- Uh-huh, the world is full of unexpected and very strange twists of fate. By the way, would you like to buy something from my goods?
— Hmm... There are some interesting items here, but let's not spend any money yet, maybe after the tournament. By the way, yes, it's time for us to go and prepare.

During the day, in the remaining time before the tournament, the brothers visit Lepota again and drink black tea (Garrett + agility and charisma, Harold + agility and spirit), after which they return to Carneol, where Garrett fills the working slots in the room with Snezhana and a double figurine from the Dryad instead of flags. Harold, meanwhile, decides to fill his empty room with something, buys flags of Margel and the Pearl of the Swamps in Ornament, places them in the slots along with his figurine, and also reads about Lanigiros and Delsahid (first random bonus, combat training). Then, noticing that he has acquired an ode, Garrett suggests that Harold check out the much-hyped book about the Margel monarchs together with him.
Here is Raula, a loyal companion who has retrained as a diligent housewife. Here is Meryn, a devout shepherdess who knows a thing or two about agriculture. Patricia, who lived for her own pleasure and didn't care about anything. Ranos, an impassive warrior. Ixia, a happy tavern keeper. Arrosa, a celebrated beautiful model. The mysterious Innocencia, who was probably born of magic. Lorencia, a singer whose life was determined by a sudden turn. Also, Crystallia, who humbly accepted the fate imposed on her. The flirtatious Kanade, who probably confused many minds. The official Emerardo and the broken Bertali. Mersia, an altruistic philanthropist. Zamia, a merciful healer.
And she is also a lone heroine who took on the heavy burden of governing the kingdom instead of her husband, who went to war, conscientiously trying to do everything right on her own in his absence, even though she could not expect any warmth from him.
