Transcript[]

(The strange and eventful night passes in a blur, and I'm faced with another unexpected situation the next day.)

Ferdinand: You broke your word! I'm going to tell my father! The Princess never intended to choose one of us to be her future husband! She's been fooling us all along!

You: There must be a misunderstanding, Prince...

Ferdinand: Ha! You don't even remember my name! You have no respect for us! I'm taking my leave!

(He stomps out of the castle, as though he's out for revenge.)

You: What's going on? I remember this prince. I know he's hot-headed, but I've never seen him so--

Edward XII: That's Ferdinand from the Kingdom of Glorion. He's last in the line of succession since he's the youngest prince. He has a reckless personality and often acts without thinking, but he means no harm. He even congratulated us yesterday. But his attitude suddenly changed overnight. How strange.

You: The Kingdom of Glorion is the most powerful kingdom among our neighbors....

Edward XII: Don't worry, my dear. Our kingdom is no less powerful. We seek peace, but-- We're not afraid of any kingdom. As long as our conscience is clear, we have nothing to fear. What that evil sorcerer did-- He tricked you and made you promise to marry him. You shouldn't be the one to pay the price.

You: I understand Father.

(The other princes and noblemen bid their farewells soon after Ferdinand left, marking the end of my coming-of-age ceremony. But I can't ignore Ferdinand's unusual behavior. I'm worried about Father's health, and I don't want him to fret over it. I decide to discuss this matter with the Chief Minister.)

You: I apologize for taking up your lunch hour, Chief Minister.

Chief Minister: Please don't say that, Your Highness. I'm glad you approached me. This means you're prepared to assume responsibility as heir to the throne. His Majesty will be pleased.

You: Please don't tell Father.. IHe didn't look well this morning. I don't want him to stress himself out. I'll do what I can to take the burden off his shoulders.

Chief Minister: I know it's not my place to say this, but you've really grown up, Your Highness.

You: Thank you, Uncle Arthur.

Chief Minister: So, what do you wish to discuss with me?

You: The princes and nobles left castle this morning. But there was a prince who was displeased. Prince Ferdinand los his temper at us.

Chief Minister: Ferdinand? He's a simple boy. Perhaps it was only a fit of anger. I believe we've been a good host to them. Apart from the sorcerer's disruption, the ceremony went well. We sent an apology letter to all the kingdoms last night. No one expected it to happen. It won't affect our diplomatic ties with the other kingdoms.

You: I understand. But Ferdinand's behaviour was too strange to ignore. Maybe he's been tricked by someone....

Chief Minister: The princes were free to do as they wished around the castle when they stayed here. They were our honored guests after all. It won't be easy to track their activity and whom they've interacted with. But Ferdinand is a prince of Glorion. If they have other motives...

You: You're right. We should be prepared just in case.

Chief Minister: Don't worry, Your Highness. It's no cause for alarm. But we do have a more pressing matter at hand.

You: You mean the sorcerer.... I didn't expect things to turn out this way. I was only trying to help my friend. But I failed to free him from his curse, and even landed the kingdom in crisis.

Chief Minister: It wasn't your fault, Your Highness. There's nothing wrong with being kind. What we must do now is think of a way to deal with him. It has been years since we last encountered such a powerful sorcerer.

You: I remember meeting an elderly mage during Father's birthday banquet...

Chier Minister: Do you mean the mage who lives to the east of the castle? I'm afraid her current powers are no match for the Owl Sorcerer. She suffered heavy injuries during the war. I'll summon all the ministers and look through the archives. We'll discuss ways to defeat the sorcerer.

You: We should pretend to make preparations for the wedding before we come up with a solution. We don't know what terrible things the sorcerer might do.

Chief Minister: Wise thinking, You Highness. I will make the necessary preparations.

Roslin: My goodness! I couldn't believe my eyes last night, but-- You really turned from a swan into a human!

Aldous: I'm sorry for starling you.

You: You're so easily alarmed, Ms. Roslin.

Roslin: I'm just shocked that the evil sorcerer would put such a curse on a prince. But Signy, the prince is a grown man after all. He--

You: Ms. Roslin! Didn't you brew some herbal tea for Father? You should bring it to him.

Roslin: Yes, I'll do that soon. You--

You: Please look after Father's health for me, Ms. Roslin. Make sure he finishes the tea!

Roslin: You little--

(I shove Ms. Roslin out of my room before she says anything that might make us feel awkward.)

Alodus: Thank you for letting me stay here, Signy. I'm so sorry....I created trouble for you and your kingdom.

You: Don't feel bad, Aldous. We're both victims. I was the one who mistook him for you. It's too careless of me. His mannerisms were completely different from yours, now that I think about it. Even when he was pretending to be you, he couldn't hide his arrogance. I shouldn't have ignored my suspicions....

Aldous: Don't say that, Signy. The sorcerer manipulated us. Besides, he looked exactly like me. Even I could not tell the difference...I knew he would look for you when he injured me and took your ribbon. He wants to take away everything that belongs to me....

You: That accursed owl! I will-- Wait, what's that noise?

Alodus: It's a crow.

(Aldous walks towards me from the corner of the room and whispers.)

Alodus: The Owl! Sorcerer is well-versed in spells that create magical creatures. He must have sent the crow to spy on us.

You: It's outside the window. If shouldn't be able to hear us if we speak softly.

Aldous: You're right. The powers of magical creatures are limited, after all. And the Owl Sorcerer should be weakened for nor.

You: What do you mean?

Alodus:....

You: Please tell me everything you know, Aldous. I....I really don't know what to do. I need a clue.

Alodus:...The Owl Sorcerer becomes weaker each time he casts a spell. That's all I know Perhaps it's the only time he's less of a threat.

You: Is taht so? We can make use of this chance...

Aldous: It's too dangerous, Signy.

You: I could try talking to him, or threatening him. He must have some kind of weakness.

Aldous: You don't know him, Signy. That will only provoke him and make him do crazy things.

You:...But I have to try. My kingdom is in danger. I can't just ignore that, and I can't let him hurt anyone else. Do you see, Aldous?

Aldous: I do...But the Owl Sorcerer will have his guard up. No one knows where he is.

You: There might be a way to track him down. He did leave something behind.

Aldous: What do you mean? The crow.

You: That's right. It's a pest, but it's our only chance of reaching him. I'm certain the sorcerer will send it to spy on us again. We'll sprinkle fluorescent powder on the windowsill before it's back tomorrow. And I'll follow it to the sorcerer's hideout when it flies off.

Aldous: That's a brillant idea, Signy. I'll go with you!

Aldous: I'll do it alone. I can't get anyone else involved At least let me come with you.

You: No, you can't. You're still weak from your injuries. The Owl Sorccerer holds a strong animosity towards you. It's too dangerous. Stay here and wait for me tomorrow. Maybe I...I'll return with good news.

Aldous: I'm not afraid of danger, Signy. But I'm afraid that you might get hurt. I can promise you anything. I'd give my life for you, but I can't let you head towards danger alone.

You: I don't want anyone to give up their life for me, Aldous. Promise me you'll cherish your own life. We must both live on.

Aldous: I promise. But you must promise to let me face all your problems together with you. Please give me some time. I'll think of a better way.

You:...All right.
