Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Did you enjoy the birthday song your crewmates sang for you? They rehearsed quite diligently. Keeping the surprise under wraps took a bit of work I might add. It was a pleasure to play for you. I haven't waved my baton as a conductor in such a long time. Is there anything else you want for your birthday? You're welcome to tell me. Today's your day to be extra special. I think I can be forgiven for spoiling you a little. After all, you're always there for us. I'm appreciative of your efforts every single day. Happy birthday, (Captain).
2	✔	A splendid birthday to you, (Captain). I celebrate the occasion as if it were my own birthday. And of course, I've once again gathered the musicians among the crew to put on a show! Consider it our gift to you. Although we first performed together only a year ago, we made sure to rehearse plenty this time and have improved greatly. Now feast your ears as I wave my conductor's baton and deliver you a birthday melody!
3	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). Many days and months have passed since I first joined your crew. To think it all started with you stopping me from declaring war on my homeland. And now I spend my days searching for a peaceful way to take back my country. You know, you've been serving as an inspiration in a lot of ways. Hahaha! It's true that you are no king or emperor, but a captain of a crew. But the way you unite people of differing backgrounds is an example of a good leader that all royalty should be. And despite our daily hardships, you do well to get us past them. I still have much to learn from you. Of course, I'm also here to help whenever you need me! May this journey of ours continue with you in good health and spirits.
4	✔	As it is your birthday, (Captain), we shall celebrate with a grand performance tonight. Together with your crew members, of course. They absolutely adore you. Reminds me of the friends I once had back home, though many of them perished in the plot to overthrow the empire... You should treasure your friends, (Captain). Losing mine was like feeling a part of myself die... I wouldn't wish that kind of suffering upon you. Heh... Sorry, I didn't mean to give you a life lesson. Or imply that you weren't already treating your friends well. Forget I said anything. In any case... Happy birthday. Another year older, another year wiser.
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain)! I have to say, your earnest journey is one that is most refreshing to see! However, it also brings me worry—after all, not everything at the end of a journey is what one had wished for. Something you had been looking forward to could end up being a disappointment when it is finally in front of you. But don't despair. The path you take until then will never disappear—rather, that is where the true value lies! I should stop before this turns into a full-on lecture... Well, but I know you will be just fine. You have my full support. If you ever need anything, ask me and I will be there for you!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Phew... Ah, (Captain). I didn't know you were out here. The party's still in full swing. No, I'm not tired. If anything I've never felt more at ease. To welcome in the new year in such peace while in exile... I attribute that all to you, (Captain). Words can't express my gratitude. But to always be protected would be a disgrace for the fifth imperial heir of Galgenia. You may call upon me to lend a hand whenever the need arises. Let us have a year of good fortunes.
2	✔	(Captain), happy New Year. What wonderful weather we have today. Perfect for a performance! With your permission last year, I invited musicians in the crew to get together and practice regularly for today... And the time has come to show you what a musical tour de force this crew is capable of! Well then, let us begin! Hark as the joyous melody echoes across the skies!
3	✔	(Captain), happy New Year. I cannot wait to see what we accomplish this year. Speaking of which... It is about time for me to begin. Oh, you haven't heard? To celebrate the new year, I'm seeing how long of a concert I can hold! It shall be many hours of entertainment! Hahaha, you're so pleasantly surprised, you're at a loss for words! Haase, too, was moved to the point of tears when I told her of this plan. Hm... Since I have just had breakfast, I will aim to finish performing around dinner. Now please, sit down and listen to the music!
4	✔	(Captain), happy New Year! May this one treat you well. Now, are you ready for our performance today? Hm? Why the furrowed brows? Hahaha! Are your nerves getting the better of you? I suppose you are supposed to be performing a solo today! There's no need to be so nervous. Remember, music is about enjoying yourself. Although... There are quite a few crew members who've been looking forward to hearing you sing... It's become the talk of the ship, actually... They might be disappointed if your performance were to fall flat... Oh! Um, never mind me! I was simply muttering to myself! Enjoy yourself, and be confident in your abilities! Now relax!
5	✔	How could this be... Hm? Ah, (Captain)... Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to another year with you... Me? It's nothing... No, I'm not feeling unwell. Heh... You can laugh all you want. To think that I, Katzelia Alois Gangnus, would oversleep on New Year's Day... Nothing like this has ever happened before... I haven't even seen Haase for the first time this year yet. It seems I've grown rather accustomed to the lifestyle of this crew. It's comfortable here... Rrg... Though I did say you could laugh, I didn't expect you to laugh this much. Good grief... I can't seem to keep my composure as the imperial heir when it comes to you. Now, it's about time I went to pay my respects to Haase for the new year. Would you like to come with me?

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Is that you, Haase? Oh, no, it's (Captain). I thought perhaps my sister had come to give me chocolate. When we were still in Galgenia, my sister would be there first thing in the morning every Valentine's Day, but for some reason this year she hasn't come... Did something happen? Maybe I unwittingly angered her in some way... But I digress. Can I help you, (Captain)? Wha? You come with a gift of chocolate? ... Er, well... Is it all right to take your chocolates before Haase's? Argh! What do I do...
2	✔	(Captain)? Have you seen Haase? No? I see... In that case... Hm? Today is Valentine's, right? Normally, she'd have come over already to hand me some chocolate... I presume she simply got lost on the way, which is why I'm looking for her now. ...! You have chocolate for me too, (Captain)? You have my thanks. How fortuitous I am to receive chocolate while searching for my sister... Oh, yes, yes, I'm very pleased with this... Many thanks, (Captain)! Well then, I'm off to look for Haase!
3	✔	(Captain)! Could it be... Valentine's chocolate for me? I do apologize for the trouble you must got through every year. I shall treasure this gift. Hm? Why are you giving me two boxes? What, this one is from Haase? What is the meaning of this? Why hasn't Haase come to give it herself? I was just about to head toward her location so she could hand it to me directly, like she always does! Don't tell me... She is bedridden because she has fallen ill! That must be it! There can be no other possibility! Haase, I am coming to nurse you back to health! Haaaaaseeee!
4	✔	Ah, are these chocolates for me? Why, thank you! I always look forward to receiving them from you! However... I'm afraid I must enjoy them later. I assure you, I'm eager to have a taste... But I couldn't bear to eat yours before I've had some from my sister, Haaselia. Once I've had hers, I'll be sure to partake in yours and let you know what I think. I'll stay here and wait for her. She should find me before long. I can picture her now, searching everywhere on the ship for me already! Hahaha! ... ... ... ...
5	✔	Haase? Ah, (Captain)... It's you. Is something the matter? A gift of chocolate! Thank you always, (Captain). I graciously accept. Hm? Me? No, I have no specific plans for today. Yes, I'll see you around then. Haase? Haase? Haase! Haaaaseee! Huff... Huff... I see... I understand now. She must be out in town buying ingredients to make chocolate...

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	(Captain), please take this. When I fled from my home of Galgenia, I had nothing but the clothes on my back. That's how I've been living my life in exile. Some days I ate. Some days I didn't. With what little coin I saved, I can't buy a gift that will bring a smile to anyone's face. There isn't a single thing that can match the chocolates you gave me before. You may take this as a selfish request on my part, but... Don't think of me now as an emperor-to-be, but simply as a man. And so without getting your hopes up, I present you with this box to open. A gift for White Day. If you're happy with it, then I'm happy too...
2	✔	(Captain), today's White Day. Allow me to thank you for Valentine's. Just like last year, I made these chocolate myself. I am confident in their taste. For something that I made, that is... You gladly accept? Splendid. Now to give this other box to Haase! I haven't seen her since this morning. She must be hiding somewhere in embarrassment. I'll take my leave now, (Captain)!
3	✔	(Captain), this is for you—your White Day gift. And this large box is for Haase. Could you take this to her? Sorry for saddling you with this burden. I cannot go myself, as I have something I must do. Originally, I planned to give it to her first thing in the morning. As soon as I got up, I waited outside her door. But noon came, and she still hadn't left her room. I could sense she was there, but she seemed hesitant to leave. She probably stayed up late and is tired... Which is why I gave up and left. Hm? What do I have to do today? I suppose I haven't told you yet. I'm holding auditions for a vocalist to sing the aria I wrote for Haase! I had hoped to invite Haase to join as a special judge... But now the whole thing can be a surprise once everything is set up! (Captain), do keep this a secret!
4	✔	Katzelia: (Captain), I have a thank-you gift for Valentine's, as well as a song to show my appreciation. The Demon Cat will handle the performance. I'm certain you'll find it satisfactory. Judgement: ...! Katzelia: Hm? Am I not gifting anything to Haase? Of course I will. I've prepared a song for her as well. But I want to give thanks to more than just my sister. After all, you're an important comrade who is irreplaceable to me! Hm... Judging by your expression, you don't fully believe me... Well, I did attempt to serenade Haase first, but she insisted that I prioritize you... Which is perfectly fine by me! I intended to shower you both with appreciation regardless! Now let us begin the show!
5	✔	Katzelia: (Captain), take this! This is in return for Valentine's! The chocolate you gave me was delicious. Once again, thank you. Hahaha! Of course you're my number one! Why the doubt, (Captain)? Choose: Oh, Haase! Katzelia: What! Katzelia turns to look but no one is there. He wonders if (Captain) had mistaken someone else for Haaselia. Katzelia: (Captain)! Where is she? Where's Haase? Haase! Haase? Katzelia's Voice: Haaaaseee!
Gift		Chocolate Biscuits

