An Upset Puppet

M-my puppet's broken again and now Orchid's gonna kill me and I'm just hopeless! I'm done for! I'll talk to Le Tierre and leave the Black Wings forever!

Yeah, okay, whatever you want.

This is all your fault! *Sniff sniff* I'm so sorry, Lady Orchid... I was loyal to the very end! Don't come to my house and break my kneeeees! I'll get stronger, I promise!

You want to be stronger? What do you say I bring you more of those Golem Core things you love so much?

Wh-what kind of sick fun do you get out of toying with my emotions?! I'm not gonna take sympathy from you! I don't even like Stone Golem Cores! I hate them!

Look, you're a stupid kid. We all know that. Just let me get your things and we'll forget all of this ever happened.

R-really?

Of course. You'll just owe me one down the line, won't you?

I-I guess so, but...

Think about it. If you tell Orchid you've failed her now, what's she going to do? Plus, she'll be losing a VERY important subordinate. You don't want her to suffer like that, do you?

N-no, I don't. A-and I don't really hate the cores. Could you bring me 50 Golem Core items? I just want to be strong...

You really brought them! Please get out of here before you change your mind and break my puppets again!

I'll leave, but I have one more question for you, my dear friend Francis. What will you do when the Black Mage returns?

Don't talk to me like we're lifelong pals! When my master returns, he'll crush you and all the other fools across Maple World that oppose him. True devotees like myself will be rewarded with unspeakable treasures!

An interesting theory. What do you think you'll get?

I plan on asking his everlasting majesty for Ludibrium. I'll turn it into a kingdom of puppets, with me as its king!

I-I'm not falling for your stupid charms! This is all for Lady Orchid... just go hunt down those Golems!

(If you accept, you'll travel to the quest map automatically.)

And I'll get the Seal Stone of Victoria Island back! I already know where it is! I-I mean, you didn't hear that!

Why won't you just let me be?

50 Golem Core items... you promised!
