"Eh, it's nothing." You shrug. "I just don't really like fancy parties like this."

"Oh? Nothing to do with the event being about Harling?" Misono wonders, her flower hair decoration glinting in the light.

"I don't have any beef with him personally." You grunt. "He wasn't around when Osea carved up Belka like a turkey. Plus, Karla likes him a lot so it's not like I can hate the guy."

"Ah yes, Karla Weiss! The Valkyrie!" Misono's eyes flash as she leans in closer to you. "I never knew you were her protégé! What is it like?"

Huh, well, you guess you should've expected an enthusiastic pilot like Misono to be aware about Karla. However, you didn't quite expect her to fangirl this much. Everybody always could hide a surprise or two, you figure.

"Don't be so eager." You snort. "That also means I have to double as her babysitter."

"She's with child, too?!" Misono gasps. "I would very much like to meet them!"

"Heh, be careful what you wish for." You shake your head. "Her kid, Ellisaria, though I just call her Ellisa for short, is a real goddamn terror. She can get away with pretty much anything short of murder and she knows it."

Honestly, Ellisa was way too cute and WAY too fucking smart for a kid her age.

"Oh my." Misono blinks. "That just me all the more curious!"

However, before you can come up with a suitable retort, the taxi comes to a halt, and you realize that you were now across the bay and at the foot of the massive Lighthouse once again.

And you weren't the only ones here, too. There was a procession of cars and limousines lined up along the front driveway, dropping off their VIPs to much fanfare and attention. Media and reporters from dozens of countries were there waiting to see who would be present.

So obviously Karla wasn't going to be there. She had done a good job staying out of the public eye so far and you were pretty sure she wasn't changing that anytime soon. But, well, you can't help but be curious to see what kind of bigshots would be showing up as well...

>Might as well go see who's showing up.

Hm, well, there were a lot of big shots showing up, right? Well, it couldn't hurt to see who exactly was coming out for Harling's memorial. Despite your indifference towards him, you had to admit that Harling was amazingly charismatic and made quite a lot of friends in high places. Well, at least as many friends as he did enemies.

"Hey, Misono, wanna go rub some shoulder with the big shots?" You grin.

"It would certainly be educational, yes." Misono nods as she makes sure her sword is securely fastened to the sash wrapped around her waist like a big ribbon.

"Um, are you sure that isn't going to be a problem?" You ask, pointing to her sword.

"Do not worry, it's a well known custom here." Misono smiles. "Shall we go then?"

"Sure..." You say, not entirely convinced.

You narrow your eyes as you scan the crowds of VIPs exiting the limos. The first one you could pick out was Prime Minister Nikanor, still the current leader of Yuktobania since unlike Osea, their prime ministers didn't have term limits. You saw him with President Armstrong, the current leader of Osea, both leaders briefly embracing and getting into some pretty intense conversation.

At the same time, you saw some guy getting out of a limo flying Erusean flags. You didn't immediately recognize him, but he was wearing a suit like the other leaders, with a few medals pinned on it showing he had a military background. He was with who you recognized as Princess Cossette, the deposed ruler of Erusea. Now, THEIR relationship seemed far less warm than Nikanor and Armstrong's. More like absolutely frigid. There was definitely some history there.

And then you catch sight of Karla, who seemed to have attracted the attention of a few fans of hers who seemed to have cornered her with their admiration. She didn't look to be in any sort of danger, though maybe she was in need of a wingmate here...

"Hey, Misono, there's Karla over there." You nod to her direction.

"Oh! I see her now!" Misono says with excitement. "Who are those people with her?"

"Probably fans like you." You sigh. This was gonna be tricky to get Karla out of there.

"Hm, I think they are pilots." Misono says as she narrows her eyes.

"What makes you say that?" You pause.

"Look on their shoulders." Misono points. "Unit patches."

You squint, and sure enough, most of the guys talking up Karla had unit patches on the shoulders of their suits. It was blue and white, with what looked a goose or something holding a sword in its beak.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the emblem for the old Voslagian Air Force..." Misono frowns. "If I recall, they're still trying to fight for their independence from Erusea..."

"KARLA!" You say loudly as you practically walk right through the line Voslagian pilots as if they weren't there, your arms outstretched. "It's so great to see you!"

"Oh, Milly!" Karla's eyes light up as she sees you approach. "You actually came!"

"Well of course!" You roll your eyes. "How could your loyal squire NOT come when you called?"

You smugly note that the Voslgian pilots were muttering nervously among each other, when Karla speaks up again.

"Gentlemen, it's been wonderful talking to you all but I'm afraid I do have other matters to attend to." She says politely with a very disarming smile. "Perhaps we can continue some other time?"

