mathi: We have to go see Vera make a speech at the podium. You should come with me. You have to see her before you leave.
  • Lithia: Maybe I shou... ...Huh?
  • Society Member: (.......)
  • Lithia: (That robe... It looks familiar...)
  • Mathi: Um... Lithia. Where did you say you were meeting your client again?
  • Lithia: Uh... Huh? Feita. Why?
  • Mathi: Then it's not that far from Velder. Do you think you'll visit Velder again after you're done with your business?
  • Lithia: Uh, if I feel like it?
  • Mathi: Then let's meet again. We didn't get to see each other too often with how busy everything's been... and I'm worried about your curse.
  • Mathi: What happened on the ship... ...It's the curse, isn't it?
  • Mathi: Once you're done with your job, let's visit the ruins in Sander again.
  • Mathi: Maybe we'll find a way to break the curse if we investigate the ruins again.
  • Lithia: Uhh... Ok.
  • Lithia: (It's that noble earlier, too... What are they talking about?)
  • Lithia: (They seem close... Did the society have a connection with someone in the castle?)
  • Lithia: (Damn it, they didn't say anything about that! A job involving the Kingdom is bound to cause headache.)
  • Lithia: (Not only that....)
  • Lithia: (Why does that robbed person feel similar to the strange feeling I felt at the lake and the ship?)
  • Mathi: ...Lithia? Are you listening?
  • Lithia: Ah, sorry! I better get going!
  • Mathi: What? It's so sudden.
  • Lithia: Yeah! Better go meet my client! See ya! I'm sure we'll meet again soon!

Description

In order to find out the identity of her client, Lithia secretly infiltrate the castle.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • [Velder Castle, Ground Floor]
  • Lithia: (Alright... I made it all the way here without trouble.)
  • Lithia: (Shoot. What was I thinking? Hiding into the castle without a backup plan...)
  • Lithia: (Well... I guess I can make something up since I met that noble earlier. If things really get bad, I can use my teleportation scroll.)
  • Lithia: (Right now, I need to know how that society member is connected to court.)
  • Laudius: ...That's go...d. ...s the...ch
  • Lithia: (Ah... I can't hear what they're saying. I need to get closer...)
  • Society Member: What do you mean?
  • Laudius: The research of connecting the worlds together. The... Rift? You say?
  • Lithia: (...?!!)
  • Society Member: Unfortunately, yes. We have followed the papers, and there is a clear response, however...
  • Laudius: Didn't you say the research has been going for over a century? At that point, the existence itself seems to be of question.
  • Society Member: We can discover a special wave emitted by the Rift. This paper was also found by following it.
  • Laudius: How did the author open the Rift?
  • Society Member: Unfortunately, we were not as... proficient in our work at the time and lost the opportunity to ask when we obtained the papers.
  • Laudius: Hmph. That's what you get for flaunting your power simply for having someone influential backing you.
  • Society Member: No matter. That research does not matter any more. We found something much more stable.
  • Society Member: But why the sudden curiosity? Are you perhaps interested, Lord Laudius?
  • Laudius: I'm merely curious. I cannot fathom how you would be able to control it at the moment.
  • Lithia: (.......)

Secrets in the Castle
{{
Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the Infiltrate the Castle story quest
Description

Lithia holds her breath to listen to her client and the duke.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Society Member: We have done as you have ordered.
  • Society Member: Though the plan was thwarted or misfired in some places without quite achieving the desired effect...
  • Society Member: That too, is within the realm of our calculations, so it should pose a problem. Our goal is not to ruin Elrios, after all.
  • Laudius: Sometimes you need a hard hand to week out the weak.
  • Laudius: Yes. In that perspective, an invasion may not be too bad.
  • Lithia: (... What? What is he saying?)
  • Laudius: A true blessing in disguise. When the Invasion first happened, I thought I was witnessing the end of the world...
  • Laudius: But to think, I was able to turn that into an opportunity. Ha! It's all thanks to you. It was a blessing to be able to make a move before them.
  • Laudius: I will lay down the foundation with this opportunity I got.
  • Lithia: (Doesn't he realize how many people suffered because of the Invasion? What a piece of trash!)
  • Society Member: It was an ideal situation for the both of us. With this, Velder gains the opportunity to quell the rebellion and a justification to retrieve the El...
  • Society Member: ... And we gain the opportunity to enter Elrianode.
  • Lithia: (Retrieve the El? How?)
  • Society Member: Now that we've planted the seeds of fear, it's time to sprout those seeds.
  • Society Member: What's soon to happen during the celebrated festival will be the signal that spreads out throughout the land.
  • Society Member: Everything will go back to how it was when the El is returned... When more and more voices claim the same thing, it will become a reason that cannot be ignored.
  • Laudius: It's all going according to plan. However, you should stay vigilant until it's over.
  • Society Member: ... Which reminds me, how is the princess? Will she be any use for us?
  • Laudius: Tsk, not at all. I thought I could mold her to my liking sine she's essentially a commoner, but she had more of a bite than I expected.
  • Laudius: She kept prattling on, nitpicking on everything since she took a look at the speech.
  • Society Member: Nitpicking?
  • Laudius: She said, the speech should focus on consoling the people more than talk about the glory and the revival of the Kingdom.
  • Society Member: Oh dear... How unfortunate.
  • Society Member: If she were a self-important child believing to be the next monarch, she could have avoided an immediate... misfortune.
  • Laudius: There's nothing more unyielding than a weed on the road. Tell them to proceed with the plans.
  • Society Member: I suppose congratulations are in order... Your Majesty.
  • Laudius: Watch your mouth. You don't know who's listening.
  • Laudius: And it won't be me. The title will be given to my son.
  • Society Member: Technicalities. You humble me, Lord Laudius.
  • Lithia: (......What?)
  • 'Lithia: (Wait, let's calmly think about this. I think I can match this with the information I know.)
  • Lithia: (That member of the Society said her goal was to enter Elrianode. Does that relate to my job in some way?)
  • Lithia: (Maybe it wasn't an ecological research...)
  • Lithia: (The El... Each of the Els that was spread across Elrios are now all gathered in Elrianode.)
  • Lithia: (Retrieving the El... Do they mean they're going to take the El back from Elrianode? Justification? ...Ah!)
  • Denice Resident A: It's the wrath of the Goddess. She's punishing us for losing the El.
  • Denice Resident D: It's because the Water El is no longer with us! This is all because Hamel...
  • Society Member: Everything will go back to how it was when the El is returned... When more and more voices claim the same thing, it will become a reason that cannot be ignored.
  • Lithia: (Create a justified cause by causing panic?)
  • Lithia: (To make it seem like the tragedies are happening due to the El disappearing?)
  • Lithia: (The signal of the Festival... ...Vera?)
  • Lithia: (!! Vera is in danger! Vera was their target all along!)
  • Soldier C: Who's there!
  • Lithia: (Damn it, they got me...! I need to find Vera!)
  • Soldier C: An intruder! Get her!
  • Laudius: ...! What is going on?
  • Society Member: Oh my... You were right. There was someone listening in our conversation.
  • Society Member: There's no need for concern. I'll take care of it while you get ready for the Festival.

