Revelations

"So… Your sister, Mystearica, attacked you, then accidentally caused a hyperresonance with Luke?" Duke Fabre asked.

"Yes… That seems to be what happened…" Van said.

"So Van… Should I go and look for him?" Guy asked.

"Yes, that would probably be a good idea… You go on ahead, and I'll get some Oracle Knights to help search for him" Van said.

"Oh I hope Luke is alright… He's never been outside the manor…" Suzanne said, looking extremely worried.

"Don't worry about it, Madame Fabre. Knowing Luke, he'll put his training with Van to good use" Guy said.

Natalia was outside the Meeting Hall door, listening to the conversation. 'Guy, you don't know how true your words are…' she though to herself.

"Okay. I'll leave the search to the two of you…" Duke Fabre said.

Both Guy and Van stood up, Guy heading for the west hall while Van headed for the south hall to exit the manor.

Guy stepped through the door to the west hall then nearly shot out of his skin when he came within about five inches from touching Natalia. "Gaah!!!" he cried out in fear from his phobia, shooting back against the door, barely able to breath from the scare, "D-Don't do that!!! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

"Oh knock it off Guy! I need to tell you something, but it's private. Can we talk in Luke's room?" Natalia asked.

"S-sure… just keep your distance, alright?" Guy said, finally calming down a bit.

"Okay then, come on" Natalia said, almost grabbing his hand, but then stopping herself to prevent further screams of fear.

The two of them headed out into the courtyard then north to Luke's room. When they were both inside, Natalia turned to Guy. "Now Guy, I need you to promise you won't tell Van about this, alright?"

"Uh… I'm not used to hiding things from Van, but sure" Guy agreed, getting suspicious.

"Okay. When you go to look for Luke, look around St. Binah and Engeve. You should find him on the Malkuth warship, the Tartarus, alright?" Natalia explained.

"Uh… Okay… But how do you know all this, Princess Natalia?" Guy asked.

"Oh, just call it women's intuition…" Natalia said with a smile, "That will be all. Now please, find Luke"

"Yeah, I'll do my best" Guy said as he turned and headed out of Luke's room.

'So… I wonder if Luke and Tear know what's going on…. Too bad I can't contact them like Asch can…' Natalia thought to herself, then headed outside.
