The night before the emperor arrives to give You your mission briefing, You are walking around the monastery when You come across Chris standing alone. You decide to approach her.
Chris: Ah-! H-Hello, Professor. How are you doing this fine evening?
You ask her what she is doing out so late.
Chris: N-Nothing… O-Okay, I'm thinking about tomorrow. My father is going to be here… Just thinking about it makes me sick.
You ask what her father is like.
Chris: I already told you at the beginning of the month not to get caught up in anything that he tells you. He's been known to manipulate a lot of people. He's come off as a great ruler of Adrestia who has done a lot for the nobles, but… There's more to it than that. I'm not looking forward to seeing him.
You tell her You would like more details.
Chris: I… Um… Professor, I don't mean to offend, but I don't think I can do that right now. I don't want to anger him further. He hates me enough as it is. Besides, it's getting late, perhaps we should both go to bed.
Seraphine: She's definitely dodging the question. Press a bit harder!
You follow Seraphine's instructions and ask again.
Chris: I'm sorry. I need to keep this to myself, at least until the end of the mission. I don't want your opinions to be influenced by me just because I don't get along with him very well. I should probably let you form your own opinion on him anyways. It's late enough as it is.
Seraphine: Isn't she insistent on not saying anything?
Chris: Goodnight, Professor.
Chris walks away, and Seraphine appears at your side.
Seraphine: The more people talk about this emperor, the more afraid I get. He can't really be that bad, right…? Then again, if his own child is so scared of him… I don't know. I have a bad feeling about all of this.
You nod your agreement before returning to your room. It has gotten rather late, and You have a big day ahead of You. Seraphine follows You, and You both fall asleep soon after in preparation for the day to come.
The next morning, You and the students do not meet in the Black Eagles homeroom, but rather, outside of Aisa's room on the second floor.
Chris: Well… Here we are. We're about to get our orders from the emperor of Adrestia about our next goal.
Herwig: Are you alright? You look rather pale.
Chris: It's not a big deal.
Polly: I just want to get this over with. We have a mission to take care of.
Zelhira: You don't seem to like the man much.
Florence: I don't know much about the emperor, but you two must know more about him than most people here. Is he really that bad?
Callisto: I heard he eats babies for breakfast.
Aquillus: That's ridiculous. Nobody eats babies for breakfast.
Chris: He doesn't eat babies. He eats the hopes and dreams of everyone he comes into contact with.
Tuncay: I don't think that's much better.
Hegias: This is the man Evenor worked for back in the day… I wonder what he's like.
Chris: The answer is unpleasant. Incredibly unpleasant.
Herwig: Perhaps we should go inside now.
Callisto: Maybe he'll have-
Aquillus: He won't have babies in between his teeth.
Florence: Party pooper…
Tuncay: I can't tell if that would make him better or worse.
Hegias: I think we should quit the chatter and go see him. If he's telling us what to do, it must be important.
Zelhira: I agree. He must have a reason.
Chris: Whatever it is, don't get swept into his words. If he offers you anything, deny it. No matter what. If he says he can offer you money for your services, turn him down. Don't accept any offers of his.
Tuncay: Chess, you're starting to scare us.
Chris: Just trust me on this, okay?
Seraphine: I don't even know this man, but I already think I want to punch him.
Polly: Come on. Inside we go.
The students enter the room alongside Herwig. You take up the rear. Inside the room, You see Aisa speaking with the emperor, Hendrix von Faixnoye. He is a tall man with black hair and brown eyes. He bears no resemblance to his daughter.
Aisa: Good morning, students. It's a pleasure to see you. I take it you've already heard that you'll be taking your mission today from the Adrestian leader.
Hendrix: Greetings.
Chris: Father… It's nice to see you again.
Hendrix: …
Aisa: Why don't you go on and give them their mission?
Hendrix: Of course… One lord within my territory has acted out against me. Lord Thaddeus Bazler is his name. He sent mercenaries to attack a Crest scholar two months ago. Your class was involved with that mission.
Chris: You had worked with her at one point, yes?
Hendrix: I'd like you to eliminate this lord and any of his remaining soldiers. Such dangers to the Empire cannot be allowed to live.
Herwig: Is there anything else you know about him, Your Majesty?
Hendrix: He has been attempting to overthrow Faixnoye rule for quite some time, though I never imagined he'd make such strides against the family directly.