Duke Laudius was planning on upsetting the people using Vera with the Society member researching the Rift. There was no time. Vera is in danger.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Soldier C: Get her! Don't let her get away!
  • Lithia: Pant, pant, pant, ugh!
  • Lithia: (She said they were studying the Rift. If the goal is to enter Elrianode... Is that where the Rift is?)
  • Lithia: (Then the job they gave me was to see what's going on in Elrianode?)
  • Lithia: (No, maybe... the purpose is to break in.)
  • Lithia: (Could it be that they used me to find out their defenses and see if there's another way in?)
  • Lithia: (Damn it, I was completely played for a fool!)
  • Lithia: (And if they're behind everything that happened on the way... This is serious!)
  • Commander: What are you doing! She's only a child!

Cornered
{{
Quest Acceptance Prerequisites Objectives
  • Complete the One Behind Them All story quest
Description

When she is cornered by the commander of Velder, Lithia gets a spark of brilliance and starts making up excuses.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Commander: You use strange magic... Are you a magician of the Landar family?
  • Lithia: No, no, I mean...
  • Lithia: (Wait, why am I trying to correct him?)
  • Lithia: I have the right to remain silent!
  • Lithia: (Let him think whatever he wants!)
  • Commander: ... This is beyond what can be considered a childish prank.
  • Commander: However, forgiveness is also a virtue. If you can give me an acceptable reasoning, I will consider it.
  • Lithia: (Velder is about to celebrate the Harmony Festival. This one is going to be especially meaningful.)
  • Lithia: (He might not want to make a big scene.)
  • Lithia: (Hmph! I bet he's trying to let my guard down to throw me in the dungeon!)
  • Lithia: (He's underestimating me because I'm young. If I play along, maybe I can find an opening to get away.)
  • Lithia: Um, I, uh... I'm an apprentice magi...cian! I recently came to Velder to help with the relief efforts!
  • Lithia: There was a report... Oh, I wasn't the one giving the report, I just followed as an assistant but got... lost...
  • Lithia: And then, someone started yelling, so I thought it was a demon and started running away!!
  • Lithia: I had no idea you thought I was an intruder! I swear I wouldn't have run if I knew!
  • Lithia: I actually lost my family during the Invasion, so I'm terrified of demons... I didn't mean to inconvencience everyone!
  • Lithia: I'm sorry! Please forgive me...!
  • Lithia: (... Man, this is a lame excuse. Sorry, Mathi, Vera, for using your lives for my convenience...)
  • Lithia: (But maybe he'll think it's persuasive? Please let it slide...)
  • Society Member: You were involved in the relief efforts? How sweet.
  • Lithia: (...! That's...)
  • Society Member: But... also peculiar. I thought I gave you another task.
  • Lithia: Damn, it was you? Good recall.
  • Society Member: I thought we were supposed to meet in Feita. Instead, you snuck into the castle. You must be very impatient.
  • Society Member: And, is that demon magic...? Where did you learn something like that?
  • Society Member: I suppose we have enough time to learn. Get her. We can't let something like this disturb the Festival.
  • Commander: Yes!
  • Lithia: I heard you failed to open the Rift. How sad.
  • Society Member: ... How did you...?
  • Society Member: You're really incompetent! Shouldn't you be further along than me, if you ran off with Joy's research! And with the Kingdom backing you as well.
  • Society Member: What...!
  • Lithia: I'm going to get back all of Joy's research that you took. You'll see!
  • Lithia: Ha!
  • (BOOM-!)
  • Commander: Kugh, cough! Where's the intruder?
  • Society Member: Get her! I need to know how much she knows.