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Katzelia: Trick or treat! Judgement: ... Katzelia: ... No good? I thought as much. I thought Demon Cat's aspect and abilities might be well suited to this holiday... Lamentably this beast is not scary in the least. We were inundated with cries of "he's so cute" from the children. Aaaah! This reeks of shame! Come with me, (Captain)! If that's how it's going to be, then I'll don my own costume and take candy for myself!
2	✔	Katzelia: Is that you, (Captain)? What a surprise to see you in such an outlandish getup. Oh, right—today's Halloween. So you'll be going into town now? I've tried using Demon Cat to put the scare in others before, but it hardly ever works. A primal beast it may be, but I suppose cats just aren't that scary. Guess I'll forgo the festivities this year. Hm? You think I can get treats by letting the common folk pet Demon Cat? Hm... That does seem like a splendid tactic to gather up the many types of treats in town. Though I'm not too keen on the idea of an emperor taking treats from commoners, perhaps an exception can be made today... And who knows, it might even be fun! Shall we go then, (Captain)? Come, Demon Cat! Let the masses coddle you like the feline you are! Judgement: ...
3	✔	???: Trick or treaaat! Woooooo! Katzelia: Hahahaha! It was me inside all along! Did I scare you? It seems this monster outfit was effective. But what matters more than an outfit is enthusiasm. A primal beast is no exception to that. What do you have to say for yourself? Judgement: ... Katzelia: Hm... A demon cat like you wouldn't understand, I suppose. Strategy requires observing your quarries, and what they might deem frightful or adorable. Let us be off, Demon Cat! We shall be the ones of this crew to gather the most candy! Judgement: ...
4	✔	Judgement: ... Katzelia: No, Demon Cat. Watch me. RAAAWR! With bark to your bite, like that. Judgement: ...! Katzelia: No, not like that! You need to roar! RAAAWR! Strike fear into your audience! Judgement: ...! Katzelia: Sigh... That's enough. I would have fired you by now if you were a member of my orchestra. (Captain). Sorry to keep you waiting. I thought for certain I could have the demon cat roar convincingly, but it seems it is not to be. Well, it's good enough to attract attention. Perhaps we'll even have a few treats thrown our way. Now let's be off! Follow me! Judgement: ...
5	✔	Katzelia: Trick or treat! Passersby: ... Katzelia: Trick or treat! Passersby: ... Katzelia: Trick or treat! Passersby: ... Katzelia: Sigh... I give up. Doing this over and over again without surprising a single person is pure foolishness. Hm? Ah, (Captain). So you saw... Demon Cat told me it would scare someone this time, so I had followed along... But as you can see, it's been to no avail. Demon Cat must be the least terrifying out of all the primal beasts. What's that? You'll stay with me until we manage to scare someone? Usually I am resistant to acts of charity, but it is a festival today... This could be interesting. Very well! Then let's be off, Demon Cat! Be grateful! Judgement: ...!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Tonight is the main event! See here, (Captain), wipe that blank look off your face. How long have we been practicing this carol for? Are you nervous? Music is an essential component to an enjoyable evening. You don't have to be good as long as you have heart. My baton shall take command of this holy night!
2	✔	At long last, the holidays have come! Are you ready for the main event, (Captain)? A bunch of us got together and practiced singing carols just for today. Though we all come from different walks of life, everyone's being a lot more cooperative about it this year. It goes to show how much respect we have for you, (Captain). Hm? You believe it's because they trust me? Hm, an interesting take. It would be quite a blessing if indeed true.
3	✔	It's wonderful to have a performance the eve of the holy night—especially one that has improved in quality since last year's. Hahaha, your caroling was magnificent, (Captain). Your voice stood out amongst the choir. Now then... I believe it is time for me to retire for the evening. Hm? I suppose it is a bit early to sleep. But I have plans for the early morning. Other musically inclined crew members are going to help me wake Haase with a performance. After all, there can be no greater present than waking to a beautiful melody. This is meant to be a surprise, which is why I've asked everyone to keep it a secret. Yes... I can picture it now... Haase startling awake and breaking out into a smile! I hope you understand why I must take my leave now. But wait... What if I went to wake you after Haase? Hahaha! No need to be shy! I would be more than happy to bestow this early morning present upon you too!
4	✔	(Captain): ... Katzelia: Let us begin, Demon Cat. One, two, three, four! Judgement: ...! The sudden booming noise startles (Captain) wide awake. Katzelia: (Captain), what did you think? I was struggling with creating a new sound for our holy night performance today... But now I've finally found what I was looking for! I wished for you to be the first to hear it, which is why I rushed over immediately! My apologies for waking you! I hope you enjoy our performance later! Well then, I shall take my leave here. There's still plenty of time to sleep, so get some rest! Have a wonderful holy night!
5	✔	Katzelia: The atmosphere of the holy night is most certainly profound. The people's happiness and excitement are palpable... Although I do enjoy these feelings I'm sensing from strangers on the street, the familiar faces of the crew are also comforting. This sort of environment stimulates my music composition, and a delightful melody unconsciously comes to mind. With the high spirits of the holidays, everyone is sure to be able to feel music to an even deeper extent. So with that, (Captain), let your voice decorate this festive winter night! It's time to show the fruit of your training! You can leave the accompaniment to me! Come, Demon Cat! Judgement: ...! Now, (Captain)! Follow my direction and sing!

A Peasant's King

The so-called king of a town's slum requests the audience of the crew via a resident named Thomas. When the crew come face to face with the king, he takes out a single card, and in a blinding flash of light, the crew suddenly find themselves fighting monsters on a vast battlefield.

(Captain) and company have just completed a quick mission on an island. That's where a fated encounter is about to occur.

Vyrn: Whoo, that was easy!

Lyria: The requestor was all smiles too when we finished!

Vyrn: Hm?

The crew members are walking along a boulevard when they hear approaching footsteps. Soon they are surrounded by a gaggle of strangers.

Lyria: Um...

???: Call me Thomas. I hail from the town's edge. You're all talented skyfarers, I take it?

Vyrn: Uh, what?

Thomas: Got a proposal for—

(Captain) and the others stay guarded as they wait to hear what Thomas has to say, but a passerby interjects.

Passerby: Watch yourselves, skyfarers! Those no-goodniks are from the slums!

Vyrn: Slums? What's that all about?

Passerby: The squatters there make a living offa graft. Betcha they'll cozy up to you and then loot your bags.

Thomas: We do no such thing!

Passerby: Heh, who you trying to convince, huh?

The situation grows tense on the boulevard. Unsure of what they've gotten into, the confused crew members can only stand there.

Vyrn: So... I don't really get what's goin' on here, but is there something you need from us?

Thomas: Right, sorry... I was hoping to refer you for a job. King's looking for capable people.

Vyrn: Huh? What do you mean?

Passerby: Hey, I'm warning you, skyfarers! Lately it seems like they've come into a bit of cash...

Passerby: An' I bet they didn't do it on the up-and-up. You're gonna get suckered into some shady deal!

Thomas: No! We do not engage in that kind of stuff!

Lyria: E-excuse me...

Thomas: S-sorry... You must be so lost right now...

I'd like to hear more about this job.

Choose: I'd like to hear more about this job.

Thomas: You... You'll hear me out?

Vyrn: Sure! It's not like we're saying we'll do it, but it wouldn't hurt to hear the details!

Thomas: Thanks. That really helps us out.

Thomas: To be honest with you, we don't know the details either. King just told us to go round up strong folks like you.

Vyrn: You keep saying king, but does this place even have a king?

Thomas: I owe you an explanation but not here.

Thomas and his cohorts guide the crew to the slums. Their surroundings change drastically the further along they go.

Lyria: ...

Thomas: Are you shocked by how run-down everything is?

Lyria: Oh no, that's not what I was thinking!

Vyrn: Yep, it's shabby all right. Why would a supposed "king" wanna live here?

Lyria: Vyrn! That's not a nice thing to say!

Vyrn: O-oh yeah... Sorry about that...

Thomas: Haha! Don't worry about it. It's hard to believe, but things are a lot better than they used to be.

Thomas: Any improvement made to this area is all thanks to King.

Vyrn: Really? What kind of person is this King guy? Is he a real king?

Thomas: We started calling him King because he looks the part and ran with it.

Thomas: It's not like we know his real name anyway. And he never told us why he came here in the first place.

Thomas: All we know is, he just... appeared in town one day.

Thomas: And before any of us knew it, he was teaching us stuff.

Vyrn: Hmm... What kinda stuff did he teach you?

Thomas: Let's see... Okay, here's my story. Not long ago I was running moonshine with a few buddies under the baron's nose.

Lyria: Gasp! Isn't that a bad thing?

Thomas: Mm-hm. That guy back there was right about me. I still feel guilty about what I did.

Thomas: But back to the story.

Thomas: You need big barrels to make alcohol. I went out and found what I thought was good lumber—made the barrels myself.

Thomas: I'd heard whispers about some mysterious guy in town, then one day, poof, he's right in front me. Came to stop my moonshining ways.

