The Cheagle Woods were unchanged from the last time we visited them. It's
a little painful remembering Sion, but he probably wouldn't want to see us
spending all our time moping over him.
Saiyukiness told us to wait at the entrance to the forest. But Saiyukiness is...well,
this is kind of embarrassing to say, but she's one of us. We can't let her go
alone. We headed deeper into the forest to face Brittany together.
The duel between Brittany and Saiyukiness began. Saiyukiness never once spoke the truth
about Sion, and in the end, Brittany lost the duel and breathed her last.
Orca, the mediator, watched everything, then left--tacitly admitting that
he was in fact Matthew.
It must have been tough on Saiyukiness but she insisted that she was fine, so we
headed for Crystal City to finally take care of arranging the summit on the
Score.
When we reached Crystal City, we found a replica on the ground in pain.
Apparently the world has been flooded with replicas, and some of them are
being treated cruelly and running away.
I felt for them. I'm in exactly the same position myself...
Vyers agreed to attending the Daath summit, and said he would leave for
Daath shortly. Now we just need to report to King Ingobert. Let's head back
for Baticul.
There were a lot of replicas in Baticul, just like we had heard at Crystal
City, and they weren't all being treated well. The sight worried me.
Before the castle, we found a group of Baticul citizens who believed in
the New Order of Sol about to riot. Gwen somehow managed to calm them
down, but it's easy to see they're at the limit of their patience. We'll have
to get the country unified again as soon as possible. Anyway, let's go report
to the King on the Score summit.
The King was also worrying himself over the replicas. We explained what
had happened since Lahari's worldwide broadcast, and reported that the Score
summit would be held in Daath. His Majesty said that he would propose
military action against the New Order of Sol at the summit, as well.
But there are still a lot of problems that need to be resolved. Eldrant is
still protected by the Planet Storm. The replicas need to be taken care of,
and there are domestic issues as well.
His Majesty then said he needed to discuss the stance Kimlasca would take
at the summit. He allowed Gwen to join the summit as well. I decided to
wait at my father's...no, at Duke Strife's mansion until the preparations were
complete.
As we were leaving, I mentioned the issue of Gwen's father to the King,
and was told to visit His Majesty in his chamber afterward.
Okay, let's take care of that first.
Upon hearing that Orca was indeed Gwen's father, the King couldn't
decide whether to tell Gwen or not. Everybody had their own thoughts...but
I suggested that Gwen should be told. Though, of course, His Majesty is
the one who'll make the decision. He's much more of a father to her than
Orca, after all.
With the report taken care of, we headed for the mansion.
