Gwen and I were separated from the others and brought to Gwen's
room, inside the castle. We were going to be executed there by poison. But
then we heard Kitten singing a fonic hymn, and everyone showed up--how did they
get free? It probably would have been better to flee, but Gwen insisted on
going to see Uncle, to find out why he ordered our deaths. I feel the same
way. And besides, we have to see him to keep the war from getting restarted
as well.
Everyone went along with us. It'll be dangerous, but let's head for the
audience hall.
When we entered the audience hall, Lahari, Orca, and Camire were there too--
along with Gwen's wet-nurse.
There, Gwen learned that she was in fact her nanny's granddaughter. The
real Gwen was stillborn, which left the Queen consort herself in shock, so
Gwen's wet-nurse switched the dead baby for her own just-born
granddaughter.
Uncle ordered me and Gwen killed, saying he would then declare war on
Malkuth.
But he didn't look at us when he said it. I think he wasn't sure of
himself. He believed that Crystal's Score was still functional, and listened to
Lahari in order to fulfill the Score and bring about prosperity. Yes, it may be
perfectly natural to follow the Score, and it may be hard to even imagine
going against it.
But Uncle...is this really what you want?
Uncle didn't listen, and we were trapped--but then Jeremy came in and saved
us. Apparently he's the one who saved the others before. We left him to deal
with the situation and fled the castle. Now we've got to get out of
Baticul...that's our only way to survive.
As we left the castle, Pere the gardener and the White Knights from the
manor came out to help us. Thanks!
Soldiers kept coming after us, but the people of Baticul came to our aid.
They were all people who'd been helped by Gwen's policies of aiding the
weak. Gwen may not be a princess, but she's certainly done the job of one.
How come she's being thrown out of the castle?
When we had almost made it out of Baticul, General Goldberg charged after
us, not even hesitating to attack the townspeople in his way. But Jeremy caught
up with us and stopped him.
The townspeople helped us escape, and told us to flee through Inista Marsh
to the west, since the Zao Desert has fallen. Thank you all... I just hope
you don't suffer for letting us get away.