Chris: Did he attack you directly?
Hendrix: Quiet, girl. Did I give you permission to speak?
Chris: …
Seraphine: Intense much…? Yikes.
Hendrix: You are to defeat him once and for all. Do not leave a single soldier alive. Those who wish ill against the royal family deserve nothing short of death.
Hegias: Um… Excuse me… Chris mentioned Evenor earlier. Did she really work for you at one point?
Hendrix: Yes, she did. She was researching Crests at my request until twelve years ago. I had no further need of her, and so I let her go.
Hegias: No further need of her…
Chris: Father, is there anything else you need of us?
Hendrix: What did I say about speaking out of line?!
Chris: M-My bad…
Tuncay: Let's just go and take care of that noble. How does that sound?
Hendrix: Of course. Return to me once your mission is complete.
Seraphine: I can't wait to leave. He's so irritating to be around… What's his deal? How rude can someone be?
You ask Hendrix if he needs anything else.
Hendrix: No…
He looks at You for a moment longer, his eyes narrowing.
Hendrix: You… Who are you?
You explain that You are a professor for the Officers Academy.
Hendrix: I see… Leave at once. You have business to take care of.
You start to leave with most of the students, but You see Chris is staying behind to speak with Hendrix for a moment longer. You hang back to see how it goes.
Chris: Father, please listen-
Hendrix: I have nothing to say to you. You disobeyed me, and you will live with the consequences.
Chris: I don't even have a chance to prove that I'm loyal to you?
Hendrix: You deserve no chances. You have harmed the Faixnoye family greatly, and I will not be forgiving you for it.
Chris: Father, just let me-
Hendrix: Leave.
Chris: Please, I want to say sorr-
Hendrix: Go!
Aisa: Perhaps it is best if you go and carry out your mission for the month. There is no time to speak now.
Chris: I… I understand…
Chris looks at him for a moment longer before walking away, brushing past You as she goes.
Seraphine: You should talk to her for a second. She looks pretty upset.
You close the door behind yourself as You go before tapping her on the shoulder.
Chris: H-Huh? Oh, sorry, Professor. You shouldn't have had to see that.
You ask if Hendrix is always like that.
Chris: I guess you could say that… We don't get along all that well, as I'm sure you could tell. Let's just say that I made a horrible mistake before coming here, and he didn't exactly take it well.
Seraphine: What could she have possibly done to make him that mad…? Do I even want to know?
Chris: My father has set me up with a man for an arranged marriage. He figured it was the perfect chance to expand our influence… He always pushed me to grow closer to my future partner, Arthur. I didn't want to. I spoke of my frustrations with Polly, and my father mistook it for me cheating on Arthur. It was nothing of the sort, but… He thought he had seen enough.
Seraphine: Why am I not surprised he jumped to conclusions like that?
Chris: I guess he hasn't gotten over that grudge. It's fine. If he doesn't want to talk to me, then that's his problem.
Seraphine: Somehow, I think there's more to it than just that.
You tell Chris You are happy to be there for her if she needs it.
Chris: I do appreciate it, Professor… Perhaps we should go on with the mission. I'll deal with this later.
Seraphine: She has a point… I'm not eager to move on from this serious subject either, but… I guess we don't have any other options.
Chris: Bazler isn't going to be waiting for us. Come on.
Chris leaves.
Seraphine: I don't think I like the emperor at all after that conversation… Gods above, what an unpleasant man.
You follow Chris silently, thinking about the emperor. Hendrix hasn't given You a strong first impression, but You cannot call him out on it. That would be a recipe for disaster given his status as the leader of Adrestia. Instead, You remain quiet and keep in mind to stay away from him.
A few hours later, You and the students arrive in Bazler territory to deal with the lord responsible for such a rebellion.
Herwig: Bazler… I've heard some unsavory rumors about him.
Zelhira: Rumors?
Herwig: He is known among the higher nobility for being ultimately unpleasant. There's minimal evidence on this next assumption, but… Some believe that he might be involved with a human trafficking ring.
Chris: I've heard something similar… I didn't want to say anything in case it was wrong, but…
Aquillus: What kind of monster are we dealing with?
Polly: I can confirm it. He does do such a thing, but he's too powerful for anybody but the emperor to do anything about him. Of course, the emperor owes Bazler a debt, meaning he dares not get him in trouble. I don't think he's going to be standing up to save the captured people.