"Of course, Mrs. Weiss." One of the pilots bows his head. He looked really damn young, you noted. "It was us who imposed on you, after all."

"Oh please." Karla giggles. "You don't have to be so formal with me."

"We shall be present during the ceremonies, should you wish to continue." The pilot bows his head again as he and his comrades walk off.

"So what was that all about?" You turn to Karla.

"Ah, just a few fanboys looking for pointers." Karla shrugs and nods to Misono. "I take it she's one of your new squadmates?"

"That's right." You confirm.

"T-the Valkyrie herself..." Misono mutters to nobody in particular.

"Karla, this is Misono!" You say, slapping her on the back to snap her out of her fangirl trance. "Misono, this is Karla, though I guess you already know her!"

"Y-yes, that's right!" Misono nods rapidly, looking just as flustered now as Vicky commonly seemed to be.

"Gotta say, you look real sharp." Karla nods approvingly at Misono's kimono. "Never seen anything like it"

"Why thank you!" Misono giggles nervously. "It's a traditional garb in this region."

"Hm, I should think about grabbing one, then." Karla smiles.

"Hey! How about me!" You pout, not happy with Misono getting all the attention.

"And you look properly handsome, Milly!" Karla laughs as she ruffles your hair.

"Anyways, uh, where's Jaeger and Ellisa?" You ask.

You spin around, only to see Jaeger standing there, but Ellisa nowhere in sight. Did she use him as a distraction to throw you off?

Oh that clever-

"Gotcha!" Ellisa laughs as she latches on to your back, nearly bowling you over flat on your face. "Still can't watch your six, huh?"

"Ellisa, what have I told you about ambushing Milly like that?" Karla sighs. "You can seriously hurt her, you know!"

"Awwww, Milly's tougher than that!' Ellisa chirps as she pokes at your cheek. "Isn't that right, Milly?"

"Yeah. Sure." You say with a forced smile.

"Oh dear, so this is Ellisaria?" Misono looks on, curiously.

"Oh yeah, a proper little hellion, as you can see." You note.

"Sorry, she always has far to much energy." Jaeger says apologetically.

"Now dear, you don't have to apologize for her!' Karla tuts. "It's good that Ellisa is so active at her age!"

"C'mon, Milly! Let's go play!" Ellisa whines, her tiny legs digging into your sides. "It's only grownups here and they're all so boring!"

"Um, thanks?" You frown, unsure of whether she was complimenting you or not.

"Quite the apt judgment." Misono chuckles. "Then shall I accompany you?"

"Sure thing!' Karla says happily. "It'll be nice to catch up with one of MIlly's friends!"

You totally didn't just feel a pang of jealousy right there.

Eh, might as well give Misono her opportunity to hang with Karla. Denying that chance to her would be kind a dick move.

"Come on, Auntie Milly Let's flllllly!" Ellisa whines, the back of her feet kicking into your chest.

"All right, all right, we're going!" You grunt as you make a beeline for the grassy promenade area on the borders of the island, where there was more open space for you to maneuver. "And quit calling me Auntie! I'm like, your big sister at best!"

"FULL SPEED!" Ellisa orders, completely not listening to you. "Hit that afterburner!"

"Where do you learn these terms?" You ask suspiciously. "Your mom doesn't talk like that at all!"

"Less questions more flying!" Ellisa pouts. God what a spoiled brat! But she was too damn cute to say anything against!

"All right, fine, but don't blame me if ya get scared outta your mind!" You grin as a spot a clear path to sprint through...

You pause when you see... Princess Cossette sitting on the grass, looking off in the distance rather mournfully. What was she doing here? Shouldn't she be at the ceremony, too?

Your curiosity gets the better of you and you find yourself walking towards her, curious.

"Wow, she's really pretty!" Ellisa whispers to you.

"Yeah, well, I don't think she's greatest role model for you." You whisper back as you close the distance.

"Oh, hello there!' Princess Cossette turns to you, suddenly realizing your presence. "I'm sorry, can I help you?"

"Oh no, we were just sorta passing by and noticed you sitting here all alone." You try to explain yourself.

"You look like somebody pooped your ice cream!" Ellisa says in that charming bluntness only children were capable of.

That elicited a very unroyal snort from the Princess as she tries to hold in her laughter before regaining a big of her composure.

"Well then, the two of you are free to join me and enjoy the view." She smiles. "My name is Princ- I mean- Rosa Cossette D'Elise. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

So there you were, just sitting casually beside a princess. Well, an ex-princess, technically. You were both seated on the grass of one of the promenades circling the Lighthouse, watching the sun slowly set into the sea. Ellisa for once was being quiet, nestled securely between your legs. Looks like she had burnt off a lot of energy already and was busy resting up, thank god.

