☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- Your Highness, -- a deep bow. -- Forgive your humble knight for bringing you such sad news, and for coming to you so often... Two members of Carneol have lost their lives: the recently hired Sisiandra Ishtaran was killed by a red-haired brawler during a friendly duel, against the rules. The veteran of Carneol, Raphael, lost control of a Metarm and was killed by it in Moon Park: at least, that's what the knife wounds suggest. I wanted you to hear this news from me directly, -- another bow and a sad sigh. -- The second thing is my fault. If I had been more stubborn in my decisions, this would not have happened.
-- Will Your Highness have any orders? Should we turn to the guard or try to catch the suspect ourselves?

"This Carneol is just unlucky...", thought Naria first, but she said something else aloud, -- I am already aware of Crimson White; he has been arrested and is currently awaiting trial. Leave the Metarm to the city guard. -- "And I will close the matter from a legal point of view again." -- As for orders... Your squad now needs recruits, doesn't it? Wait.
Naria walks into another hall, where the princess's wizards are hastily organizing another ritual to summon a foreign soul, which becomes Nisho. The unconscious girl is placed before Erefir.
-- She will be your help. -- Naria says, with blood dripping from her hands. -- She is not from here either, so it will be your task to bring her up to speed. And also, -- the servants hand over a jar of ambrosia, -- let it be a gift for her in honor of her arrival.