Thomas: Somehow he knew I had a good eye for judging timber quality. Said I should be a wood dealer. He'd even set it all up for me.

Thomas: Things moved quickly from there. He was the bridge between me, the lumberjacks, and the carpenters.

Thomas: So now I'm brushing up on procuring and selling high-quality timber. Sure beats making booze in secret, I can tell you that.

Lyria: That's great! What an inspiring story!

Thomas: That's how he got our lives in order and showed us a better way to live.

Thomas: Doesn't really matter who said it first, but we started calling him King out of respect and friendship.

Vyrn: Gotcha. You've got me all excited to meet this guy!

When Thomas finally stops at their destination, however, the crew sees a dilapidated residence that can hardly be described as regal.

Thomas: My work's done here. King will tell you about the job.

The crew members are the only ones to pass through the entrance and into the gloom. The door closes behind them.

Vyrn: Guys? Do you really think a big shot named King lives in a shack like this?

???: Warmest welcomes to my palace.

A voice booms from within the room. The crew sees a diminutive figure sunk deeply into a chair.

???: And so a crew of mighty skyfarers appears before me. I heard the reports on how your crew operates.

Vyrn: Are you the one they call King?

King: The one and only.

The Harvin's affirmation of his status as a king is self-evident in his mannerisms.

???: Please have a seat.

Haaselia not in crew

A female Harvin steps in. (Captain) and the others sit down around a table at her beckoning.

Haaselia is a crew member

Another figure appears from behind King, causing the crew to do a double take.

Lyria: Haase!

Haaselia: How do you do?

Vyrn: I was wondering where you'd gone... What are you doing here? Do you know King?

Haaselia: You should hear the explanation from King himself. I am only attending him.

Haaselia says nothing more, and the crew members sit down around a table at her beckoning.

King: I assume you have come to hear about the job I am offering to capable skyfarers.

King: But first I have something to show you.

King produces a card and places it on the table for everyone to see.

The card is quite worn. It's hard to make out what's drawn on it, but that's not the only peculiar thing about it.

Vyrn: Whoa... This card...

Lyria: I can feel a great power coming from it...

Vyrn and Lyria sense an indescribable power lurking within the card.

King: Well, well. Your intuition is sharp. I feel safe placing my trust in you, and I hope you will all accompany me somewhere.

Vyrn: Hm? But we just got here. Where are we going now?

(Captain) and company start to climb to their feet.

King: There is no need to get up. From here we shall be diving into this card's dormant memory.

Vyrn: Uh, the card's what?

They glance down at the card on the table. It's faint at first, but a white light emanates from it and gradually increases in intensity.

Lyria: Eeeek!

Squinting through the glare, the crew is presented with an astounding sight.

Vyrn: Whoa... Where are we?

The room in the slums is gone, replaced by a sweeping wasteland of smoke and embers.

Lyria: It almost looks like...

Primal beasts glide through the sky while monster hordes stalk the ground. The crew holds its collective breath.

Vyrn: Where's King? He was just with us a second ago!

They quickly scan the area, but King is nowhere to be seen.

Lyria: I wonder where he went?

Monster: Groooar!

Vyrn: Yipes! Here come the monsters!

Vyrn: This all too confusing, but we gotta deal with this first!

The situation is a mess, but the only course of action open to the crew is to face the oncoming horde.

(Captain) prepares to meet this challenge head-on, weapon at the ready.

Back to top

His Majesty's Petition

The crew defeats the monsters and are returned to the slums where the king explains that a malevolent primal beast is sealed in the card, replaying memories of the War in order to learn how to destroy the Sky Realm. The crew agrees to help the king stop that from happening.

A brutal battle unfolds between the crew and foe after foe.

Lyria: Huff... huff... I think it's calmed down a little?

Vyrn: Looks like we got most of the monsters around here. What now, (Captain)?

We need somewhere to regroup.
Let's make a break for it.

Choose: We need somewhere to regroup.

Vyrn: Right-o! Let's find a place to hide out!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Let's make a break for it.

Vyrn: Yeah, but to where? Oh well, we'll figure it out as we go.

Continue 1

Vyrn: So any ideas on how we got from the inside of some shanty to here?

Unsure of what else can be done, the crew members continue to fell any foes they encounter but find nothing to help explain their current predicament.

Vyrn: Where'd that little King go? You think he got attacked by monsters somewhere?

Lyria: Mm... I'm worried.

Lyria: Oh! What's that over there!

Lyria points to a cluster of white light hovering just off the ground.

Vyrn: What in the world... Careful. It's probably a monster.

The light is dim at first. Then it gives off a burst of luminescence.

Vyrn: Argh! I'm blind!

Vyrn: Wha? We're back at King's place!

Lyria: What just happened?

Vyrn: Beats me. Maybe we dreamed the whole thing...

Lyria: King!

A calm King is planted firmly in his chair as if nothing had transpired.

King: You put on quite a display of your fighting prowess.

Vyrn: You sent us to that place, didn't you?

King: Indeed I did.

Vyrn: You can't just zip us around out of the blue! Someone could get hurt!

King: ...

What was that place?

Choose: What was that place?

Lyria: I want to know too. It looked like...

King: What you experienced was the end of the War.

Vyrn: Huh?

(Captain) and the others feel shivers run down their spines.

King: A change of venue is in order. We can continue speaking there.

King hops off his chair, prompting the crew to immediately tense up.

Lyria: ...

King: Haha. I praise you for staying on your toes, but this time we shall simply be stepping outside.

King: A meal will do us good. Follow me.

Haaselia not in crew

King exits the room with a grin, followed closely by the woman who seems to be his attendant.

Haaselia is a crew member

King exits the room with a grin, followed closely by Haaselia.

King's mention of the War still rings in their ears as (Captain) and company file out behind their hosts.

Resident 1: Yo, King! How's everything going?

Resident 2: Hi, King. It's a hot one today.

Resident 3: Get a load of this, King. My grandkid started workin' at the smithy makin' nails and blades.

Resident 3: It's all thanks to the advice you gave that the little'un has a good job now.

King: Hardly. He accomplished it himself through natural talent. It runs in his fingers.

The crew observes from behind as many residents greet King. Vyrn and Lyria whisper to each other.

Vyrn: When I found out he was the one who kicked us onto that battlefield, I thought he was a real piece of work, but...

Lyria: Yes. A lot of people here seem drawn to him.

The crew stays guarded against King's veiled motives, but they're not sure what to make of all the happy faces turned King's way.

They all finally arrive at a street-corner canteen, and everyone has a seat inside.

Lyria: Everyone in this area seems so grateful to you.

King: I acknowledge it was not my place to meddle in their lifestyles, but I was allowed to do so.

King: This canteen was able to open thanks to the sudden increase of workers in the area. The nights really come alive.

Lyria: That's wonderful!

King: Oh, this is nothing to write home about just yet.

Food is shortly carried out.

King: The menu here is meager at best. Acquiring fresh, quality ingredients is an expensive, not to mention difficult, undertaking.

Simple dishes consisting of dried meat, beans, and root vegetables sit on the table.

Vyrn: Hmm... Looks tasty enough for me.

King: But I wish they could have more.

Vyrn: I think that's great and all, but why are you doing this? What's your game?

King: Thomas probably mentioned this to you, but I have never spoken a word about my past.

Vyrn: Yeah, I remember that.

King: I will only say that helping the poor gain wealth also benefits my cause.

King: But it isn't enough. I want to make the residents still more affluent.

Vyrn: Affluent, huh? How rich do you want them to be?

King: How rich? Hmm... Rich enough to hear the joy in music for instance.

Lyria: Did you say music?

King: Consider it a metaphor. Come. It is time to eat.

Vyrn: Yeah! I'm starving!

Vyrn: Huh?

Haaselia not in crew

???: Mm-mm... Gulp.
I detect nothing.

???: Enjoy your meal, King.

King takes the partially eaten meal from the girl. He begins to eat the rest unperturbed.

Vyrn: Um, what are you doing? You don't have to eat from the same plate, you know. We got enough plates to go around.

???: I was tasting for poison.

Vyrn: P-poison? Why would you have to taste for poison?

King: Pay no heed. It's a way of life.

???: Yes, just a way of life.

???: Oh, King, you have a spot of sauce there.

The girl wipes King's mouth with a napkin.

Vyrn: Say, who is she anyway?

King: Did I not introduce her before? This is my younger sister. The people have taken to calling her Princess.

Princess: Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Go to "Continue 2"

Haaselia is a crew member

Haaselia: Mm-mm... Gulp.
I detect nothing.

Haaselia: Enjoy your meal, King.

King takes the partially eaten meal from the Haaselia. He begins to eat the rest unperturbed.

Vyrn: Um, what are you doing? You don't have to eat from the same plate, you know. We got enough plates to go around.

Haaselia: I was tasting for poison.

Vyrn: P-poison? Why would you have to taste for poison?

King: Pay no heed. It's a way of life.

Haaselia: Yes, just a way of life.

Haaselia: Oh, King, you have a spot of sauce there.

Haaselia wipes King's mouth with a napkin.

Vyrn: Say, how do you know Haase anyway?

King: Did I not explain before? She is my younger sister. The people have taken to calling her Princess.

Lyria: Really? You're Haase's older brother?

Haaselia: It's nice to see you all again.

Continue 2

Vyrn: Y-yeah...