"I suppose you're wondering why I'm out here and not at the memorial." Cosette says mournfully.

"Well, not exactly, but you're free to tell me." You shrug.

"Yeah! A story!" Ellisa adds.

"Well." Cosette chuckles a bit. "I suppose I just don't have the courage to face everybody there. I don't think I have the right to attend the memorial of a man I helped to kill."

"That's, uh, pretty heavy." You blink.

"Super heavy!" Ellisa nods. "Like the concrete blocks they tie around your legs when they toss you into the ocean!"

"Seriously, where the hell do you learn this stuff?" You eye Ellisa suspiciously.

Cosette bursts out into laughter again, in a very unroyal way. Looks like this was the sort of levity she needed today.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not used to anybody acting so casual around me." Cossette manages to regain some composure. "It hasn't happened since... well... back when I was in high school."

"How's that?" You raise an eyebrow. "I thought everybody knows the princess?"

"Well, it's not commonly talked about, but I was never originally supposed to be in the line of succession." Cossette smiles mournfully. "But... there was a big accident and I suddenly found myself thrust onto the throne, just like that."

"Damn." You blink. "So I guess you weren't as popular as everyone thought?"

"Oh dear, the Conservatives never liked me or my parents." Cosette shakes her head. "They largely considered us usurpers, made whispers that we had the original royal family killed."

"Wow, that's super mafia of them!" Ellisa butts in. "Did you cut all their heads off?"

"It doesn't exactly work that way." Cosette laughs nervously. "Thought I suppose that just made it easier for the Radicals to lure us in, to convince us that they knew what was best for Erusea..."

Cosette sighs, and then looks at her hands.

"And now I'm considered either a powerless puppet or a traitor who led her nation to ruin. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to return to Erusea again."

"To be honest, I'm still pretty pissed about it." You grumble. "We've got Osea here all talking about world peace and everything while they're still occupying half of Belka! What kind of screwed u system is that?"

Yeah, you got out of One Belka, but that didn't mean your desire to see Belka whole again had disappeared. It always lingered deep in your heart, at the very back of your mind-

"Ooooh, Mom's not gonna be happy to know you're still talking about this stuff." Ellisa tuts.

"Shush, twerp, the grownups are talking." You glower.

"Hehe, you? Grownup? Hehehehe." Ellisa giggles. Goddamn kids!

"Believe me, I know very well the feeling of being in Osea's shadow." Cosette puts her hand on yours. "But please, do not let your anger and fear control you. It will only lead to self destruction for you and those around you."

And as if on cue, there was the sound of mass clapping, interrupting both you and Cosette. Sounds like the ceremony was over.

"Well, you should get going." Cosette gives that same mournful smile. "At the very least, the reception will have food and drink so you can eat your fill."

"Yes! Dibs on the deviled eggs!" Ellisa's eyes sparkle.

"You're not coming?" You ask.

"I'd... rather not risk running into that man again." Cosette sighs with annoyance.

"What man?" You frown. "That officer guy you were talking to earlier?"

"Oh, you saw that?" Cosette makes a tired sigh. "That would be Director Labarthe, the current acting head of state for Erusea."

"Oh, so he's like a prince or something?" Ellisa asks.

"Nothing of the sort." Cosette shakes her head. "He merely happens to be the son of the late General Labarthe, one of the leading figures of the Conservative faction."

"You make it sound like you killed him." You frown.

"In a way, yes." Cosette sighs again. "General Labarthe was killed during the height of the civil war between the Conservatives and Radicals. The exact circumstances of death remain unclear, but honestly, there was only one party that would gain from his death."

"And let me guess, he blames you for his old man biting the dust." You conclude.

"...among other things." Cosette nods. "As you can see, our relationship isn't cordial at all."

"Harsh." Ellisa observes.

"Same to you." You say as you take Ellisa's hand. "All right, ready to stuff your face with fancy appetizers?"

"You bet!" Ellisa chirps happily like a hungry baby bird. "I'm gonna eat ALL the deviled eggs!"

You fly Ellisa over to the reception area. However, as you go, you briefly pass by a statue. It's only then that you realize that was the memorial to Harling, a large bronze statue in his likeness as he points to the stars above. You guess it was a reference to his lifelong support for space exploration and the space elevator in general. A fitting tribute to him, you suppose.

However, you pass by the statue in flash, making a beeline straight for the party area.

"Ah! Milly! There you are!" Misono says as she walks up to you. "You missed the whole ceremony!"

"Oh jeez, what a tragedy." You say some what sarcastically. "I was sorta caught up in a few things."

"Ah, well, at least you're here now!" Misono nods. "Karla is over at the lounge area in case you are looking for her. I can look after Ellisaria if you wish..."

