Julius:  Reinhard didn’t expect Julius to do anything rash, but in a foreign country, one could never be too careful.

Ferris:  “I wonder what the emperor wants with Reinhard." Ferris said when the young man had left, staring at the door he had closed behind him.

Julius:  “Fine question." Julius said with a shrug. "If he just wanted to talk, he could have done it in the throne room. But Emperor Vincent is deliberately separating Reinhard from us… Who can say what he wants?”

Julius:  Julius and Reinhard were both Knights of the Royal Guard. But Reinhard had succeeded to the name of Sword Saint before he was ten years old, and it was well-known that, ever since then, he had received orders directly from the leaders of the kingdom, fulfilling many sundry roles—more than a few of which he couldn’t talk about. To give a recent example…

Ferris:  “The Pleiades Watchtower in the Auguria Dunes.”

Julius:  “Ferris, I—”

Ferris:  “I know, I know. You were choosing your words carefully, Julius. Besides, Ferri would never imagine criticizing Reinhard for something like that.” Ferris waved a hand and tried to sound nonchalant, but Julius could see clearly how hard he was straining to force a smile. Ferris was not as good at controlling his emotions as he thought he was. Perhaps his perfect physical control left him more vulnerable in the emotional realm.

Julius:  "." For a moment, Julius was silent. Ferris was referring to a certain mission Reinhard had been given. One so important, the result could have shaken the Kingdom of Lugunica down to its foundations: He had been ordered to seek out the Sage, famously said to be all-knowing, in hopes of finding some way to counteract the plague that was devastating the Lugunica Royal Family. Four hundred years ago, the Witch of Jealousy had cast the world into terror and chaos. This all-knowing Sage had been one of the three heroes who had sealed that terrible creature away. The Sage still lived, residing at the Pleiades Watchtower in the Auguria Dunes, which was on the kingdom’s extreme eastern edge. That old seer was the royal family’s last hope—a hope that had been entrusted to Reinhard. But he had failed in his mission.

Julius:  “So the royal line died out, and we lost our guarantee that the covenant with the Holy Dragon would continue."

Julius:  “And that’s why we’re here in the empire.”

Ferris:  “Meowby Reinhard blames himself for that.”

Julius:  Julius paused.

Julius:  “'Maybe you judge yourself harshly as well, Ferris. Am I wrong?” He probed at the cat-boy, who pondered Reinhard’s state of mind. Julius’s two close friends both suffered from their inability to save the royal family. Reinhard, because he had failed on his mission. And Ferris, because he was called The Blue and served as Lugunica’s best healer—curing illnesses and mending wounds was his very pride. Both of them felt that the kingdom, the royal line, had died out because they hadn’t been strong enough.