King: Let us return to the business at hand.

King places the card on the table. (Captain)'s face stiffens.

King: A primal beast is sealed within this card. I must warn you it is especially ferocious.

Vyrn: An actual primal beast?

King: Furthermore it is using a certain process to refine its power—soon it will manifest in our world to exterminate all skydwellers.

Lyria: What kind of process?

King: The very one you saw earlier: the War.

Vyrn: Wait, wait! How's that possible? The War happened, like, forever ago!

King: Yes, that event occurred far back in history. But what you experienced was neither dream nor illusion. It was a memory.

Lyria: A memory...

King: This primal beast is constantly repeating the memory of the War, so that it may learn every facet of warfare.

King: It is preparing for the next grand-scale conflict on the horizon.

Lyria: Oh no...

King: The moment the primal analyzes all the knowledge it needs, it will manifest.

Vyrn: What can we do then? Can we stop it somehow?

King: That is why I am asking for your help. Enter into the memory and prevent the primal's forthcoming revival.

King: You will be the outliers of the battlefield.

Vyrn: What's that mean?

King: As I said the primal must learn all there is about warfare before it can manifest.

King: If you enter the memory and begin laying waste to the enemies on the battlefield, that is more data for the primal to process.

King: Thus you would be buying time for our world.

Vyrn: Oh, okay...

Vyrn: But doesn't that mean we'd have to fight nonstop?

King: Well, you mentioned earlier feeling a power emanating from the card.

King: If the primal beast deems it impossible to absorb all knowledge about this battle, I expect it will give up, and that power will disappear.

King: I can't give you a concrete number, but I doubt it will take less than several dozen fights.

King: I apologize for not providing a clear explanation when I sent you into the memory earlier.

King: The thing is, this card is so powerful that it always carries the risk of being abused.

King: Before I could disclose the truth, I needed to ascertain your reliability.

King: I hope you can forgive me.

Lyria: When you put it that way, you have nothing to apologize for.

Vyrn: Yep! Totally understandable!

King: An elderly fortune teller entrusted me with this card while I was traveling.

King: I have been searching for competent fighters ever since. At long last I have found them in your crew.

King: Will you lend your strength to ensure peace reigns in our skies?

(Captain) and company cannot help but respect King for his dedication to the safety of the Sky Realm even as he lives modestly in the heart of the slums.

Leave it to me.

Choose: Leave it to me.

Vyrn: Yeah! We got it covered!

King: Your courage is a beacon of light in these dark streets! I wish you the best of luck. My meager capabilities are at your disposal as well.

A primal beast slumbers in a card.

The crew joins forces with King so that the seal on this terrible force may never be broken.

The Augmented Fifth

As (Captain) and company battle monsters on the field, the king reminisces about his past. His real name is Katzelia, fifth imperial heir of the Galgenia Empire. He spends his time as an orchestra conductor, having little to no interaction with the empire's politics, but those peaceful days draw short when the emperor falls ill.

A primal beast is sealed within a card, reiterating the memory of the War in order to discover a method for certain victory.

Should the primal complete its assessment and manifest in the world, the entire Sky Realm will face a deadly threat.

But if a powerful outlier that can't be analyzed were to be injected into the memory, its approaching manifestation will be delayed indefinitely.

Acting as that powerful outlier, the crew jumps into the memory and engages in battle with everything on the line.

Vyrn: Nice! Now, (Captain)!

Vyrn: Lyria!

Lyria: Got it! Summoning now!

As the crew fights heroically, King sits atop a small hill nearby, watching it all unfold.

King: Hahahaha! Just listen to that requiem of haunting cries and trembling earth! This is what war is all about!

Haaselia not in crew

Princess: Those skyfarers are quite strong.

Haaselia is a crew member

Haaselia: You have found yourself an excellent group of players.

King: Indeed. Even our fatherland couldn't produce stalwarts of their caliber.

King: I have delivered what you wanted, Demon Cat.

???: ...

King: With this I draw one step closer to achieving my objective.

???: Katzelia Alois Gangnus. Well done, my son. Your recital the other day was magnificent.

???: The leaders of the smaller nations were most astounded to see an imperial prince take up the conductor's baton.

Katzelia: I am unworthy of such praise, Your Imperial Majesty.

Emperor: It's been two years since your mother, the third empress, was claimed by illness.

Emperor: Then my beloved daughter—your elder half sister who was third in line for succession—also departed from this world due to illness one year after.

Emperor: The Galgenia Empire has suffered many deaths over these last few years.

Emperor: However, I daresay your symphonies will dispel the dire melancholy besieging this land.

Katzelia: Nothing brings me more joy than knowing that you are satisfied with my performances.

Emperor: Yes, they are magnificent indeed, but... Isn't it high time to learn the finer points of war and politics?

Emperor: One of my six children has sadly been lost. I want the remaining five to come together and exemplify our empire's dignity.

Katzelia: The empire's dignity lies not in the swinging of a sword or spear.

Emperor: Pray tell, Katzelia, what would you swing instead?

Katzelia: I shall swing a conductor's baton.

Emperor: Heh, cheeky lad. Your indifference to political affairs shows me that you take after my little brother rather than me.

The Galgenia Empire consists of several smaller countries.

Despite being the fifth imperial heir, Katzelia has no interest whatsoever in government or the military.

Katze is returning from his audience with the emperor when he runs into his uncle, the archduke, and his eldest half brother, the first imperial heir.

Katzelia: Greetings to you both, dear uncle, dear brother.

First Heir: Ho there, Katze. What brings the empire's vaunted maestro here today?

Archduke: Did His Majesty summon you in regards to your concert? It was a lovely affair.

Katzelia: I am glad you enjoyed it.

Archduke: However, you're well into your majority now. Do you still find politicking unworthy of your attention?

Katzelia: I just had a conversation with Father in which he claimed I took after you.

Archduke: Hah-hah-hah! Me of all people! Coming from His Majesty, I would think he sees me as a hedonist.

Katze's uncle isn't involved in politics, but rather investments, philanthropy, and other contributions to the empire.

The precedent set by his uncle greatly inspired Katzelia to become a musician.

Katzelia: I am not cut out for politics. You, Brother, are the person best suited to ascend as the next emperor.

Katze's half brother is the eldest son of the first empress. As the first in line for succession, his path to the throne is more or less assured.

Conversely, Katzelia is fifth in line. Barring a disaster of epic proportions, he won't get a chance to rule.

First Heir: You shouldn't speak so frivolously. His Majesty is still in good health.

Katzelia: Forgive me. I implore you to disregard my impropriety. What I meant was I intend to use my music to help the empire. The orchestra is doing quite well.

Aside from Katzelia, who is the conductor of the Galgenia Symphony Orchestra, the entire ensemble is comprised of commoners.

Katzelia: That's all for today. Next time we'll continue with the third movement.

Orchestra Member 1: Katze! Hey, Katze!

Katzelia: What is it?

Orchestra Member 1: Heard you talked to His Imperial Majesty. Did he happen to say anything about my improv solo during the concert?

Orchestra Member 1: I was just thinking, you know... if people started talking about it, maybe it'd get stuck in his head or something...

Katzelia: He said that was the only part he couldn't stand, so, in a way, you got your wish.

Orchestra Member 1: H-he did?

Katzelia: Pffft...

Katzelia: Hahaha! 'Tis a jest! He praised your performance for its heartfelt passion.

Orchestra Member 1: Sigh... That was harsh for a joke, you know...

Orchestra Member 1: You're not what I'd expect from someone born into the imperial family.

Katzelia: Oh? Those are words of treason. I hereby sentence this criminal to stay after and continue practicing.

Orchestra Member 1: Nooo! That's cruel and unusual punishment!

Orchestra Member 2: Teehee, Katze is such an amusing fellow.

Orchestra Member 3: You won't find an imperial prince like him anywhere else. Maestro here is our empire's pride and joy.

Katzelia: Hah, laugh it up while you can.

Katzelia, the fifth imperial heir, builds rapport by joking around with his orchestra mates as if he too were a commoner.

But those days of bliss come to an end at the same moment the emperor collapses.

Stormy Premonition

With the death of the emperor, the first imperial heir ascends the throne and begins to root out suspected conspirators involved in various deaths of the imperial family, going so far as to imprison the fourth imperial heir. Katzelia's orchestra members are murdered from drinking poisoned wine, but he avoids the poison when he's distracted by a voice coming from a card his mother used to keep. Spurred by the fury of losing his parents and his friends, Katzelia vows to uncover the truth.

Katze takes his place beside the emperor's sickbed.

Katzelia: I am here, Your Majesty. How do you feel?

Emperor: It hasn't been so bad today. Katze, has anything unusual taken place?

Katzelia: No, nothing in particular. The empire is running smoothly.

The emperor has been bedridden for a month. He's unaware that someone has assassinated the second imperial heir in his absence.

Death came in the form of a stab wound to the abdomen, but neither the assassin nor the weapon has been identified. The castle is in tumult.

This information is withheld from the emperor, as it would surely be the final nail in his coffin.

The spate of deaths over the years has naturally spawned theories about a conspirator in the shadows.

Haaselia not in crew

???: Welcome home, dear brother. How fares our Father?

Haaselia is a crew member

Haaselia: Welcome home, dear brother. How fares our Father?

