They they went to see in [[Calonne]] had returned they were shocked to see that he was being abducted by the Lord's soldiers. Mao and [[Laby]] give chase but the soldiers escaped with Calonne. Mao gets very upset and sad by the abduction of her grandpa. Laby, unsure what Mao is feeling asks he what she wants to do, she tells her that she wants to save Gramps. Laby cheerfully seeks to save him but Mao completely distraught points out how ridiculous that would be. Laby promises to help Mao like she had to her, Mao begins to realize now isn't the time to cry and agrees that they should act now. The two take a shortcut though a dokkaebies infested pass to get to the Lord's Keep fast. On their way, Mao wonders why Laby would be so eager to help, she explains that she helps anybody who seems nice that needs help. Mao understands but tells her that her kindness could be something people could take advantage of. Soon after they arrived at the base of the mountain where they are spotted by the guards, they fight and Mao notices how unexpectedly strong Laby was. Laby wonders why the people seem to be so eager to fight, Mao explaining that the situation of the village itself, how the previous Lord disappeared and the new Lord, [[Nenya]], took over and soon became a ruthless dictator, forcing everybody to fend for themselves. They make it to the front of the Lord's Keep where they are confronted by the [[Captain Guard|Lord's Keep Guard Captain]], the captain asserts that Calonne is locked in prison for personally offended the Lord, Mao doesn't believe his words. The captain then alludes to Calonne's past, planting seeds of doubt in Mao. They defeat the captain who retreats into the keep, locking them out. They now know Calonne is in prison so they devise to sneak into the keep from the roof. | |||
They sneak into [[L2-3|Lord's Keep]] through the roofs. Laby wonders why Mao appeared to be experienced doing so, Mao not wanting her to know her past dodges the question. She then notices the alarming number of soldiers inside the keep itself, far more than had first come to the village. She soon discovers that the soldiers themselves were monsters, resonating the same aura as the monsters which attacked Northern Empire, she is petrified with terror. Laby calms her down and refocuses her mind of saving Calonne. Sneaking through the chambers of the keep they come upon a locked door, using her picks and her thieving experience she is able to pick the locks. Laby once again wonders how she knew to do that and if Calonne had taught her, Mao tells her that her parents were the ones that taught her, but not wanting to say they were thieves, said they were locksmiths and warns her to be careful so they don't get caught. Laby asserts her fight abilities but Mao laments that she is weak and would run away it things got dangerous. Laby disagrees with her, even saying that if she were truly like that, she would have ran away already. Mao still uncertain with herself exchanges a small thanks to Laby. She opens the door, Laby says she is amazing like a thief, which trigger Mao to deflect, saying they were "ninjas". They reach a dead end but Mao finds Calonnes glasses on the floor, Laby stumbles and manages to reveal a secret door leading down into a dungeon. They enter the underground dungeon where Mao is attacked by [[Gunther]]. Laby manages to defeat the commander and save Mao, Laby asks if Mao was okay and she tells her that the necklace she wore which Calonne had made somehow protects her from harm. Mao heartfully thanks Laby for everything she has done and even apologizes for using her to save Calonne and insists she must do the rest alone. Laby asks if Mao could do it by herself before calling her an idiot for believing she had to do it alone. Laby tells her that she is helping her because she wants to and cares for her. Mao realizes how stupid she was acting, Laby asserts that they will both save Calonne together. | |||
