### Summary

In this chapter, the player is introduced to the game. The story starts with three mysterious men planning something. The names of these people are hidden. It is later revealed they are the antagonists. They are talking about assassinating Prince Laz.

The story then focusses on Prince Laz accompanied by The Silver Eagles, which are Claude, Victor and Boris. They are hunting deer, but are then attacked by bandits. Laz flees whilst The Silver Eagles fight the bandits.

After the battle they see Laz's horse. They run offscreen to another field in which Laz is about to be striken by a sword. Claude sweeps in and kills the bandit. Laz was scratched by his sword, which later revealed to be poisoned.

### Pre-combat

*Starts in a room with three people (with hidden names) discussing around a table.*

**Man with sharp eyes**
How are things proceeding?

**Plump Man**
Smoothly... We have already secured a scholar capable of deciphering 「The Book of God」.

**Man in Red Robe**Please make haste. My position will be in jeopardy if it comes to light that I have taken 「The Book of God」.

Plump Man **I believe it is well worth your risk, Your Eminence.**

**Man in Red Robe**
I can only hope so.

**Man with sharp eyes**
...We must begin to think about how we will deal with Laz, as well.

**Plump Man**
As you wish. I have already made the necessary preparations.

**Man with sharp eyes**
...I see. I'll leave it to you then.

*The next scene takes place in a field, with Claude, Victor, Boris and Laz there.*

*A deer appears*

**Claude**
Prince Laz.

**Prince Laz**
Right.

*Pulls out bow and shoots at deer, who dodges and flees.*

**Boris**
So close!

**Prince Laz**
Looks like skipping archery practice back in the day has caught up with me.

**Claude**
So it seems, your highness.

**Prince Laz**
I won't miss next time!

*Some bandits appear*

**Claude**
Bandits?! Please fall back, Your Highness! Victor! Boris!

**Boris**
Roger!

**Victor**
Right!

*Boris and Victor approach the bandits*

**Claude**
We'll hold the bandits up! Please escape, Your Highness!

**Prince Laz**
You have my thanks, Claude!

*Prince Laz dashes away*

**Claude**
We're who you'll be facing. Come at us!

### During Combat

**Claude**
Fight near your allies. They'll assist you!

**Victor**
Attacking from the back or the side increases damage dealt.

**Boris**
Leave the healing to me!

### After Combat

**Claude:**
An assassin after pirnce Laz?

*Laz's horse appears*

**Victor**
Sir! His Highness's horse!

**Claude**Damn! This was a decoy?! Pursue his highness!

*They run to Prince Laz, in a different map tile. There is one assassin about to strike Laz*

**Claude**
!

*Rushes to kill the assassin*

**Claude**
Your Highness! Are you injured?!

**Prince Laz**
I'm fine. My arm was... slightly scratched... But, it's a little tough... to breathe...

*Victor goes to investigate sword*

**Victor**...Sir, the blade was coated with poison.

**Claude**Poison, huh... Boris, please neutralize he poison with your magic.

*Boris approaches Laz*

**Boris**
「In the name of the god of battle! Purify this toxin eating away at this man! Cure!」

*A flash from the magic occurs*

**Boris**
...What?! My cure didn't work?!

**Victor**
This might be a particularly potent poison.

**Prince Laz**
Huff... Huff... That's... a problem... Man, I should've taken my... sword lessons seriously...

**Claude**
We can't properly treat His Highness here. Let's return to the castle!

*In the castle, Laz is in a bed near Doctor Matre*

**Claude**
Doctor Martre, how is His Highness's condition?

**Doctor Martre**
I tried various types of medicines but none were effective in neutralizing the poison. He can endure it for now, but the poison will weaken his body and eventually he'll fall victim to it. If only I knew what type of poison the assassin used. I wonder if there's someone who's quite knowlegdeable about poison somewhere...?

**Claude**
Someone knowlegdeable about poison... Oh!

**Doctor Martre**
What is it, Claude? Do you know of someone?

**Claude**
It takes one to know one, right? The bandit guild might know about the poison used in assassinations.

**Doctor Martre**
I see. The bandit guild, huh.
