Vanessa’s Revenge: Overture

— (Well, well, well, I've finally got you!)

Vanessa promptly forgot about her recent encounter with her sister Sheryl, brandishing her silver flute, prepared to give this insolent youth a lesson.

At that moment, a muscular man emerged from the entrance, blocking Vanessa's view. 

With a look of disbelief on his face, the man muttered something about "impossible...Garvit... must have been deceived by that boy!" and "Ah, what about my plan to ingratiate him...". 

Once the man had moved on, Vanessa was left dumbstruck —  the insolent archer lad had vanished?

— (No, if he had exited through the door, I would have seen it...) 

— (He must still be in the Quest Guild!)

With a light sigh, Vanessa recalled her three errant doe spirits to her side. After a brief word with the coachmen, she led her doe spirits into the Quest Guild.

Immediately upon entering, Vanessa saw a robust man in full armour approaching her.
