Flavius has been spending a lot of time with me lately. So much that he meets my brother, and they become sort of friends. It seems Ignis doesn't disagree with his presence, so I don't chase him away.

I've started contacting the soldiers and exchanging information with them one at a time. They will sooner or later come to the Palace. I'll organise a meeting and tell them what I expect from them. Those who have decorations can't just leave their job, but most of them were forgotten. They're in a hurry to accept and transform the most forgotten battle in Alba's history into an epic story.

Still, I first need to find out who's behind the attempts at my life. Even if getting rid of my baby and of Gratia means that Eastas becomes the next in line, I still can't believe the Princess would accept such a risk. There's more to the story, isn't there?

And there are other people involved, of course. She, alone, wouldn't be able to organise such a hunt.
