Castle Crimea

"Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention, Brom and Nephenee." said Queen Elincia, who was also accompanied by Geoffrey and Lucia..

Brom and Nephenee did all the speaking while Heather and Asha were watching and listening carefully, with Asha being afraid for her life regarding her young age. Elincia also apologized to the group that the rebels attacked Ohma Village.

"It's not their fault they attacked Ohma." said Heather.

"No." Elincia said. "But I do not know who is to blame for all fo this."

"But we are happy to help you, Your Majesty." said Brom.

"You know, Lucia…" spoke Geoffrey, "Brom's story…from what he had said…it sort of confirms something we have suspected all along."

"Yes, Duke Ludveck of Felirae…he's sporting up a rebellion as we all speak out loud." Lucia said. "We really should have seen this coming."

Lucia had stated to the queen that there have been a number of indications that something like the rebellions of Ludveck were underway. Lucia and Geoffrey hoped then to uncover stuff more "tangible" and not rushed rumors. Lucia knew she should have told Queen Elincia sooner. Sooner than sooner, that was, according to Geoffrey.

"Lucia, no." said Queen Elincia. "I hold some responsibility in all of this mess. Due to my royal inexperience, the discontent for me is growing in the population of Crimea. And now innocent blood will be spilled now that a rebellion is rising…" Queen Elincia said as she cried. Lucia later sighed.

"You've always held Crimea's best, Elincia." Geoffrey said. "You were there for everyone, you cared for them all. And this is what the people do to you?!" asked Geoffrey. "Ignorant bastards who disrespect royal subjects…"

"Yes! Yes, Geoffrey!" yelled Queen Elincia. "After everything I have done for Crimea's people, and this is what they do to me."

"And we are going to fight, right?" asked Nephenee.

"Yeah!" yelled Asha. "We are going to fight off the people disrespecting the Queen right?"

"Our Queen Elincia should not be a target of disrespect." said Brom.

"Yes…our queen is our hero of Crimea. Someone who has been there for each and every citizen of Crimea. Our savior, I should say…" said Heather.

Elincia was brought to tears of happiness, knowing that she could fight anyone who would bring such disrespect to her or her noble country. She supported everyone's idea, and headed off into battle.

Meanwhile with beast tribe laguz members Lethe and Mordecai, they were watching everything from behind a bush with the tiger laguz members Luganda and Daelyn. As they were each questioning themselves about if they should help the queen, Lethe stepped out of it. But knowing that she needed to trust the beorc people, she decided to stay, thanks to the forcing efforts of Luganda. The beasts ran out to find the group, with Luganda being the only laguz shifted into her beast form.

Lucia was caught by Lethe and her fellow beast laguz, with Luganda shifting back into her humanoid form. Lethe questioned if Lucia and her soldiers and the queen herself were going to search for the enemy.

"Yes, Lethe, we are." Lucia answered. "But…" Lucia spoke as she was thinking.

"We can go back to Gallia and bring soldiers for you, if you like us too." said Luganda. "As a Tiger Laguz General, I can speak things out with the king and his nephew Skrimir."

"No, it's alright." said Lucia. "Unless you want to do it."

"I'll go back and get soldiers." said Daelyn as she was shifting into her tiger form.

"Oh…." said Mordecai. "Very well, then. Daelyn's going to bring back more soldiers from Gallia."

"Yes, Mordecai." said Lethe.

"Don't worry, Lucia." said Luganda. "I'll protect everyone. When we fight, it's with claws out." Luganda proclaimed as her claws were out.

"Then I don't see why you guys can't join us." said Lucia. "Alright. Come on." said Lucia.

As the beast laguz were shifting into their beast forms, the Pegasus Knight Marcia, who was accompanied by Nealuchi the raven laguz and Leanne the heron laguz, were following the group after Marcia heard from the ground that everyone would be fighting by Queen Elincia's side. There was a true battle for the queen awaiting everyone, young and old, beorc and laguz combined.