Chris: I've heard they're mostly from Brigid and Dagda. They're territories outside of the continent that went to war with Adrestia a few years ago. We're at peace now, but… Bazler used the war as a perfect chance to sneak into Brigid and Dagda to do unsavory things.
Tuncay: What a monster… I'll be looking forward to bashing his skull in.
Hegias: It appears we're coming up on the mansion now.
Chris: Well… It looks like it's time for us to head in there. Any last things to mention?
Florence: I want to impale him with my spear already. If he's really been taking people to smuggle as slaves, he deserves everything that's coming to him.
Callisto: Men like him disgust me…
Zelhira: Do you think we can get him in trouble for this rebellion with the emperor? If Bazler is going to attack the emperor's child, then that must cancel out any deals they might have made ahead of time.
Chris: I guess we'll just have to see.
Tuncay: Let's go take care of it. I'm going to give him all sorts of hell for what he's done.
Florence: Looks like we won't have to wait long for him to see us. Look.
Thaddeus Bazler appears on the horizon, mounted on a brown horse. His troops surround him. They've taken up a defensive position outside the territory's mansion.
Bazler: Welcome, students of the Officers Academy!
Chris: Thaddeus Bazler… Pleasure to see you again.
Bazler: If it isn't Miss Chris… What brings you here?
Chris: Orders to take your head.
Bazler: I see… If that's the way it must be, perhaps we'll just have to go along with that…
Hegias: There's no chance of getting away now. Diplomacy isn't going to work either.
Callisto: I don't want to use diplomacy on a monster like him. He deserves death and everything else.
Hegias: I want to know why you attacked Evenor!
Bazler: Crests are valuable, kid. They're power in its purest form. That Crest scholar has the key to giving and removing Crests freely…
Hegias: She can… What?!
Tuncay: Giving Crests? And you wanted that?
Bazler: She's a traitor and a scoundrel… She brought it on herself.
Hegias: You-
Florence: Hegias, heel! We can't let our emotions get the best of us now!
Callisto: I hope you're ready to die, monster!
Bazler: Well, don't you look nice… If you need somewhere to go after the school year-
Callisto casts a fire spell at Bazler.
Callisto: Shut it!
Bazler: Feisty… Fine. If that's how this has to be. Men! To battle!
Zelhira: That's our cue.
Herwig: Students! It's time!
There are multiple types of soldiers seen around the battlefield. There are many soldiers wearing black armor, showing they are part of the group Malice. There are other soldiers wearing ragged clothing and using weapons that are barely held together. All fighters from the second group are underaged boys and girls.
Chris: Well… It looks like we've found proof of his trafficking activities.
Polly: Most of these youths look like they're from Brigid, Dagda, or Albinea. They don't want to fight us, but they're being forced.
Zelhira: We should try to spare them if we can.
Aquillus: What a monster…
Florence: They're all so young…
Callisto: Don't fight the soldiers not in black armor! We're going to free them!
Hegias: I can't believe him…
Tuncay: Monster…
Seraphine: Are all nobles like this? They're really coming off as unpleasant and awful, you know…
The battle properly begins. The Black Eagles are already showing signs of growth, having learned to slash freely through the enemy. The group keeps the youthful soldiers not in black safe to the best of their abilities. If one of your units speaks with a youth, the youth will change to green and start trying to escape.
If You speak to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Youth: You're here to save me?! Thank you so much! I'll leave now!
Seraphine: There's one down…
If Chris speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Chris: You… You're one of the people Bazler took, aren't you?
Youth: Yes…
Chris: Don't fight us. We're here to save you.
Youth: Thank you so much!
If Polly speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Polly: You're not from around here… Halt your blade. We're here to save you.
Youth: Thank you! I-I'll get right out of here!
If Zelhira speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Zelhira: Lower your blade. I'm here to save you. Run away from this place. We'll take care of Bazler.
Youth: Thank you, kind lady!
If Florence speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Florence: I can't believe that monster is keeping you here… I'll take care of him. You get out of here.
Youth: Alright! I'll go now!
If Callisto speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Callisto: This monstrous man is keeping you locked up for his own purposes… Run.
Youth: Thank you so much…!
If Hegias speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Hegias: I'm not here to fight you. Please, run away. You don't deserve to stay here.
