Misguidance

Great. The Black Wings set a trap. WHAT A SURPRISE. You guess Audish was working with them the whole time. Why can you never catch a break?

But Athena Pierce is the one who sent me here in the first place! Was she tricked? No, that doesn't sound right. Athena's Letter must have been a fake!

I need to tell Athena Pierce about this, before anyone else tries to fake letters from her.

She IS on our side, isn't she? The Black Wings probably want us to start fighting each other!

Your Highness! You're looking stronger than ever. What can I do for you?

(Show Athena Pierce the letter and tell her about Audish and the Black Wings' ambush.)

That's not my handwriting... Are you hurt?!

I'm fine. I'm more worried about how much the Black Wings seem to know about me. Everybody else has forgotten I even exist...

It's bad enough they know about Elluel... The only people who know what you're doing are me and the Cygnus Knights. Hm... I'll see to it that the Cygnus Knights are careful with their information.

Be careful. If the Black Wings are after me, they'll be after you, too.

Thank you, Your Majesty, but please see to your own safety first. And from now on, let's only communicate in person.