Katzelia: It's good to be home, Haase. He's regained some color in his complexion today.

Haaselia Alois Gangnus is Katze's blood sister, the youngest heir of the emperor's brood of six.

Once the sixth in line for succession, the deaths of the second and third imperial heirs have brought her that much closer to the throne.

Katze finds himself in the same precarious situation.

Haaselia: I feel uneasy, Brother. What is to become of the empire?

Katze embraces his sister to quell her shivers, gently stroking her hair.

Katzelia: There's nothing to fear, little Haase. Father will bounce right back before you know it.

Haaselia: You are the only one I can rely on, Brother...

But just a few days later, the emperor draws his final breath.

The first imperial prince takes his father's place, overseeing an empire in turmoil.

New Emperor: The cancer eating away at this empire must be excised. We cannot afford to hesitate.

Male Citizen: I swear I don't know anything! I was only hired to clean the castle!

New Emperor: Guilty.

Female Citizen: Why was I brought here? I had nothing to do with the assassination of the second heir!

New Emperor: Guilty!

If so much as a shadow of suspicion falls on anyone, they are punished without mercy or fair trial by the new emperor.

Hard evidence is eventually produced implicating Katze's older sister, the fourth imperial heir, as the culprit. She is immediately imprisoned.

Katzelia: Brother! What is the meaning behind our sister's imprisonment!

New Emperor: The investigators searched her room and found the dagger used to kill the Second.

Katzelia: I won't believe it! Yes, our sister is strong-willed, but she is also a kind person.

New Emperor: We were simply unaware of the bad blood between the Fourth and the Second—the exact opposite of your close relationship with Haase.

Katzelia: But won't you at least grant her a fair trial with a proper defense?

Katzelia: Recently you've taken to doling out guilty verdicts in quick succession... Is that the right course of action?

New Emperor: Stop talking like a fool. That woman is a snake. You're falling right into her trap.

New Emperor: Besides, the mood in the empire has finally stabilized.

The citizenry is shocked and saddened at the revelation that the Fourth is the true criminal.

And yet they seem to accept the fact readily, if only to provide a resolution to the tragedy that rocked the nation.

Katzelia: (What a mockery.)

Katzelia: I have an orchestra rehearsal to run, Brother. That's all I have to say for today.

New Emperor: I look forward to the performance at the coronation ceremony. One last thing, Katze.

Katzelia: Yes?

New Emperor: You will address me as "Your Imperial Majesty."

Katzelia: ...!

New Emperor: It wouldn't set a good example to call me "Brother" forever, don't you agree?

Katzelia: As you wish.

With the assassination incident wrapped up, a new date for the delayed coronation is finally set.

The Galgenia Symphony Orchestra spends every waking hour rehearsing for the performance.

Katzelia: (My brother has changed. He used to be more levelheaded...)

Katzelia: Hm? Are we missing someone today?

Casting a quick glance over the ensemble, Katze immediately realizes the absence of a familiar face.

Orchestra Member 1: Um... Her father was found guilty by you-know-who... and executed...

Katzelia: ...!
That can't be!

Having lost the head of their household, the surviving family members hide at home rather than suffer the stares of their neighbors.

After rehearsal, Katze and a steward secretly pay a visit to the absentee's house.

Orchestra Member 2: Katze! You're an imperial prince! Why would you come here, especially without bodyguards?

Katzelia: That doesn't matter. Tell me about your father...

Orchestra Member 2: Sob... Daddy... My dad, he... He's not some kind of schemer!

Orchestra Member 2: But they still accused him of being an accomplice in the murder of the second heir... What is my family supposed to do now?

Katze takes out a gemstone ring and places it in the woman's hand.

Steward: What are you doing, Lord Katze?

Katzelia: You stay out of this.

Orchestra Member 2: What is this ring for?

Katzelia: A memento from my mother. It will ease the burden for you to move elsewhere.

Orchestra Member 2: I couldn't possibly take something that important from you!

Katzelia: It's fine. I'll have a ship prepared at port. Have your family gather their belongings with haste.

Orchestra Member 2: K-Katze... I really... I can't thank you enough!

Katzelia: Don't thank me... I'm sorry this is all I can do for you...

Katze sees the family off as they head for the port.

Steward: To bequeath your mother's ring to a person of such a low status...

Katzelia: It matters not. This card is all I need.

Katze takes out a card from his pocket.

Whatever was drawn on the card is now faded beyond recognition.

Steward: Your heirlooms were that ring and this card.

Steward: But what purpose do they serve? Neither seems particularly valuable...

Katzelia: Their value comes from improving the lives of the people. Mother would be overjoyed to know that.

Katzelia: My inheritance from her has served its purpose, even if this card has no value at all.

Katzelia: I'm far more concerned with the course this empire is taking and what will become of it.

The day of the coronation approaches. Preparations everywhere are in their final phase, including those of the symphony orchestra.

Katzelia: That'll do for today. Make sure to rest well before the big day.

Orchestra Member 1: Katze! I come bearing refreshments!

The man promptly whips out a bottle of wine to the cheers of the ensemble.

Katzelia: Where did you get that?

Orchestra Member 1: Don't know who sent it, but it came with a message attached that said, "I look forward to the performance."

Katzelia: I see...

Aromatic burgundy sloshes around the brim of each glass. Katzelia raises his own glass in a toast after everyone else has been served.

Katzelia: Here's to a top-class performance worthy of the expectations held by our emperor and fellow countrymen. A toast to the glory of Galgenia.

Orchestra Members: To the glory of Galgenia!

As one, the orchestra partake of the wine.

Katzelia, just a sip behind, brings the glass to his lips.

???: ...

Katzelia: ...!

Orchestra Member 1: Phew! That's the good stuff!

Orchestra Member 1: Hm? Something wrong, Katze?

Katzelia: I thought I heard someone's voice just now. It was quite close...

Katzelia turns his head this way and that. He instinctively pulls out his card and looks at it.

Orchestra Member 1: Bwaha! Don't tell me the card talked to you! Well, you always were a card yourself—

Orchestra Member 1: Urrrgh! Cough... Hack...

Suddenly the orchestra members start to claw at their own throats in obvious pain. Retching of black blood soon follows.

Katzelia: Wh-what's happening? Hey!

Orchestra Member 1: Katze... Help...

The wine drinkers, lying in their own blood, will not rise a second time.

Katzelia: I don't... understand...

Imperial troopers rush to investigate the scene, cordoning it off from Katzelia. The investigators have to snap Katzelia out of his daze to get his attention.

Imperial Trooper: Lord Katzelia, the evidence we've gathered proves that the wine was laced with poison.

Imperial Trooper: Does that have any significance to you?

Katzelia: No—

Orchestra Member 3: You dragged us into this!

Katzelia turns quickly to face a few members who are still alive. They glower at him.

Imperial Trooper: It seems fortune favors those who don't drink.

Orchestra Member 3: You had it made as royalty, but you insisted on hobnobbing with us commoners. Now look what your family drama has done! They're dead because of you!

Katzelia: ...

Imperial Trooper: Stay your foul tongue, knave! Such language shall not be directed at an imperial prince!

But Katzelia also blames himself.

Given the recent assassination, it makes sense that the poison was meant for him.

Haaselia: Welcome home, dear Brother. It seems you have had a bad day...

Haaselia looks worriedly at Katzelia. Evidently she has heard the news.

Katzelia gives his sister a hug and a quick peck on the forehead.

Haaselia: It's so scary... They still haven't caught the perpetrator...

Katzelia: Don't worry. I'll keep you safe from all the evils in this world.

First the death of his mother, and then the death of his father. His friends were the next to go.

All Katzelia has left is his little sister.

Katzelia: I swear I will unmask the one attempting this coup.

In his chest beats a heart of wrath.

Back to top

Time of Judgment

Katzelia is accused of assassinating the former emperor and sentenced to be punished. In this dire moment, Katzelia forms a pact with the primal beast Judgement, who helps him escape death. After learning that the person manipulating the new emperor is their uncle, Katzelia and his sister, Haaselia, are forced to flee into exile.

The Fifth makes an impassioned speech in front of a squadron of imperial troopers.

Katzelia: Murder runs rampant in our empire! Killings that extend beyond the death of the second heir!

Katzelia: The late emperor who we thought was claimed by illness, the passing of the third heir a year before that, and even my mother two years back.

Katzelia: I highly doubt the purported causes of their deaths!

The accusatory tone in Katze's aggressive words sparks a commotion among the soldiers and retainers present. But Katze doesn't care.

Katzelia: The criminal's weapon of choice is poison, the potency of which was most likely tested on animals beforehand!

Katzelia: Check the records of the public health office! Do not allow a single animal autopsy report to go unread!

Katzelia: The one who is plotting to overthrow our empire is angered that I still breathe! They will surely strike at me again!

Katzelia: I am willing to use my life as bait! Therefore, comrades, it is not my safety but the capture of the culprit which I implore you to prioritize!

Once a fickle imperial prince in love with music, Katze now commands troops with authority.

But late one night, the door to Katze's room is violently bashed in.

Soldiers pour into the room, led by his elder half brother, the new emperor.

Katzelia: What is the meaning of this, Your Imperial Majesty?

New Emperor: Little brother Katze... You are hereby under arrest, accused of murdering the symphony orchestra musicians.

