[Kritias] What the Princess Knows

Didn't this all begin with the Black Mage's invasion? Why would Father disappear, though...?

I've gathered some evidence...

This is all too much... Father never spoke of a secret area, or his travels, or this so-called omen of disaster. However...

However?

He said Kritias was a kingdom with advanced magic. I know the highest rank magician in this country: Father.

King Hekaton was... a magician?

Yes. I tried to learn myself, but my efforts never produced results. Father, however, was more skilled than any the whole of the magic academy. If the Black Mage was after the magic of Kritias, then the number one target would have been Father.

Then... did the Black Mage invade Kritias to catch King Hekaton?

It's possible... It's also possible that Father had was on the precipice of discovering something the Black Mage didn't want him to know. By the end, Father wasn't like himself at all. He became erratic and indulgent--especially the morning of the tragedy...

What happened?

He was just very excited. He acted like it was the greatest day of his life.

...I heard there was someone in the top secret area. And, that only you have seen them.

Actually... yes, it's true. Someone accompanied Father.

That person decided to live a new life, nameless and faceless. It's not appropriate for me to reveal that person's identity. So, this is all I can tell you.

Go see Cantor outside. He will tell you the rest.

Oh! You're back. What brings you... Huh?

You... How do you know that?

Cantor is in front of the inn. Go see him.
