HOW DID YOU PICK CLOTHES THAT SUIT YOU SO PERFECTLY, MY LADY~! LOU PICKED THEM ALL OUT. Oh my! HE MUST REALLY ADORE YOU, MY LADY! TO KNOW A STYLE THAT FITS YOU SO WELL! I-is that so? Indeed~ I'D GUESS IT'S JUST BECAUSE LOUVANDES IS DEEPLY PASSIONATE ABOUT FASHION... AT THIS RATE, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF HE PICKS OUT YOUR WEDDING DRESS, TOO. THE WEDDING DRESS? COME TO THINK OF IT... THEY SAID THE WEDDING WOULD BE HELD BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS. EVEN WITH CHARLES AROUND, COURTING LETTERS STILL KEEP ARRIVING. WE SHOULD GET MARRIED SOON AND CUT OFF ANY CHANCE OF THESE MESSAGES. MARRIAGE TO THAT LOUVANDES FELLOW-JUST THINKING ABOUT IT GIVES ME HEARTBURN... MY LADY! GO ON AND TRY ON THE CLOTHES HIS LORDSHIP BOUGHT FOR YOU! DOES DRESSING UP ALWAYS TAKE THIS LONG...? SITTING STILL LIKE THIS IS SO TIRING... Fighting outside would be much more fun. ALL DONE, MY LADY! THERE, NOW JUST TO PUT ON THE NECKLACE...! ...LOOK! TODAY, YOU'LL BE THE MOST STUNNING PERSON IN THE EMPIRE! ...I'VE NEVER WORN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, BUT I SUPPOSE IT WAS WORTH TAKING THE TIME... THEN, I'LL ADJUST THE HEM OF YOUR SKIRT FOR THE LAST TIME. NO. I'LL DO THAT MYSELF. YOU MUST BE BUSY, SO YOU CAN GO AHEAD. YOU'LL DO IT YOURSELF, MY LADY? YEAH! I'M STILL NOT USED TO HAVING SOMEONE DRESS ME. Thanks for your help. WELL THEN, WE'LL BE HEADING OUT! PHEW.... FINALLY, I CAN CARRY MY GUN COMFORTABLY AGAIN. TODAY'S PARTY ISN'T JUST FOR ORDINARY SOCIALIZING. THE ALCHEMIST "THEMIS" BOTH NATIONS ARE KEEPING AN EYE ON HIM TO EXTRACT INFORMATION ABOUT THE HOLY RELIC, SO IF THINGS GO WRONG, A CLASH BETWEEN THE GUARDIANS AND CATACLE COULD BREAK OUT AT THIS BANQUET. STILL... I HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS IF POSSIBLE. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYONE'S LIFE... Huh ...LOU? TROUBLE MIGHT ARISE, SO I BROUGHT A GUN, TOO. ...LOU? WHY AREN'T YOU SAYING ANYTHING? Ah.. ...NO, JUST.... IT SUITS YOU WELL. Y-YEAH... THANKS. LET'S HURRY. WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE. THE MARQUIS OF BIDEN, THE HOST OF TODAY'S PARTY, IS WHAT PEOPLE CALL A NOUVEAU RICHE. HE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO DISCOVER A DIAMOND MINE AND MAKE A FORTUNE, AND LATER DONATED THAT MINE TO THE IMPERIAL FAMILY TO EARN HIS MARQUISATE. ONCE A COMMONER, HE HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY HOSTING PARTIES SINCE BECOMING A NOBLE TO BUILD HIS PROFILE. INVITING LOU THIS TIME IS LIKELY A WAY TO GATHER GUESTS USING HIS FAME. TODAY'S GOAL IS TO MEET THEMIS BEFORE LOU DOES- HUH? ...WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "WHAT"? I'M ESCORTING YOU. THEN WHY ARE YOU AVOIDING MY EYE? We're supposed to be lovers, remember? WHEN DID I? YOU'VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE INSIDE THE CARRIAGE! EVEN WHEN I SPOKE TO YOU, YOU JUST KEPT LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW, IS SOMETHING WRONG? YES. SOMETHING IS WRONG. BECAUSE YOU LOOK ESPECIALLY PRETTY TODAY. ...WHAT? I'VE NEVER BEEN LIKE THIS BEFORE. IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY EYES LATELY? IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT, YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST INSULT ME. OH. COME ON, NO WAY. I'M COMPLIMENTING YOU. YOU LOOK PRETTY TODAY. VANZEN! YOU'VE COME!! HELLO, MARQUIS BIDEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING ME. THANK YOU FOR COMING, MY BOY. Thanks to you, we have a great turnout, too. THAT REMINDS ME, IS THIS THE RUMORED "FIANCÉE"? HELLO, MARQUIS BIDEN. IT'S AN HONOR TO MEET YOU. I AM CHARLES COURTNEY, LOU'S FIANCÉE. MY, OH MY!! WITH SUCH A LOVELY FIANCÉE, NOBODY ELSE COULD POSSIBLY CATCH YOUR EYE! HAHAHA! Aha.. USING THE FACT THAT "LOU VANZEN'S FIANCÉE" IS COMING JUST TO DRAW IN GUESTS, HUH. IT'LL BE TROUBLESOME IF ALL EYES TURN TOWARD US. LIVING ALONE MADE ME MISS CHARLES. SO I ASKED HER TO COME TO THE CAPITAL. I WOULD'VE DONE THE SAME IN YOUR SHOES. SPLENDID! ...CAN'T BE HELPED. LET'S LOOK FOR SOMEONE OUT OF PLACE AMONG THE GATHERED CROWD INSTEAD. AH...! SOMEONE SLIPPING OUT ALONE AMIDST THIS COMMOTION... FOUND A SUSPICIOUS PERSON. IT MIGHT BE THEMIS, SO I'LL FOLLOW THEM. I APOLOGIZE, BUT I'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER TIDYING UP MY CLOTHES. AH, OH! SURE. GO AHEAD! I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BETWEEN AN ALCHEMIST AND THE HOLY RELIC, BUT I NEED TO FINISH INVESTIGATING BEFORE LOUVANZEN GETS HERE. IF HE WON'T TALK WILLINGLY, I'LL RESORT TO COERCION. ...FOUND HIM. THAT WAY LEADS TO THE FOREST OUTSIDE THE ESTATE. WHERE IS HE GOING? IS HE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE? YOU WERE HERE, CHARLES. G-GOODNESS... WHY'D HE GET HERE SO FAST? ...YOU FOLLOWED ME RIGHT AWAY. THE MARCHIONESS CAUGHT ME, BUT I MADE UP AN EXCUSE AND CAME OUT. OF COURSE, I MENTIONED CHARLES, TOO. DID YOU FIND ANYTHING OUT? NOT YET. IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S TRYING TO MAKE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE. SINCE I'VE BEEN CAUGHT UP WITH, INVESTIGATING AHEAD IS OUT OF THE QUESTION... BUT WAIT, WHAT IS THIS SMELL? IT'S FAMILIAR... SORT OF LIKE GUNPOWDER.... THEMİS!!!
