1 Chapter Eight…Aftermath of the First Battle
Edgar was resting, still feeling the effects of the wound he received, in his chambers. There was a knock at his door. "Come in." Rosa entered the room. "Why, hello, Queen Rosa."
"Just Rosa, please. I hope I'm not interrupting. Terra said you were still recuperating."
"You're not interrupting a thing, Rosa. I'm fine, just sore," Edgar shrugged it off.
"I—Cecil told me what happened during the battle. I want to thank you for saving his life."
"'Twas my pleasure. He is a very important person," Edgar stated.
"That he is. Thank you for saving him." The two exchanged a smile. "Well, I had better be going so you can get some rest. You are a very important person, too." With that, she quietly slipped out of the room. Edgar watched her leave, then closed his eyes. Soon he was fast asleep.
That next day, everyone gathered in the dining room for a wonderful feast. Sabin, of course, stuffed his face, making everyone laugh heartedly.
"Brother, must you act like such a pig at the table?" Edgar scolded him.
"Well, I have a hardy appetite, brother." Edgar simply rolled his eyes. "Feeling better?"
"Yep. I slept like a baby last night. Baron has the best beds in the world," Edgar said with a smile.
"I have to agree with you," Sabin stated.
"I'm glad you slept well," Cecil said.
After they ate, they went outside to examine the damage done to the castle and town. There was some minor damage to the front of the castle wall, but Cid said he would have it looking as good as new in no time. Then they went about looking over the town. There was some damage to the weapons and armor shops, but there wasn't anything that couldn't be repaired.
Later, back at the palace, Rosa was headed back to the throne room when she happened to overhear Edgar and Sabin.
"We must stop this before any innocent people get hurt," Sabin was saying.
"That demon can't be too far. He would need a secluded place. Somewhere where he could utilize a large number of forces, yet not be seen," Edgar stated.
"Maybe he's right under our noses. Remember? The remainder of the army that attacked us retreated to the forest just outside of here. Maybe that is where the demon has been hiding."
"Of course! We'll head out there and—," he was cut off as they heard the sound of an airship approaching. "That must be the Falcon."
"Sure took them long enough," Sabin grumbled.
Rosa quietly slipped away before the brothers could see her.
