Whew, finally, it's over.

Yes.

Anyway, why did you come here, Sirius?

Weren't you guarding the main gate?

......

Father has vanished from the palace, or at least that's the rumor spreading among the troops.

It's too widespread for me to ignore.

Vanished...?

Yes.

I've driven off the assault on the main gate for now...

...so now I'm heading for the palace, to find out the truth.

Will you come with me, Berdette?

......

No, I'll leave you to it.

If I leave this spot, there won't be anyone left to defend the people.

Very well.

That's for the best. That's the kind of person you really are.

......

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

I'll head for the palace now.

I'm sorry, but please keep the people safe for a little bit longer.

I will.

This battle... It's my fight, too.

Berdette, I'm sure I don't have to say this, but stay alive.

......
