Julius:  "...Unnatural." He muttered.

Julius:  "Julius?" He put a hand to his chin and let his thoughts roam.

Julius:  "Reinhard. After you arrived in that large room, just before Master Balleroy was killed, you said your time was stolen. Isn’t that right?"
gpt
Reinhard:  "Yeah, that’s right. It’s mysterious to me why I couldn’t save Master Balleroy. I’m pretty confused, because even I don’t really remember what happened…"
human
Julius:  "Don’t worry, I’m not blaming you. It just doesn’t make sense. Why didn’t our enemies, whoever they are, go after you instead, Reinhard?"
gpt
Reinhard:  "? I’d guess it was because my death alone wouldn’t have been enough? If they wanted to start a war, only the death of Emperor Vincent would suffice…"
human
Julius:  "In which case, they could simply kill you and Master Balleroy both and weaken the two sides in a single stroke. If there really is war between our nations, you yourself are going to become more important, not less."
gpt
Julius:  "There must have been some reason they could only target Master Balleroy."
human
Reinhard:  "You think war between Lugunica and Volakia wasn’t their only plan? Why would they only kill one of their own…?"
gpt
Julius:  "No. No, that isn’t the way it is. Ah, perhaps I’ve had this backward."

Ferris:  Ferris was confused by Julius’s speculation.
gpt
Vincent:  A thin smile crept across the ruler of Volakia’s face, and his black eyes drilled into Julius.
human
Julius:  The young man frowned, a chill creeping down his spine, but he returned the piercing look.
gpt
Vincent:  "Tell me, then. By your reasoning, to what end did these brigands attack Balleroy and not your Sword Saint? What purpose did they have in leading our countries toward war while leaving the Sword Saint alive?"
human
Julius:  "Well, I think…" He felt his tongue go dry as he began to answer; he swallowed once. Then, feeling Reinhard and Ferris at his back, he gave Vincent his answer—his explanation for why Balleroy, and not Reinhard, had been felled.