"C'mon, Ellisa, let's get you some of those damn eggs." You say as you let Ellisa down back onto her feet. "And remember to get a plate this time! It's gross watching you just eat straight off the table!"

"Okaaaaaaay." Ellisa groans. "Such a party pooper."

"Me!?" You glare at Ellisa. "Don't get ahead of yourself there, twerp!'

And so the two of you proceed to the refreshment table, with you keeping an especially close eye on Ellisa...

As you keep an eye on Ellisa as she piles deviled eggs onto her plate, you catch sight of what appears to be President Armtsrong and a number of other world leaders in a rather heated exchange with Director Labarthe, that guy who apparently didn't like Cosette.

You narrow your eyes. Whatever they were talking about, it seemed to be super important considering how serious everybody looked, despite the party setting. What could they all possibly be talking about?

You do manage to get close enough to get within earshot as you pretend to be awed by a large chocolate fountain. You strain your ears, attempting to listen in on anything important.

"This is my final answer." Director Labarthe says sternly. "Erusea will not join IUN policing efforts, nor will we tolerate any IUN attempt to intervene on the behalf of separatist rebels."

"But Director." Prime Minister Nikanor speaks up. "The people cry for freedom and independence! Will you not listen to them?"

"Independence should not be granted through armed and violent revolution." Director Labarthe calmly retorts. "Erusea shall deal with this as an internal matter. And if I recall correctly, the IUN cannot intervene in a nation's affairs unless that nation has specifically requested such intervention or infringes upon the rights of an IUN signatory. These regions are not IUN signatories, nor are they actually recognized as countries, so the IUN has no legal basis to intervene."

"So this is the path you've chosen, huh?" President Armstrong gives a resigned sigh. "We were hoping things would be different."

"And perhaps they would be, if my father were still alive." Director Labarthe calmly replies. "It's quite the pity that his sizeable Osean escort could not prevent his life from being taken."

Now, you knew an obvious dig when you you heard one. the Director here was definitely dropping the implication that Osea had his old man killed. Now, you weren't sure if it was true or not, or whether Director Labarthe himself believed it, but from what you remember, there were no shortage of conspiracy theories revolving around what exactly happened to General Labarthe that one fateful night.

However, before you could hear any more, you noticed a couple of suited guards eyeing you suspiciously. Crap, it looks like they were on to you!

Crap! It was time to disengage! You quickly shuffle away, pretending to have finally filled your plate. As you head back though, you run right into Karla, who had already recovered custody of Ellisa.

"You've gotten a whole lot nosier since I last saw you." Karla chuckles as she ruffles your hair. "You considering becoming a spy like my uncle?"

"As if." You huff. "I was just a bit curious, that's all."

"Hm, yeah, well, it's not secret that even after the War, Erusea's not playing ball with the other countries." Karla nods.

"Can you blame them?" You point out.

"Not really." Karla shrugs. "Honestly though, Erusea's always been pretty bad at playing nice with others, and it's always bit them in the ass. Looks like it's still just business as usual up top."

"So, are you just here for the memorial, or is there more to it?" You raise an eyebrow. "Guess there's a looooooot of wannabe countries looking for muscle now."

"Oh, are you talking about those Voslagian pilots?" Karla chuckles. "Nah, they're very much like Belka. Too proud to ever sink to hiring mercenaries to fight for them, and it's not like I'm in that sort of profession anymore, anyways. They were just big fans, that's all."

"Uh huh." You nibble on a crab cake, not entirely convinced. "And how's that whole push for getting South Belka back?"

"Getting more complicated by the day." Karla groans as she downs her entire wine glass in one gulp. "Not only did one of our biggest backers, Harling, get killed, but all the conspiracy theories of Belka secretly backing the war aren't helping our image, either."

"Man, politics sounds like a real shitshow." You observe as you start munching on sushi. "It's just way easier to jump in a plane and blow shit up."

"Believe me, I'm tempted to do that sometimes." Karla rolls her eyes.

"You totally should!" You grin. "C'mon, you and your loyal squire can take to the skies once again!"

"I'll give it a thought." Karla nods with a smile. "On that note, I heard you're flying for the IUN now. That's quite interesting."

"As if you didn't know from the start." You narrow your eyes. "I'm sorta half thinking you were somehow behind it, too."

"A typical Belkan conspiracy, eh?" Karla gives a taunting wink.

And that's when the telltale shockwave of an explosion rattles the walls and windows of the building. There was confused mumbling among the partygoers, with many thinking it was an earthquake or something. The combat trained or experienced members, though, were instantly alert, including you and Karla.

"Well shit." Karla glowers as she points in the direction of the bridge.

Sure enough, you could see a thick column of smoke belching from the one road bridge linking the Lighthouse to the mainland.

This didn't look good at all.
