\s[5]
Hmm? General, what are you doing here?|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Aves]\m[1|2]\w[8]
\s[2]
My Lord, I apologize for the intrusion.\n
Do you have time for my audience?|

\s[5]
Of course, General. What do you need?|

\s[2]
It was a question of succession.\n
While we all have assumed your heir\n
will take the throne after you step\n
down, it has never been formally stated.|

\s[5]
Ah, so you wished to know for certain?\n
Yes, Thaddeus will have the throne once\n
I believe he is ready to lead our kingdom.|

\s[2]
Excellent... That was all I needed, your Majesty.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
I'm glad to have been assistance--|\e[5|0]\n
Hold that thought, General. We have\n
unexpected guests...|

\r[2]
\s[2]
Eh? What is the meaning of this...?!|

Your Majesty! Relinquish the throne at once!\n
You and your family are unfit to rule [Location]!|

\f[5|King]\f[6|Aves]
\s[6]
These scoundrels... What do they think they're doing?!|

\s[5]
I know not, Aves. But I won't give them what\n
they want. Surely they must know that usurping\n
the throne will only bring the ire of the nobility.|

\s[6]
But, your majesty, would they even\n
attempt such an attack if they didn't\n
already have their approval?|

\s[5]
Hmm...|

\s[6]
Your Majesty, for the sake of your\n
life, as well as your son's, perhaps\n
it would be wise to stand down...|\n
The two of us are strong, but with this\n
many numbers, we would surely fall.|\n
Furthermore, the impact it would have\n
on our soldier's morale...|
\s[-2]

\m[5|4]\r[4]\w[5]

\s[4]
Never. Fear not, Aves. With my blade and\n
your spear, they would find it difficult\n
to steal the throne from beneath me.|

\s[6]
Ah... I did try to reason with you.|
\s[-2]

\event

\s[4]
What? What are you saying...?|

\s[6]
Your Majesty, you can't possibly be this stupid.\n
Who do you think arranged all of this here?|\n
Why else would I meet with you when I could\n
ensure you were along and unguarded?|

\s[4]\e[4|2]
Aves! You would dare betray me?!\n
To betray all of [kingdom]?!|

\s[6]\e[6|2]
[Kingdom] has done far more bad than it has\n
good under your family's rule, King [Name].\n
Without your father's bloodthirst, I would\n
still have a kingdom to call home.|

\s[4]\e[4|0]
You... You were from...|

\s[6]
Enough, my lord. You've occupied\n
the throne for far too long.|

\f[1|King]\f[6|Aves]
\s[1]
Aves... Why...? We could have worked\n
something out... Why go this far...?|

\s[6]
You wouldn't understand, King. Your\n
whole line is cursed. Cursed to destroy\n
everything around it! I won't have it!|

\s[1]
My son is not like my father, nor am I.\n
We are reasonable people, don't do this!|
\s[-2]

brat and bring him to me in chains!|\n
I will cull the royal bloodline\n
right here, right now! Tonight!|

Thaddeus! Thaddeus! Wake up!|
\s[-2]

\w[32]

\f[5|Thaddeus]\b[5|1]
\s[5]
Ugh... Huh? Allie...?|

\s[2]
Come on, you need to get up!\n
Quickly, we don't have time!|

\s[5]\b[5|0]
What's going on? What are you doing here?|

\s[2]
My father... He's planning to take\n
over the castle. He won't leave you alive.|

\s[5]
W-what?! Where is my father... Where is he?!|
\s[-2]

\m[2|3]\w[5]
\s[3]
Listen to me! You have to run!\n
Don't let my father or anyone\n
else in the castle see you! Hurry!|

\s[5]
But, what about you? You're helping me--|

\s[3]
Thaddeus, don't worry about me; Lord\n
Aves is my father. He won't hurt me.|\n
No go, hurry! I'll hold them off!|
\s[-2]

\s[-2]

\f[1|Soldier]

Yes, sir!|

## Scene 3
\f[2|Thaddeus]
\s[2]
Damn it... They're blocking the bridge that\n
leads to the main road. The only potential\n
allies I have are in Niveal... To the east...|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
My only other option is north...
