“<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">You aren’t much older than my daughter</span>,” Folmalv noted, shaking his head sadly “<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">and now here you are, going off to war. Will I repeat this scene again and again? With Meliadoul, and Isilud a few years down the line? How many of Ivalice’s young will be sacrificed to this war?”</span><br/><br/>“Lord Tengille?” the young knight asked, taken back by the sentimental display form her instructor.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">“Don’t mind me, Lydalia. You will do well, if you keep in mind all I have taught you,</span>” he assured her, beckoning her to follow.  They made their way to the Fortress  of Besselat, and he continued,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">“There is but one last test, before I set you out on your own, my apprentice.”</span><br/><br/>She certainly looked like an apprentice, with her far too neat and clean battle dress. Navy and cream, with silver cross on her chest and gold trimming, she wore the attire of Ivalice’s elite nobility. The visage was somewhat betrayed by the brassy twin braids flowed from her head, a last, mocking gift from her Ordallian great grandmother.

This is my student, Lydalia Riovanes. Lydalia, this is White Knight Wiegraf Folles.</span>”<br/><br/>“It is an honor, Lord Folles,” she acknowledged, and curtsied in respect.<br/><br/>“<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">You two have been assigned to the same squad</span>,” Folmalv explained, motioning to the blond apprentice, “<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">and there is one more who should be arriving shortly, and then we will set out.”</span>
