"Good Morning, Raph. How you doing ? Is the maid work easier ?"

Raph: So-so, my king. Good morning to you too.

"And your hubby ?"

Raph: I visited him last night. He's doing okay. There's less and less bruise on his body. He's keeping himself in study for me. And I like it.

"Time will tell. Anyway, I asked for your presence early this morning. Because. I am planning to go for a world trip. And I want you to stay by the side of the one I will assign as my substitute. Can you do that ?"

Raph: But I thought we were supposed to accompany. You told us that you wanted our help.

"I am asking for your help here !! Listen ! I must find someone. A person I know will solve all of my trouble. But I must do it alone."

Raph: You are a king. You can't just disappear...

"Ohh ! She's back to being informal again. Look !!! I am the king, I do what I want. And I need your help to cover for me. If you cannot, I will simply dispose of you right now."

Raph: No need. I am here to help, my king.

"I guess your hubby's life's that important. Well, he will be the 'Assistant Butler' wile I'm away."

Raph: Okay....Could you tell who you are searching ?

"Hmm..That tone !? Don't tell me---"

Raph: Ce on ! Tell me where you are heading ?!

"Pen Wright...A pleasure once more to meet you. Although this time, you are not really here. So, you're still spying on me.."

Raph: ..You are strong. Really strong. Too strong. How did you know, Rouge ?

"Raph isn't the type to ask me this. She would most likely care about her hubby more than me, her king. That's how things are. And you've gotten an interesting power here. Does it work with anyone ?"

Raph: No. Only to people weaker than me in most aspects. But you, you are strong. And the energy I feel from you feels cold and dark. Like a certain legend. Are you perhaps linked to 'Ramattra Perfendis' ? Are you really a king as you might have pretended to be...?

"Wow ! She's insistent...Calm down, Pen !!! There's only us here. Why are you impatient ?"
