"I'm a bit shaken but alive and well, thanks to you. I owe you, miss Ivory." "Just who are you people??" The three bladesmen moved behind the Prince to overlook a corridor.
"You are the one who made an impromptu greeting gesture, so maybe you should explain yourself first?" The man considered Rosana's words.
"Fine. I am Alonse, Prince of the Kingdom of Baltica. I'm trying to bring justice and depose my vile Aunt, Lady Oikona of Aquiela, who murdered my father and usurped the throne just a week ago, when I was away on a diplomatic mission. These triplets," The trio of swordsmen, indeed identical, saluted with their fists over their hearts,
"Are Aman, Beman and Ceman, sons of renowned swordmaster Pyros. We managed to sneak through the waterways, but were expecting Oikona's men to show up any moment, so when you suddenly appeared I... did not want to take chances." "I'm Saria, and this is Rosana, and those are our companions, and it might sound a bit crazy but... we're basically travelers from another world. It's a long story, but we use magic to move ourselves near the pieces of an ancient artifact." "That's right! The artifact in question is a huge crystal orb, so it's small crystal shards we look after. Let me... the mirror! I forgot the mirror!?" Princess Rosana blushed and then turned pale in total embarassement and terror, respectively, but Saria pulled out both the brooch and the mirror from her robes.
"And to think you were the one who asked if we have everything..." "So wait, you just jump around places in search of some tiny crystal fragments? How do you even locate them?" Per demonstration, Princess Saria rubbed the mirror, and the surface shone with bright light, pointing north-westernish direction. Alonse furrowed his brows.
"That's basically the direction of where the throne room and the royal quarters are." "Does that mean your Aunt has the piece we look for?" "I don't know? She is a powerful magician and a well-known collector of various artifacts, it's possible that she could have such a shard in her collection." The bladesmen moved back.
"Your Highness, footsteps from the west. Unfortunately Lady Aquiela's men must've heard us." "Look, I have no quarrel with you and I apologize again for my rash assault, but I have to set some things right. We can search for the crystal once I depose Lady Aquiela." "Wait! Would you... welcome some help? It's not really our matter, this whole usurpation debacle, but you know this place more than anyone of us. My people know their way around fights, so I'm sure we can be useful to you." "Well... this is a welcome gesture. Deal. If you help us defeat my Aunt, I will hand over the crystal shard, if we ever find it, without hesistation."~~Player Turn 1~~
