Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 35: Power's True Form - Episode 4
As the crew continues the search for Orchis, Katalina wonders aloud if the Black Knight can be trusted.
Black Knight: Dammit.
This place isn't that big, but we can't seem to find Freesia or Orchis.
This place isn't that big, but we can't seem to find Freesia or Orchis.
Black Knight: Should we split into two groups? It could make it easier to find them...
Katalina: Black Knight, first would you answer a question?
Black Knight: What? I thought I've told you everything you needed to hear.
Katalina: Then consider this something I want to hear. There's more to the truth, isn't there—maybe something you want to keep quiet?
Black Knight: What are you suggesting?
Katalina: I'm torn between trusting you and not. Is it really best for us to follow you?
Lyria: Katalina?
Rackam: Well, I for one think it's all right.
Rackam: Since we landed at Ravi, she's been tellin' us about a lot—a lot we never would've known otherwise.
Katalina: I agree. But she hasn't told us everything. Have you?
Black Knight: Care to elaborate?
Katalina: You haven't been lying, but you've conveniently left holes in the truth.
Black Knight: There are things you do not need to know. It is as simple as that.
Katalina: If that is truly the case, then I guess I have nothing to worry about. I also want to have faith in you.
Katalina: However you'll forgive me for finding these missing details more than a little suspicious.
Black Knight: Be careful, Lieutenant. Curiosity killed the cat.
Katalina: This isn't curiosity. I have people I want to protect—the same way you want to protect Orchis.
Katalina: I swear if something happens to Lyria because you've hidden something from us...
Katalina: Well, you've been warned. Do we have an understanding?
Black Knight: ...
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 35: Power's True Form - Episode 4: Scene 2
Katalina continues interrogating the Black Knight, but the Black Knight refuses to give her straight answers.
Katalina: Back in Amalthea you said you've never seen the Emperor of the Erste Empire.
Katalina: But you've also mentioned that the Erste Kingdom's royal family is no more.
Katalina: Personally I haven't seen him either. Do you think there never was an Emperor to begin with?
Katalina: Or is the current Emperor someone from a different bloodline than Orchis?
Black Knight: Who's to say?
Katalina: That's not all I want to discuss. You've told us your goal is to return Orchis to her former self.
Katalina: But how do you propose to accomplish that? We've heard nothing about what you aim to do after we get her back.
Black Knight: You're right. I haven't discussed that yet.
Io: I bet if you spill the beans now then Katalina will stop bugging you.
Black Knight: Forgive me but I can't. I promise that I'm not playing games with you.
Black Knight: I am going to put everything I have into saving Orchis. And I won't let anyone get in my way.
Black Knight: That is all I can say.
Katalina: Then forgive me for still having doubts about your reliability.
Black Knight: That is your decision. And I recognize that.
Katalina: Still won't talk...
Black Knight: Humph. Now's not the time to slow down.
Black Knight: We haven't found Orchis yet. Stay strong until she's safe!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 35: Power's True Form - Episode 4: Scene 3
So far the crew's search for Orchis inside of the palace has proven fruitless. They push on regardless.
Katalina: ...
Black Knight: ...
Rackam: Maaan, looking for Orchis is like tryin' to find a needle in an airship engine. Where's she hidin'?
Io: Well not just Orchis, but that stupid Prime Minister too...
Vyrn: I sure hope not, but do you think they coulda left the island?
Black Knight: ...
Vyrn: Sorry!
Lyria: Let's just keep looking for a little longer, okay, (Captain)?
(Captain) and the crew continue roaming the palace interior for signs of Orchis.
The Black Knight's scowl grows deeper as their search grows longer—but her patience, as the crew would soon learn, is not the only thing on trial.
