STYGIAN CASTLE

Next morning

Emperor Frederick prepares for the court meeting before Empress Mary's arrival. Upon her entrance to the throne room, Emperor Frederick greets Empress Mary with formalities.

Empress Mary felt sad seeing Emperor Frederick's indifference to her. Both the parents absentmindedly attend the court meeting while Crown Prince Charles and Prince George skip today's meeting. The Princes want to stay in their room because they miss their sister Kyra.

Mage Luke, Duke James, and Duke Albert are attending a meeting where they observe the lively atmosphere amongst the nobles. The three of them know the nobles' feelings towards Princess Kyra, who had chosen her viewpoint over the nobles'. These nobles are known for their greed, and today, they are pleased because they believe they have won.
