In Celeste Village, before the four Kingdoms attacked Audoran Forest.
Even after the Lucano Kingdom Army tortured Neil to the point of near death, they ended up not finding any further clues about the secret path to enter Audoran Forest safely. They had spent a lot of time and effort just so they could find out that Kenneth went to Audoran Forest by a different route from them. But after they had come this far, there was no more information they could extract from the Celeste Village Chief.
"I ask you! Who among you escorted His Highness Prince Kenneth to Audoran Forest through the secret path?! Your crimes have caused His Highness to lose his life in Audoran Forest! That crime should have the entire village hanged to account for your actions. But with the kindness of His Majesty King Leroy, you will only be forgiven if you tell us the secret path right now!"
