"! Y-Your Grace! What has happened?!"
"… Where's Vitor."

"… Send the royal knights to look for them and bring a physician. As you can see the prince isn't the danger, go back for now."
"Uh, however, your Grace... The physicians are apprentices... the Ninth, what happened to her-"
"Then send word to Talmhach! It's not time to be curious!"
"!? Yes, Your Grace!!"