Youth: Thank you!
If Tuncay speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Tuncay: I'm sorry it had to come to this… Leave. Run.
Youth: I-I will!
If Aquillus speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Aquillus: Words cannot describe how sad I am for you… Please, leave this place. I'll defeat Bazler.
Youth: Thank you...
If Herwig speaks to one of the youths, this dialogue plays out.
Herwig: I'm here to keep you safe. Leave Bazler territory. Go, find a better life.
Youth: I-I will…!
If all the youths escape, You will receive one item for each stat at the end of this fight. For every two youths killed, one item will be taken away.
If You initiate combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Bazler: Well, what do we have here? A teacher from the school? Pathetic… You do look familiar though… Hmph. It matters not. Goodnight, Professor!
If Chris initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Chris: You're a monster for all of this… You deserve more than death.
Bazler: You say that acting as if your father hasn't committed unspeakable horrors himself.
Chris: I never said I supported him.
Bazler: Isn't that frisky to say…? You almost remind me of… Naomi…
Chris: Who is-
Bazler: The woman who was meant to be my wife… I have never loved another more. The instant I saw her in that church, I knew she had to be mine.
Chris: That's disgusting!
Bazler: Say what you will! It doesn't change the fact that you're about to die!
If Polly initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Bazler: When I saw you at the palace, I always found you to be attractive, you know.
Polly: Well, it's not reciprocated.
Bazler: Say what you want… If I had really wanted you, I could have had you… But you were clearly the emperor's plaything.
Polly: You-!
Bazler: It doesn't matter. Die!
If Zelhira initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Bazler: You look familiar… Like one of the women who passed through my territory… She was a beauty.
Zelhira: Excuse me?
Bazler: You're practically her spitting image… How attractive you are…
Zelhira: Quiet, fiend. I will rip that tongue from your mouth for saying such things!
If Florence initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Bazler: Hm… How odd… That red hair isn't common in Adrestia…
Florence: What are you on about?
Bazler: Red hair is more common in Faerghus… Specifically in a few noble houses I'm sure you've heard of.
Florence: I don't understand, and I don't need to! Die already!
If Callisto initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Callisto: You are the lowest and dirtiest of all men. None should ever resort to such means as a way of gaining the attention of others.
Bazler: Frisky…
Callisto: You're disgusting! Perish and rot in hell, dastard!
If Hegias initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Hegias: What did you really want with Evenor?
Bazler: She had research she was meant to share with me, but she backed out. It was the only logical course of action.
Hegias: Why would she be involved with someone like you?!
Bazler: She's a lot less innocent than you think…
Hegias: You… Shut up! Die already!
If Tuncay initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Tuncay: People like you are the reason common folk can't stand nobles.
Bazler: Perhaps you 'common folk' are heathens who deserve hell for not respecting those superior to you.
Tuncay: Perhaps we common folk should rise up and destroy those 'superior to us'. All you nobles are the same. I've never met a good one.
Bazler: You never will… If you find me to be awful, that is. I'm the best there is.
Tuncay: Sure… Sure.
If Aquillus initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Aquillus: I can't stand you… Monster.
Bazler: Say, aren't you a noble yourself? A noble with a Crest, at that…
Aquillus: Why does it matter?
Bazler: Perhaps you could use my business when you come to power.
Aquillus: You won't have the chance to offer your support. It's time for you to perish.
If Herwig initiates combat against Bazler, this dialogue plays out.
Herwig: I know quite a bit about you, Bazler… Too much, as a matter of fact.
Bazler: What about me?
Herwig: You know what a monster you are.
Bazler: Perhaps we can save this discussion for another time. Farewell.
When Bazler is defeated, this dialogue plays out.
Bazler: Ugh… You're… Terrible… Stains…
After the battle, the group stands before Bazler.
Bazler: You're all stains… Terrors to Adrestia…
Chris: Why did you rebel? I want the truth.
Bazler: The emperor is a fool… He pretends to be in power, keeping everyone under his thumb, but it's never enough for him…
Chris: And that's justification for starting a rebellion?
Bazler: He deserves this all… Everything that's coming to him! The Faixnoye line has destroyed Adrestia for far too long!
Chris: I see… Crimes against the emperor will be met with death.
Bazler: I wouldn't be so sure.
