(Knock, knock.)

Excuse me, sir.

According to our government sources,

the Akras Summoners’ Hall has taken control of Mistral’s southern region.

...Yes, so I’ve heard.

They’re becoming quite the formidable force in Grand Gaia, too.

So it would seem...

Paris, I want you to head to Cordelica.

I need you to keep me informed of any emerging developments on the frontier.

...Of course, sir. ...And as for my normal duties?

I shall explain the situation to the Emperor.

Thank you, sir. In that case, I bid you farewell.

......

...Oh, I didn’t see you there.

You never were one to knock, were you?

The Akras Summoners’ Hall and the Elgaia Federation Government... The Abel Faction is making its move...

......

...Hehe.

It looks like things are about to get interesting...
