Lonti and Myleene guided Cayna to a nobles-only boat waiting along the shoreline. Bypassing the sandbar, they boarded the chalky-white cruiser and sailed directly to the aristocratic district on the other side of the river. By this point, the alarm bells in Cayna’s mind were blaring. Kee was quiet as a mouse. If anything, it was her intuition talking.

“Is it just me, or are we headed somewhere really freaky…?”

They traversed the noble district’s main avenue and continued on a straight path down a fine cobblestone road. The trio now stood right in front of their destination: the gigantic building Mai-Mai and Cayna had visited the other day.

Accessible to only a select few, it was the towering symbol of the capital—the castle. Several blue spires rose up against the white exterior. Built by some guild long ago, these intimidating structures gazed down upon all passing on the road below.

Cayna looked back dejectedly, but white armor blocked her view. Shining Saber had managed to escape Arbiter’s clutches and catch up to them. His glare said she wouldn’t be leaving any time soon.

“So what’s up?”

“Nothin’ official. Just a casual meeting. The High Priest will be there, so you can relax… He did have a few complaints for His Majesty, though.”

“ThatdoessoundlikeSkargocatchyalater—”

“Don’t even think about running,” Shining Saber commanded.

Cayna surrendered with an exhausted sigh. Her shoulders fell dejectedly, and she allowed Myleene and Lonti to cheerfully lead her through the castle gates. After entering the castle and passing down a long, fixed hallway, the group climbed several flights of stairs and arrived at a neat little door.

Castles were extremely helpful back in the Game Era. Between taking on quests and dealing with thoroughly unpleasant NPCs, she honestly didn’t have a single pleasant memory of them. Cayna’s opinions on the matter were already set in stone, which disappointed her messengers Lonti and Myleene.

“Do castles bore you, Cayna?” Myleene asked.

“Huh? Oh, there were castles everywhere back in the day. I’m kind of used to ’em.”

“Aww, I wanted to tell you all about them,” she complained.

“Ah-ha-ha, sorry.”

Myleene’s shoulders drooped, and she sighed. Cayna apologized with a wry smile.

Lonti knocked on the door and informed the maid who peeked her head out that Cayna had arrived. She stepped back, and Myleene joined her. It seemed that the two would go no farther. The maid retreated into the room, and the door swung open a moment later.

The room had a large window and was modestly decorated. Even so, it was clean and had a large round table in the middle. Three figures were waiting inside, and they rose to greet her.

The first was Skargo. His arms were crossed sourly, but he relaxed when he saw Cayna.

The second was a keen-eyed man in the prime of life. He wore large priestly robes.

The last was a plump woman in a light green dress who smiled pleasantly.

Given the circumstances, it was obvious who the two strangers with Skargo were. Holding back a groan, Cayna straightened her posture, took a step backward, and gave a slight yet flourished bow.