Bazler claps his hands, and a small group of ambush troops appears from the trees. He gets to his feet and runs away. The Black Eagles struggle with the ambush troops for a few minutes as Bazler disappears off into the distance. Once their lord is gone, the troops leave, and the territory is abandoned.
Seraphine: We have to go after him!
Tuncay: Why aren't we chasing him?!
Herwig: I… I'm afraid he must be let go… We have other business to take care of here.
Chris: Like freeing all the poor people he's been using in his trafficking ring.
Polly: We don't have a moment to waste then…
Aquillus: I can't believe he was doing this for years and nobody stopped him.
Hegias: I don't understand any of this…
Callisto: We're not going to let him live for long. The whole empire is going to be on guard now.
Florence: I bet the emperor is going to go after him actively too.
Zelhira: He won't get away with this…
Chris: Let's get to work. We need to free all these people.
The rest of the group walks away to get to work. Seraphine appears before You.
Seraphine: Thaddeus Bazler… What a monstrous pile of trash. He was keeping so many young people hostage here without a shred of regret.
You think of how he never showed signs of caring for what he had done.
Seraphine: He wanted us all to die, and he was willing to sacrifice innocent, malnourished children to reach that end… Disgusting.
A youth appears in front of You before You have a chance to reply.
Youth: Thank you for all you did for us today… Here. Take this.
You receive all the stat items that You earned from the battle.
Youth: Goodbye. Thank you again.
The youth walks away.
Seraphine: So hurt, and yet they still tried to do something for us… They really all did deserve better.
A few hours later, the group arrives back at the monastery. In the primary chamber where Aisa regularly stays, there are three people. These three are Aisa, Roy, and Hendrix. They were not talking when You entered, instead merely standing in the silence and waiting for You to return. When You appear, Aisa looks up.
Aisa: Ah… Greetings, Professor. I see that you have returned from your mission.
Roy: What happened to Lord Bazler?
Hendrix: I hope you killed him. Any people who stand up against the empire deserve nothing short of death.
Aquillus: I… I'm afraid not.
Herwig: He managed to escape, but… We have found proof of his past crimes.
Zelhira: We uncovered a lot of evidence regarding his human trafficking ring.
Polly: When he is found, he can now be reliably prosecuted for his crimes.
Hendrix: I don't care about that right now! He acted against the empire, and he cannot be allowed to live!
Chris: I-I'm sorry, Father… I promise you, I'll-
Hendrix: You had better make up for this mistake. I won't tolerate another failure.
Chris: I understand…
Hegias: He was confirmed to be the one who sent the mercenaries after Evenor a few months ago.
Tuncay: He claimed Crests ran the world, and that she had found a way to give people Crests.
Florence: But… That's not possible… Right?
Callisto: If she's been studying Crests for years, maybe she figured it out…
Aisa: I see… Church troops will make a move to arrest Lord Bazler as soon as possible.
Roy: Thank you for your work, students. You may return to your classroom now.
The students all leave the room with Herwig save for Chris.
Hendrix: I must return to Adrestia now.
Chris: Father, I-
Hendrix: Don't mess this up.
Chris: I… Okay. I won't.
Hendrix: Farewell.
Hendrix leaves.
Chris: Um… I'll be on my way as well…
Chris leaves.
Aisa: Thank you for your help, Professor. You have done a lot for the church on this day.
Roy: We will be working with the people you freed from Bazler's territory to find better lives for all those taken.
Aisa: I had heard rumors of what he was doing, but I didn't realize it was so expansive…
Roy: He has been doing such for twenty-five years, according to Nesreen. She relayed all the information your troops found on the field to us.
Seraphine: Twenty-five years?!
Aisa: There was much harm done by his lust for power… We won't be able to do much for the people who have lived with this for their whole lives.
Roy: His father, the previous Lord Bazler, was involved in this as well. It has a fifty-year history in total.
Seraphine: I can't believe nobody tried to stop him… What's the point of the nobility system if it means some people are ruled over without a say? I mean, nobles are supposed to protect their territory, but they aren't doing a good job if they let somebody get away with this.
Aisa: He had contact with a noble in Leicester, and as far as we are aware, he was tied with the previous king of Faerghus somehow. The connection is unclear…
Roy: We'll be looking into this Leicester noble, Lord Wenlock Columbus, in case he merits further investigation.
