1 Chapter Five…Getting Cold
Cecil invited his new allies to stay at the palace, and they happily accepted. Then they dispersed for a while. Rydia caught up with Terra. She had something she wanted to ask.
"Terra, can we talk?" she asked.
"Sure." The two girls went off to the den to talk.
Rosa, meanwhile, found herself looking for Sabin. She found him pacing the courtyard. "Hello."
He turned to face her. "Hello."
"I'm sorry if Edge made you upset. It's just his way." She had felt the need to apologize for the ninja's actions.
Sabin's face softened. "It wasn't your fault. And besides, I'm the same way, if you noticed. Maybe that's why there was a conflict."
He seems wise beyond his years. That's probably because of his royal bloodline, Rosa thought. Aloud she said, "Well, I am the queen, and what goes on has an affect on what people think of me and Cecil."
"Don't give it a second thought," Sabin told her. There was a pause.
"So, are you a king, too? I mean, if Edgar is your twin brother…"
"No, I'm not a king. Father's dying wish was for us to rule Figaro together, but I didn't feel I had it in me, so Edgar took my place as sole ruler.
"Oh," Rosa said. "So you left Figaro?"
"Yes. I went to train under the great martial artist."
"That sounds exciting."
"Wanna hear about some of our adventures?" Sabin asked. Rosa nodded eagerly.
Edgar gazed over the countryside on one of the towers of the castle. The stars were out, and the moon hung lazily in the endless sky. There was a slight breeze, and he shivered uncontrollably.
"Are you cold?" a voice said behind him. He turned to find Kain standing behind him.
"A little. I am used to the heat of Figaro, not the chill of Baron."
Kain sighed. "Quiet night, isn't it?" Edgar nodded. He heard Kain sigh. "What happens tomorrow?"
"Cecil and I decided to hold a meeting to decide. We got to stop Shefiel before it's too late."
