### Content
WAIT A MOMENT, YOUR MAJESTY.
BEFORE YOU GO, FOR A MOMENT...

THERE IS SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL YOU.
WHAT IS IT?
WELL...
IT'S ABOUT MISS DIAZ.

Isn't she a tr~uly amazing person?
How does she know such expert knowledge so easily...!
I've never seen someone so wise, capable, and knowledgeable!

I knew I had a good feeling about her from my first impression~?
THAT'S WHY, YOUR MAJESTY.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO MEET MISS DIAZ AGAIN NEXT TIME-
HOW ABOUT GOING HERE TOGETHER?

IT'S AN INVITATION TO THE <ANCIENT ARTIFACT EXHIBITION.

SO THIS IS THE RESTAURANT YOU MENTIONED.
I WAS SURPRISED. IT'S THE MOST FAMOUS PLACE IN THE CAPITAL.
I HEARD IT'S INCREDIBLY HARD TO GET A RESERVATION,
HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET A TABLE?
...WELL?
IT WASN'T THAT DIFFICULT.

*KYLE DID IT.
THAT'S A RELIEF THEN.
IT'S A PLACE I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT ANYWAY.
THANK YOU, SIR ROJAS.

...AN ANCIENT ARTIFACT EXHIBITION?
WAS THERE SUCH AN EVENT?
YES, IT'S BEING HOSTED BY THE IMPERIAL MUSEUM STARTING NEXT WEEK.
THE THEME CHANGES ONCE A WEEK, AND IT'S HELD A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES.
I SAW EARLIER THAT MISS DIAZ
TOOK ARCHAEOLOGY CLASSES EVERY YEAR DURING HER ACADEMY DAYS.

SEEING AS SHE RECEIVED TOP GRADES EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T HER MAJOR,
SHE MUST HAVE BEEN THAT SINCERE ABOUT THE CLASSES.
SO SHE WILL DEFINITELY FIND THIS EXHIBITION INTERESTING, TOO.

...IT WAS ALL WELL AND GOOD THAT I RECEIVED IT LIKE THAT, BUT
THE PROBLEM IS...
HOW DO I GIVE THIS TO HER.

THE WEATHER IS REALLY NICE.
CAN YOU SEE IT TOO, SIR ROJAS?
THE SUNLIGHT SHINING ON THE LAKE
AND THE RIPPLES BREAKING AND SPARKLING.

I USED TO SEE SCENERY LIKE THAT OFTEN IN MY HOMETOWN.
...COME TO THINK OF IT,
YOU AREN'T FROM THE CAPITAL.
YES. MY HOMETOWN IS A PLACE CALLED LANGHELDIEN,
IT TAKES ABOUT HALF A DAY BY CARRIAGE FROM HERE.

IT'S A SMALL VILLAGE, BUT IT HAS A FOREST SO THE AIR IS CLEAN,
AND IT'S THE PERFECT PLACE TO RELAX QUIETLY.
I'M ACTUALLY PLANNING TO STOP BY DURING THIS VACATION.
TO SEE MY PARENTS AND YOUNGER SIBLINGS, TOO.
YOUNGER SIBLINGS...? DO YOU HAVE SEVERAL SIBLINGS?

TWIN BROTHERS WHO ARE TROUBLEMAKERS AND MISCHIEVOUS,
AND A SMART, CUTE YOUNGER SISTER.
THEY ALL ATTEND THE ACADEMY, AND THEY BICKER EVERY DAY,
BUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS PRETTY GOOD.
...I SEE.

SINCE I HAVE NO FAMILY LEFT,
I MIGHT BE A LITTLE JEALOUS OF YOU.
...I'LL.
I'LL INTRODUCE MY FAMILY TO YOU LATER!

INTRODUCE...?
T-THAT IS...
THE SCENERY IN MY HOMETOWN IS REALLY PRETTY.
IT'S GREAT FOR RESTING AND ENJOYING THE VIEW,
SO IF YOU EVER COME VISIT.

I'LL INTRODUCE MY SIBLINGS AS WELL,
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I MEANT...
...ALRIGHT, I'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
I HOPE THAT DAY COMES QUICKLY.
EXCUSE ME, CUSTOMERS.

I WILL PREPARE THE TENDERLOIN STEAK YOU ORDERED.
AH, IT LOOKS LIKE THE FOOD IS HERE!
WOW, IT LOOKS INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!
YOU CAN ORDER MORE IF IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

...?
...WHY ISN'T IT CUTTING?
THE MEAT DOESN'T SEEM TOUGH...

IT LOOKS HARD TO CUT. GIVE IT HERE.
I'll Do It For You.
AH, THANK YOU.
THE KNIFE DOESN'T SEEM TO CUT WELL, MAYBE THE BLADE IS DULL.
IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU'RE HOLDING THE KNIFE TOO UPRIGHT.
TRY LAYING IT DOWN AND AIMING IT AT AN ANGLE LIKE ME.

THEN LIKE THIS-

AH...
W-WHAT IS THIS...?

PFFT.
AHAHAHA-!

SIR ROJAS, WHAT IS THIS?
YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU WERE GOING TO CUT THE PLATE TOO!
HAHA, AHAHAHA...!!

...THE- THE PLATE IS FLIMSY.
EXACTLY, YOU DIDN'T CUT THE PLATE,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN WEAK AND BROKEN ON ITS OWN.

I REALLY ENJOYED THE MEAL TODAY TOO, SIR ROJAS.
THAT'S A RELIEF THEN.
IT FEELS LIKE I'VE MADE UP FOR LAST TIME.
MORE THAN JUST MADE UP FOR IT!

YOU GAVE ME A MEMORY I'LL CHERISH FOREVER.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE LAUGHED AS LOUD AS I DID TODAY.
...ME TOO,
I THINK TODAY WILL STAY IN MY MEMORY FOREVER.

BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN YOU SMILE SO BRIGHTLY.
...UM,

MISS DIAZ.
THERE IS AN EXHIBITION OPENING AT THE IMPERIAL MUSEUM SOON,
THEY SAY IT'S ABOUT ANCIENT ARTIFACTS AND ARCHAEOLOGY.
I HAPPENED TO GET TWO INVITATIONS BY CHANCE.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED BY ANY CHANCE, MISS DIAZ...

...I WAS WONDERING IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO TOGETHER.

OF COURSE

THANK YOU FOR WALKING ME HOME AGAIN TODAY.
I'LL SEE YOU ON THE DAY OF THE EXHIBITION THEN.
ALRIGHT.
LET'S MEET AGAIN... THAT DAY.

...THEN BEFORE I MEET MISS DIAZ NEXT TIME,

I HAVE ONE THING LEFT TO RESOLVE.

THE MATTER REGARDING 'THAT WOMAN'.