Aisa: For now, please go on about your business.
You nod and leave the room.
Seraphine: The emperor is a lot worse than we thought… For one, he mistreats his daughter. On top of that, he let Bazler get away with this until it directly inconvenienced him. Both sides are awful, but I see why somebody would want to rebel against him.
You nod your agreement.
Seraphine: Let's just get to the classroom.
When You arrive at the classroom, the students are all standing together with Herwig.
Herwig: That's the end of this month's battle… In my opinion, it was the largest in scale up to this point.
Aquillus: I'm exhausted after that…
Zelhira: We all need some time to think about the horrors of our nation after that fight.
Tuncay: This is why I don't like nobles… They get mad with power and stomp over whoever they need to in order to get what they want.
Hegias: Unfortunately, there's not much we can do to fight back… It would throw the empire into ruin.
Florence: Damn it all!
Callisto: I think we should try and forget about what happened today… That disgusting man…
Polly: I'm inclined to agree… I'm glad we were able to free those people, but I find it unfortunate that they had to endure his behavior up to that point.
Aquillus: And he's still out there…
Florence: I hope he gets caught soon.
Zelhira: I'm sure he will be… We need to have faith in the church.
Tuncay: Sure… Fine. I'm done with this. Goodnight, everyone.
Hegias: My opinion of nobles has changed for sure… I'll be on my way.
Callisto: Disgusting pig…
Polly: Goodnight, everyone… I hope you feel better.
The students all head out with Herwig. The only other person in the classroom is Chris. You ask her what is on her mind.
Chris: All of this… It's ridiculous. My father… I see he hasn't relaxed in his hate of me after all this time. I'm not surprised, but it's still disappointing.
Seraphine: He's horrible to you…
Chris: Then there's Bazler. His family was kidnapping people for fifty years. When war began between Brigid, Dagda, and the empire, he used it to his advantage to take war refugees under his thumb for his own purposes. If I had to guess, he used the king of Faerghus for the same purposes.
Seraphine: What does that mean?
You ask her Seraphine's question.
Chris: Faerghus went to war with one of its colonies about eighteen years ago… Albinea rebelled against Faerghus after its people were framed for killing the king. The common word was that bandits did it, but on official records, Albineans were executed for it. The king of Faerghus was known to hate people from Albinea. He led hunts for Albinean people, and he'd kill them if he found them to be a threat to Faerghus.
Seraphine: Maybe it's good that he's dead…
Chris: I bet that's where the hostages from Albinea came from. I saw some that weren't from Brigid or Dagda, and I bet that they were from Albinea, or more specifically, from the king…
Seraphine: Are any royals on this continent good people?!
Chris: You know… Today has only fueled my hatred of nobility and Crests. Bazler went mad with power since it was gifted to him. It was gifted to him since he was born noble. He also went after Ms. Hepius for her knowledge regarding Crests. He wanted to use it as a ploy to gain power and expand his influence… People should not be born and have their worth determined immediately. People are made by their experiences, not the blood in their veins. Everyone deserves to be treated equally.
Seraphine: It's odd to hear a noble say something like that.
Chris: It's not a sentiment shared among many nobles, but… It's just how I feel. Crests are horrid, and nobles are just as bad, if not worse. Tuncay was right when they were disgusted… I hope I'm not sharing too much here.
You assure her she is fine.
Chris: Thank you… Ah, it's late. Sorry for keeping you so long. I didn't mean to bring you into my ranting. I pray you can forgive me for speaking out of line. G-Goodnight, Professor.
Chris leaves the classroom quickly.
Seraphine: I think we figured out the reason she's so anxious today… Her father must be the reason she gets so worked up.
You nod your agreement.
Seraphine: I'm starting to wonder if any good nobles exist… Either way, it's not something I can answer today. Let's go to bed.
You start back to your room. When You arrive, Seraphine doesn't say anything about the events of the day. She goes to sleep without so much as a goodnight, which is abnormal for her. Given the events of the day, You suspect that for the second month in a row, Seraphine is questioning the way F ódlan is run given the questionable state of the class system. You do not comment on it and go to sleep silently, though it takes You quite some time to sleep. Questions dance through your mind about the continent, its values, and the people who make it run. You hold doubts about Fódlan, but You do not voice them and let sleep claim You...
Hendrix and Bazler are the worst pass it on
