Between Frost and Flame - Chapter 3: Aglovale, Lord of Frost - Episode 2

Percival attempts to enter the throne room of Wales Castle, but a castle guard refuses entrance to the crew, citing strict rules. Aglovale personally resolves the issue, and that's how the crew comes to meet Aglovale for the first time.

---

As soon as Percival comes into view, the castle servants bow their heads in respect.

Servant: Welcome back, Lord Percival.

Percival: Thank you. Where is my brother?

Servant: His Highness is in the throne room, sire.

Percival: Very good.

Vyrn: Wow! Seeing how everyone treats him like royalty reminds me of how important he is!

Lyria: How could you forget, Vyrn? Percival's always had that kind of status.

Percival: Huh? Hey, what are you two mumbling about?

Lyria: Ah, w-we were just admiring the armor and all these portraits!

Vyrn: So this is what it's like to be rich!

Percival: Don't go wandering off.

Percival: You too, (Captain). You're not a tourist. Stick close to me.

Lyria: Wah! I'm right behind you, Percival!

Vyrn: Hey, don't leave me behind!

The party arrives at the door to the throne room.

A guard steps in front of them before they can enter.

Percival: What are you doing?

Guard: Attendants are not allowed beyond this point, Lord Percival.

Percival: (Captain) is my loyal adviser. Are you questioning the trustworthiness of my vassals?

Guard: Erk! No, my lord, but those are my orders! If they wouldn't mind waiting in another room—

???: Enough. Let them in.

Guard: Your Highness! Yes, at once!

Percival: Pardon me.

Percival and the others enter the room where Aglovale is waiting for them.

Percival: I've just arrived, Brother.

Aglovale: It's been a while, Percival. The last time was at Father's funeral, wasn't it? You've done well to come back.

Percival: Indeed, it has been too long. Forgive me.

Aglovale: No matter. It's good enough to see your face after all this time.

Aglovale: And are these your attendants?

Percival: Yes. I'm proud to call them my vassals.

Lyria: It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness. I'm Lyria. Your brother has taken very good care of us!

Vyrn: Call me Vyrn!

Percival: They're skyfarers under (Captain). I owe them all a great deal.

(Captain) greets Aglovale.

Aglovale: Well, well. So your vassals are skyfarers...

Aglovale: You and your crew have shown great kindness to my brother. Make yourselves at home.

Aglovale: Now, I believe we can discuss other matters later...

Percival: Yes.

Before he leaves, Aglovale abruptly turns back to face the party.

Aglovale: Ah, one more thing. Your vassals are welcome to join me for tonight's banquet.

Lyria: We can? Yay! Oh, thank you!

Vyrn: Sweet! Good grub and plenty of it!

(Captain) meets Aglovale's gaze and nods.

Aglovale: Heh. Until then.

Aglovale's lips twist into a slight smile as he leaves.
