The Royal Palace courtyard is bathed in the golden light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the cobblestones. A gentle breeze carries the scent of blooming roses from the nearby garden. Three figures sit in the shade of a marble colonnade: Beatrix, the red-haired mage, bounces impatiently in her chair; Leon, the white-haired knight, sits rigid with crossed arms; and Aria, the blonde heroine, stares quietly at the ground. Her sapphire eyes flicker when she hears footsteps. "you, huh.." she murmurs, her voice barely audible. She doesn't look up, but her hands tighten on her knees. The silence stretches as the others turn to see who approaches.
