...Are you going out alone?

I don't think that's any of
Your Highness's concern.

I want to know how things
are in the lower quarter, so
I'm just gonna go take a look.

The Council has decided to bring formal
charges of criminal conspiracy against Alexei.

The Knights are currently forming a strategy
for reentering the capital from Deidon Hold.

With all that aer in the city?
I doubt they'll get very far.

...Estellise is with
Alexei, isn't she?

How did... So you caught on,
huh? I wondered why you
didn't bring her up earlier.

What do you intend to do about her?

What do you mean?

...All those who carry the imperial
blood possess a certain power.

In most of us it is too faint
to be of use, but I have heard
that hers is extraordinary.

I'm sure it was for this reason that the
Council threw their support behind her.

Why are you bringing this up now?

Isn't this current disaster
being caused by her power?

So what if it is?

The Knights may have to...
You're aware that defeating
Alexei may not be enough.

That's not going to happen.

...Because you'll
do it yourself?

Flynn told me about you. That
you always try to carry far too
much on your own shoulders.

You can tell him that
we'll be just fine
without the help.

But why?

I thought I told you,
this isn't your concern.

That sword... Perhaps
you are just the person
it was waiting for.

Keep talking and I'll
try it out on you.

...Forgive me.