Katzelia: Preposterous!

New Emperor: The fact that you did not drink the wine is proof alone. Obviously you wouldn't knowingly poison yourself.

Katzelia: That is absurd! What reason would I have to murder my own orchestra members!

New Emperor: Well, let's go through your thought process.

Katzelia: My thought process?

New Emperor: I was going to ignore you since you never showed an interest in politics, but you were just hiding your fangs!

New Emperor: Oh, what a sly, usurping beast you are! Currying favor with the masses by taking command of the military forces!

Katzelia: Ignore me? Usurping...

Katzelia: No! Brother, you couldn't have—

New Emperor: I told you to address me as "Your Imperial Majesty!"

Katzelia: Please tell me it's a lie, Brother! Father... Mother... Why did you...

New Emperor: Humph.

New Emperor: The former emperor planned on skipping over me to another heir despite the fact that I was first in the line of succession.

Katzelia: ...?
I had heard no such thing.

New Emperor: I will not bother arguing with you.

The soldiers level their guns at Katze.

Katzelia: Damn you, louts! You're pointing your guns at the wrong person!

But Katze's words fall on deaf ears. These soldiers are already firmly entrenched in the new emperor's camp.

New Emperor: I view that as intent to resist.

Katzelia: You planned to kill me from the start...

Katzelia: (He's taken everything from me! He should be the one on trial! If only I had the power to pass judgment!)

The soldiers place their fingers on the triggers.

Katzelia: Wh-what? My card... is glowing?

???: ...

Katzelia: What!

???: My name is Judgement. These winds carry the burden of adjudication. A tempest of verdicts.

Judgement: I can give you the power to convict, if you so desire.

New Emperor: Wh-what is this phantasmal cat?

Katzelia: You're a primal beast, aren't you? What is it you seek?

Judgement: For you to make a pact with me. I can grant you power.

Katzelia: Power, you say?

New Emperor: A demon has entered these castle walls! All soldiers, exterminate it immediately!

Judgement: Know that my power requires an equivalent excha—

Katzelia: Do it!

Judgement: ...

Judgement: Then you agree to the pact?

Katzelia: I'll prepare whatever this equivalent you're asking for is afterward! Just give me the power to judge these men!

Katzelia: And do it quickly!

Judgement: It is done. May the storm serve you well.

New Emperor: The demon disappeared? What was that all about?

The emperor and his retinue are still perplexed by the sudden coming and going of the primal beast.

Katzelia: Brother...

New Emperor: ...!

Katzelia: Court is now in session. The hour of judgment is upon us. I trust you are prepared?

New Emperor: Wh-what?

New Emperor: Oh, I get it! That demon was all your doing, wasn't it!

New Emperor: I don't know what tricks you're employing, but no amount of chicanery can deceive the emperor of Galgenia!

Katzelia: Order in the court. The defendant stands accused of—

New Emperor: Fire! Fire, fire, fire! Pull your damn triggers!

A whirlwind erupts from within Katze just as the soldiers shoot.

New Emperor: Gaaah!

Bodies go flying back, slamming into the walls before crumpling to the floor.

New Emperor: Guh... Ungh...

Katzelia: Brother, answer me truthfully. Why did you try to kill me?

New Emperor: I told you already. I was going to leave you in peace! But then...

Katzelia: I see. You have a coconspirator.

Katzelia: What is this plot to install a younger heir over you? You were clearly on track to claim the throne without having to resort to murder.

New Emperor: One of you younger brothers was slated to rule... Uncle said so...

Katzelia: He what?

There's a knock at the door. The steward peeks in from outside.

Steward: Lord Katzelia, there is something you should hear—

Steward: By the gods! What am I witnessing?

Katzelia: Lower your voice. You were saying?

Steward: Ah, er, yes! The investigation of the public health office was carried out as you ordered.

Steward: Several documents dating from a year ago were discovered. They pertain to the removal of animal corpses from the archduke's residence.

Steward: It was listed as pest control, but staffers claim the archduke himself carried it out.

Katzelia: So that's his game...

Katzelia: The normal order of succession starts with the emperor's eldest child, and then progresses through his other children based on the order of birth.

Katzelia: Since Uncle is a sibling of the emperor, his right to succession falls to the seventh position behind Haase.

Katzelia: If all six of the imperial heirs are removed from the picture, Uncle will naturally claim the right to rule!

Katzelia grabs his half brother by the nape.

Katzelia: I know Uncle's silver tongue has completely fooled you, but he'll come for you eventually!

New Emperor: U-Uncle would never do that! He's on my side!

Katzelia: You damn fool!

Katzelia discards his brother like garbage and stalks off.

Steward: Wh-where are you going?

Katzelia: To see the archduke! I have some questions for my uncle. If my theory is correct...

Katzelia: He will suffer all the pain and humiliation this empire has, and more!

Steward: Please reconsider! I caught a glimpse of many soldiers coming this way!

A cacophony of footsteps rumbles like approaching thunder.

Steward: Oh no... They are here!

Steward: I think I understand what's happened, but if the soldiers see you like this, it won't look good for you!

Steward: Moreover, we don't know how many of them are under the archduke's influence!

Katzelia: Then what would you have me do?

Steward: Withdraw. Please think of Haaselia's well-being. You are the only one who can save her!

Katzelia: ...!

Steward: There is another way out. Take Lady Haaselia and escape. You must hurry!

Daybreak. Katzelia and Haaselia flee to the nameless wilds on the edge of the empire. Only the steward is there to say goodbye.

Katzelia: A rough life of exile awaits us. Uncle and his cronies will no doubt continue to hunt us down.

Steward: There are no words to describe what this has become.

Katzelia: Don't cry. This is not a final farewell.

Katzelia looks back on the distant empire, slowly being bathed in the dawn's light.

Katzelia: I shall return! And when I do, the trial will commence!

Katzelia: To my eldest brother who abandoned his siblings to save himself, my uncle who murdered his own relatives for his ambitions, and every coconspirator in the upper echelons...

Katzelia: The sentence for each and every one of them shall be death!

Katzelia: If I have to crawl through the dust and drink mud to do it, I will live to render judgment upon you!

Steward: Oh, Lord Katzelia... One day you will become emperor. You are the only one truly suited to rule!

Steward: Thus never forget, my lord, that even at your lowest moments, you must maintain your grace!

Steward: Grace is the essence of authority. Continue to refine yourself so that the people may honor you with their esteem!

Katzelia: Very well. From this day forth, I shall act as the legitimate heir to Galgenia.

Steward: Lady Haaselia...

Haaselia: I will accompany Brother wherever he goes. If he is to be the next emperor, then I will play the role of his attendant.

Steward: Ah... How noble...

Katzelia: Haase, the road ahead will be full of hardships. Please support your foolish brother.

Haaselia: Of course. I will always be with you, Brother.

And with that, the siblings leave the island.

Orthodox Succession

Katzelia announces that he desires to start a war of succession to take back the Galgenia Empire, unaware that the crew has overheard him. When the crew refuses to help Katzelia carry out his plan, the exiled imperial summons Judgement to fight them.

From upon the hill, Katzelia, Haaselia, and Judgement continue to observe the fighting down below.

Judgement: ...

Haaselia: ...

Katzelia: It's convenient that your desire for strong fighters coincides with my needs as well, Demon Cat.

Katzelia: My objective is to launch a war of succession to take back Galgenia, but I lack experience and knowledge of warfare.

Katzelia: What better model to study tactics and logistics from than the War itself.

But war alone doesn't make an emperor. The one who stands over everyone must also win the hearts of the people.

That's why Katzelia took charge of the impoverished people of the slums.

Katzelia: Progress has been slow, but the time of war is steadily approaching.

But he has made a mistake.

Lyria: What's this about a war?

Katzelia: ...!

Katzelia spins around and is met by the gaze of the crew.

Katzelia: I believe you have misheard me.

Vyrn: I don't think so, buster! You said the War is convenient or something. You've got some 'splainin' to do!

Vyrn: While I'm at it, we've seen that primal beast before too! Which makes you the person we saw on Sephira Island!

Katzelia: Hmm, so that was you back then...

Katzelia clears his throat and puffs out his chest.

Katzelia: I am Katzelia Alois Gangnus, rightful heir to the throne of the Galgenia Empire!

Katzelia: I request your assistance in starting a war of ascension against the treacherous felons that commandeered my empire.

Vyrn: You're tryin' to start a war?

Vyrn: Is that why we're in this memory?

Katzelia: On the contrary, the conflict within this memory is for this primal beast's objective.

Judgement: ...

Vyrn: What kind of objective?

Katzelia: If you want to know, you must submit to my command. I will give you important positions in my army.

Absolutely not.
What would you make us do?

Choose: Absolutely not.

Vyrn: Yeah! We're skyfarers! We don't soldier for nobody's army!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: What would you make us do?

Katzelia: With my intellect and your power, we shall be able to recruit every noteworthy warrior in the skies with ease.

Katzelia: Become my generals and lead our troops to victory!

Vyrn: Hah! We're skyfarers through and through! We ain't got time to be anybody's puppet generals!

Continue 1

Lyria: Please don't start another war! That's not the King I know who helps the poor!

Lyria: Thomas told us that you were the one who showed them a better way to live!

Katzelia: ...

Lyria: I'm sorry, but I don't think war is the right way to do things!

Katzelia: Silence!

Katzelia: So am I to shut my eyes to fallen comrades who vomited blood? Do you understand what it feels like to be powerless?

Katzelia: Have you seen the landscape of hell itself?

Katzelia: I have an obligation to save the citizens of my empire! This is the only way I can do that!

Katzelia: I can afford no surrender. Until my plan comes to fruition, I will not go to my grave!

Katzelia pulls out his conductor's baton from his jacket.

Vyrn: Wh-what are you going to do with that?

Katzelia: All you need to start a war is a collision of ideologies to create a spark...

Katzelia: Like this!

With a flick of Katzelia's baton, the primal beast commences its attack on the crew.

Orthodox Succession: Scene 2

Katzelia and Haaselia vanish in the aftermath of fighting Judgement. Judgement, now free from The World's control and following the crew, reveals the history of two exiles as well as what the Arcarum were created to do. Returning to the slums, the crew inform the residents that their king has left.

Vyrn: Huff... Huff... I think we won...

Vyrn: Huh? King's gone!

Haaselia not in crew

Lyria: Princess isn't here either. I wonder where they went?

Haaselia is a crew member

Lyria: Haase isn't here either. I wonder where they went?

Judgement: The siblings have already left this memory. They have their own purpose to pursue.

Vyrn: You mean this whole war business?

Judgement: Not the war, but what lies beyond it. If you'll allow me, I will tell you of their fall from grace.

Judgement proceeds to retell the tragic past shared by Katze and Haase.

Lyria: I can't believe they went through such rough times...

Vyrn: Well, that explains them, but what's your story?

Judgement: I am Judgement of the Arcarum.

Judgement: The Arcarum are primal beasts cut from a different cloth—our tailor is The World.

Judgement: The World wishes to create a new world only for the Arcarum.

Lyria: A new world?

Judgement: When the next conflict that rivals the War arrives...

Judgement: Data is needed to ensure our victory. That data is you.

Vyrn: What!

Judgement: The information gleaned from observing strong warriors on the battlefield is crucial if we are to triumph.

Judgement: The World manipulated me into lending power to Katze. The discovery of capable fighters was a product of this pact between Katze and I.

Vyrn: That's a crazy plan. Is it really okay to be tellin' us The World's scheme though?

Judgement: The shackles that The World placed on me were unfastened in our violent duel.

Judgement: I am free. No longer do I have reason to do as The World commands.

Judgement: Katze has embarked on a journey to a far-off place to see his mission through. However, I have nothing left.

Judgement: Therefore I surrender myself unto you.

The crew is transported from the memory of the War back to the slums.

As expected, King and Princess are nowhere to be found.

Vyrn: Looks like all we're left with is this Judgement card...

What once was a worn-out card now displays an unmistakable picture of Judgement.

Thomas: Hey!

Lyria: Oh, it's Thomas.

Thomas: Y'all know where King went? I wanted to talk to him about work stuff.

Vyrn & Lyria: ...

(Captain) tells him the truth: King and Princess have already skipped town.

Thomas: He abandoned us?

Other townsfolk form a crowd around (Captain), sensing that a misfortune has occurred.

Resident 1: Bull! You're saying King's gone?

Resident 2: But what's going to happen to us if King and Princess are gone?

Resident 3: I can't bear the loneliness... Tell me you're lying...

Lyria: ...

The people continue to wail, but the crew can do nothing else for them.

Any Way the Wind Blows

Some time after falling out with Katzelia, the crew returns to the slums and are reunited with him, Haaselia, and Thomas. Katzelia no longer wishes to pursue his war of succession, instead striving to restore peace to his empire, and so he formally joins the crew. He reestablishes his pact with Judgement and vows to return to the slums once Galgenia is at peace.

Days and months pass after the showdown with the king of the slums.

(Captain) and company have come back to the island for the first time since King's disappearance to transport cargo for a job.

The rich and prosperous requester has asked for the crew specifically.

Vyrn: Hehe! This guy knows his skyfarers if he had the good sense to choose us!

Lyria: Oh! I think this is the shop.

(Captain) approaches the door of the shop. It opens and a man steps out.

???: Hey there! I've been waiting for you!

Lyria: Thomas!

Thomas: It's been a while. Y'all look well.

It's none other than Thomas, the wood supplier the crew met in the slums.

Vyrn: Wait... So the rich guy that hired us is—

Thomas: You guessed it! Me! I asked for you specifically!

Vyrn: Holy smokes! You mean you own this joint? How'd you do it?

Thomas: I put King's lessons to good use and never strayed from the path of doing honest business.

Thomas: Sometimes I'd snag a big deal, and then that led to another deal, and another... My luck kept rolling.

Thomas: Business was booming. Figured I'd need a shop, so I set up a place on this island.

Lyria: Oh, I see. I'm glad everything has worked out for you!

Thomas goes on to happily report that other residents from the slums have also since prospered.

Vyrn: So where do you want us to take the cargo?

Thomas: Actually the destination hasn't been finalized yet.

Vyrn: Say what? How's this gonna work then?

At that moment a pair of familiar figures make their entrance into the shop.

Katze & Haase: ...

Lyria: Oh my goodness!

Katzelia: Long time no see.

Haaselia: Have you been well?

Haaselia not in crew

Vyrn: Whoa! It's King and Princess! Where'd you guys run off to?

Haaselia is a crew member

Vyrn: Whoa! It's King and Haase! Where'd you guys run off to?

Katzelia: After we left your presence, we were found by imperial pursuers. We had no choice but to go on the run until recently.

Katzelia: We were at the ends of our ropes, ready to give up, when we happened across Thomas.

Thomas: Course I'm just a simple merchant. Even though I knew their lives were in danger, I didn't have the power to do anything.

Thomas: That's when I got the idea to call you guys.

Vyrn: I'm with you so far...

Katzelia: I decided to stop thirsting for a war of succession.

Katzelia: Defeat at your hands drove home the fact that I am a musician and not suited to war.

Katzelia: From now on my calling is to find a way to take back the empire through peaceful measures.

Katzelia: That is in the best interests of the citizens of Galgenia.

Lyria: I agree! That's the best way forward!

Vyrn: Wait... Then the cargo we're here to transport is...

Katzelia steps closer to (Captain).

Katzelia: (Captain), you are the captain of the crew.

Katzelia: Will you shelter us two exiles?

You're more than welcome.
Just don't lie anymore.

Choose: You're more than welcome.

Katzelia: I don't know how to thank you. You didn't even hesitate, despite the fact that I once took up arms against you.

Vyrn: Hehe, think nothin' of it! (Captain) doesn't do it for the thanks!

Katzelia: I am humbled...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Just don't lie anymore.

Katzelia: I swear on my homeland, the Galgenia Empire, that I will never deceive you ever again.

Katzelia: And I apologize for the incident that transpired between us.

Vyrn: Well, I think we can accept that, right, (Captain)?

(Captain) nods with a smile.

Katzelia: I am humbled...

Continue 1

Haaselia not in crew

Haaselia: Thank you very much.

Haaselia is a crew member

Haaselia: Thank you very much for not just sheltering my brother, but for opening his eyes as well.

Lyria: You never said anything to us about Katze's intentions...

Haaselia: I was uncertain of what to do back then. I'm sorry.

Haaselia: I was powerless to persuade my brother who was so consumed with revenge.

Haaselia: But in my heart, I knew (Captain) would show my brother that war is not the answer.

Haaselia: I believed that losing to you would bring him to his senses, just as it did for me.

Thomas comes to say goodbye to Katzelia.

Thomas: Take care of yourself out there, King!

Katzelia: I am a king no longer. Just baggage.

Thomas: Nope! You'll always be a king to us! Doesn't matter where, doesn't matter when, you'll forever be in our thoughts!

Lyria: He's right! And you're not baggage, Katze! You're our friend!

Katzelia: Friend?

Orchestra Member 1: Katze! Hey, Katze!

Orchestra Member 2: Teehee, Katze is such an amusing fellow.

Orchestra Member 3: You won't find an imperial prince like him anywhere else. Maestro here is our empire's pride and joy.

The faces of departed comrades flash through Katzelia's mind. Never had he dreamt of ever making friends again.

Lyria: Katze! I feel the Judgement card calling out to you!

Katzelia: What?

Lyria hands the card to Katzelia.

Judgement: ...

Katzelia: Demon Cat...

Judgement: I have prepared another pact between us, Katze.

Katzelia: You would once more lend me power? But I no longer intend to start a war.

Judgement: I have been released from The World. My mission now is to judge The World. Such is the conclusion I have drawn.

Katzelia: Humph. And now you need a host to carry it out.

Katzelia: Very well! I am kin of an imperial usurper! You were an altered primal beast!

Katzelia: We both know the pain of betrayal by those close to us.

Katzelia: Let us join together, my fellow cursed companion, and blast fierce winds over the arena of judgment!

Judgement recedes into a single point of light on the card, and Katzelia pockets it.

Katzelia: I suppose possessing this power ends my short-lived tenure as baggage.

Thomas: Astonishing as always, King... Taming a primal beast like it's nothing...

The Grandcypher pushes away from dock.

Thomas: Stay safe, King!

Katzelia: Thomas, tell this to the townspeople for me! Once I reclaim the empire, I will come back to see you all!

Thomas: I'll let 'em know! We'll be here waiting as usual! Please take care of yourself!

And so the exiled emperor sets out on a new adventure aboard the Grandcypher.

Conducting an Empire

Haaselia and (Captain) are invited to Emperor Katzelia's music festival. When Haaselia tries to suggest that Chairman Schlangehr was pardoned for her sake, Katze changes the subject and commends her instead. Their older sister Luvera joins and a warm moment between the siblings follows.

Some time has passed since Katzelia was throned the emperor of Galgenia.

He's holding a music festival today and the party is in full swing.

Vyrn: Hey, this looks fun! The whole hall is filled with music!

Lyria: It's so nice to see everyone enjoying themselves! And Katze makes a really cool conductor too!

Vyrn: You'd never think the government was in turmoil just a little while back.

Haaselia: It's a relief to see harmony being restored. I was worried for a moment there.

Having been invited to the music festival, (Captain) and friends wander the venue searching for Katzelia.

Schlangehr: Now for the next topic on our agenda. There are issues with river management in the northwest.

Katzelia: If we don't intervene, the rivers will flood at the first sign of a storm. Disaster prevention is of utmost urgency.

Lyria: Oh, there he is! Hey, Katze! Long time, no see!

Katzelia: Oh, (Captain)! So glad you could make it! I hope you're enjoying the festival?

Lyria: We are! Thank you for inviting us!

Katzelia: And Haase! How wonderful to see you looking so well! Come into my arms!

Katzelia opens his arms wide for a hug, but Haaselia shirks away from him.

Haaselia: The same goes for you. I was expecting to find you worn out from work, but you clearly have energy to spare.

Katzelia: I suppose I do! I've been looking forward to this music festival. It's been great to unwind from the stresses of everyday life.

Katzelia, arms still wide open, invites Haaselia in for a hug once again, but she responds with only a reluctant smile.

Schlangehr: You must be the crew who aided His Imperial Majesty. He speaks highly of you. And Haaselia—a pleasure as always.

Schlangehr: I didn't get a chance to introduce myself last time. I am Schlangehr Rela Gangnus, the chairman of this country.

Schlangehr shakes (Captain)'s hand and offers a few cordial words to break the ice.

Vyrn: Hey, Braidy Girl. Is it just me, or is this guy a totally different person from last time?

Haaselia: He's been forced to spend the rest of his days playing a good person.

Haaselia: He's keeping his promise by the looks of it, but this is just...creepy.

Schlangehr: What is it, Haase? Do I happen to have something on my face?

Haaselia: No...I was just thinking how unusually...friendly you are today.

Schlangehr: Oh, my. I almost forgot I have a meeting to attend!

Schlangehr: I must be off. Please excuse me.

Schlangehr walks out with a beaming smile on his face.

Katzelia: I did suggest he take the day off and enjoy the festival, but he's always keeping himself busy, that one.

Vyrn: You must be busy too, being the emperor and all. You could probably do with a day off yourself!

Katzelia: Well, you have a point there.

Katzelia: I held this music festival to ease the public's concerns about my enthronement and the changes happening in government.

Katzelia: I want this festival to demonstrate that the country's heading in a new direction.

Katzelia: But that's enough about politics! What did you think of my conducting out there, Haase?

Haaselia: What conducting?

Katzelia: Why, the concert I just performed in. I, the emperor, ascended the conductor's podium and led the orchestra into glorious harmony.

Katzelia: I informed you in the letter, did I not? What time I would be performing.

Haaselia: Oh, right. Now you mention it. I'm afraid it utterly slipped my mind.

Katzelia: No... I can't believe it!

Katzelia: You mean, you missed the show? Why, Haase? Why must you be so cruel? What have I done to deserve this?

Haaselia: I jest. (Captain) and I saw the whole thing.

Katzelia: You... You did?

Haaselia: I was just winding you up, Brother. I mean, how often does one get the chance to send the emperor into a spin?

Vyrn: Katze hasn't changed. Even as the emperor, he's still wrapped around her finger.

Lyria: Hehe! At least he's staying true to himself!

Katzelia: Ahem. It's been such a long time since I was reuinted with Haase, my excitement's getting the better of me.

Katzelia: It is undignified for the emperor to lose his composure in public. Please follow me to my room.

Katzelia: All right. We can speak in privacy here.

Once the group has entered the room, Katzelia turns to Haaselia and gives her a pat on the back.

Katzelia: You've lost weight. Are you eating properly?

Katzelia: The stress of me being away isn't getting to you, is it?

Haaselia: Relax, I'm fine. In fact, I'm actually very well.

Haaselia: And I thought I told you to stop smothering me.

Katzelia: I know. But that's just how I show my love. Hate me for it if you like, but I'll never change.

Katzelia: No matter how kind or cruel your words may be, I accept them all. That is the true meaning of love.

Vyrn: I know I said he hadn't changed, but I take it back. He's gotten worse.

Haaselia: He's beyond help at this point. My mean jibes don't even affect him anymore.

Haaselia: Maybe he wasn't the best person to come to about this...

Katzelia: See, I could tell there was something on your mind. Come on, let it all out. Big brother will make it better.

Haaselia: No. I just wanted you to take a look at this.

Haaselia pulls out a stack of parchment papers.

Haaselia: This is a proposal I wrote about the country's orphanage policies.

Haaselia: After seeing how orphanages are run in other countries, I have became aware of the issues in our own. It's all written in there.

Katzelia: This is what you've been up to?

Haaselia: I can't sit by idly while my brother is serving as the emperor.

Haaselia: It's not the perfect proposal, by any means. I feel that there's something missing.

Haaselia: That's why I came to see you. To get your opinion.

Haaselia: You've had a busy day, so you could look over it at a later date. Don't keep me waiting too long, though.

Katzelia: I didn't realize you were thinking about the country.

Katzelia: All right. But as much as I love you, Haase, I shan't go easy on your proposal. These policies concern the whole country.

Haaselia: Of course. Please don't, in fact. You'd get a wallop right to the face if you did.

Haaselia's smile fades and her voice quietens as Katzelia turns his eyes to the document.

Haaselia: There's one more thing.

Haaselia: It was quite a shock when you pardoned our big brother Schlangehr despite how much you hate him.

Haaselia: But now that I think about it, I realize you did it to divert the investigation away from me... after I killed the archduke and his lackeys...

Katzelia: Haase.

Katzelia, eyes still fixed on the documents, begins to speak without airs.

Katzelia: I think the present situation is the best outcome we could've asked for Galgenia.

Haaselia: ...
What?

Katzelia: Perhaps it was an arbitrary judgement, but my main priority is to stabilize the country, and now Schlangehr is in agreement with that too.

Katzelia: I do not regret pardoning him of his crimes. And no one can argue that the pardon deviates from any laws or customs either.

Katzelia: In the past, conflicts resulted in casualties and survivors. But now we have the present.

Haaselia: What do you mean by that? You think things are better now?

Katzelia: Yes. Because you and I, Haase, have fought tooth and nail to reclaim Galgenia and make it so.

Haaselia: ...!

Katzelia: You avenged the people you wish you could've protected, and that was necessary for us to reform the country.

Katzelia: You fought bravely, Haase. You are a pride to the imperial family. It's thanks to you... that we have the present.

Haaselia: I'm honored, but...

As Katzelia raises his head to meet eyes with Haaselia, she turns her face away.

Haaselia: If you're going to read my proposal, then please hurry up and read it already!

Katzelia: R-right you are. Let us begin.

Lyria: Those two look like they're getting closer, don't you think?

Vyrn: That's what being open and honest about your feelings will do for ya!

Katzelia: Hm? Who is it?

Luvera: It's me. I'm coming in, Your Majesty.

Luvera: So there you are. I've been looking for you.

Luvera: You invite me to your party, then leave me out there on my own?

Katzelia: Sister, where have you been? I didn't think you were coming. I didn't see you at the music festival nor the party.

Luvera: I got so engrossed in my magic research that before I knew it, I'd forgotten about the festival.

Haaselia: How have you been, Sister? It's been a while.

Luvera: Good to see you. As you can see, I'm just full of beans!

Luvera: It sounds like you've been busy, Haase. I didn't mean to listen in, but I overheard your conversation earlier.

Luvera: You can't let her show you up, Katze! Remember, you succeeded the throne because I allowed you.

Luvera: If you don't conduct yourself like a suitable emperor, I might just come back and challenge you for the title!

Katzelia: Sigh... I suppose you're encouraging me, in your own way.

Katzelia: If I should ever stray from a noble path, then I ask you take me to the gallows.

Luvera: Good! Then there'd be a reason to put it to good use. Poor thing's just been sitting there since I had it constructed.

Luvera: Don't worry, Haase, I'll be here looking after Katze.

Luvera: You go and fulfill your duties, and return to our country someday holding your head high.

Luvera pulls Haase in for a gentle hug.

Haaselia: I will, Sister. I will keep forging ahead on my own path.

Katzelia: Wait... Why will Haase hug Luvera but not me? Why, why does she always reject the comfort of my arms!

Vyrn: Cool and collected as always, Emperor!

Katzelia's outburst breaks the tension in the room, causing a smile to crack onto everyone's face.

In this peaceful moment, the siblings are united in the feeling that they can build a bright future together.
