## Transcript

### Story Chat 1

Eliza: Cloak, tiara, sceptre... Is everything ready?

Maid: Everything is ready, Ma'am.

Magda: You checked three times yesterday, Mother!

Eliza: Everything has to be perfect. The Ellenstein family has never had a Winter Queen before.

Magda: I've practiced many times already. I promise I won't make a mistake.

Eliza: That's good.

Eliza: I can see you have a plan. Do you know who to choose for the sacrifice?

Magda: How am I supposed to do that? It sounds harder than becoming the Winter Queen.

Eliza: Of course. Very few men have looks, status, and talent. There are four to choose from.

Eliza: And you can only pick one.

Maid: If she can have all four, she wouldn't have a problem!

Eliza: Miss Vivian, what did you just say?

### Story Chat 2

Cleric Pan: Are you prepared, Lady Ellenstein?

Magda: ...Wait, isn't the event in half an hour?

Magda: I'm not ready yet! I still need to change into high heels!

Cleric Pan: Calm down. The ceremony hasn't started. It seems I made a terrible joke.

Cleric Pan: I wanted to help you relax.

Magda: Since you look nervous, I can't help but also be nervous!

Cleric Pan: The previous Snow Festival was surprising... But today you look even better than the Winter Queen herself.

Magda: Have you met her before?

Cleric Pan: No, but it's not necessary. The stories are good enough.

Cleric Pan: I'm going to make preparations now, Lady Ellenstein. May the Goddess bless you.

### Story Chat 3

Lady A: Why is it still snowing? It usually stops around this time.

Noble A: That's why we have the Snow Festival now! ...Aren't you supposed to be a contestant for the title of Winter Queen?

Lady B: When she of all people decided to participate? I heard she won quite easily. So, how did it feel to lose?

Lady A: At least I didn't bribe anyone!

Lady B: Even then, someone has to be willing to pay.

Noble B: Shut up! I don't want to miss seeing the Winter Queen!

Cleric Pan: Ahem.

Cleric Pan: Ladies and gentlemen. We hold onto life during winter so that spring can revitalise us. As the ice is about to disappear, I declare the end of the Snow Festival in the name of the Goddess.

Cleric Pan: But before that, allow me to introduce this year's Winter Queen, Lady Magda Ellenstein. She'll decide who will be her sacrifice.

Cleric Pan: Well?

**Alan**
Sacrifice Alan: I didn't think... you'd pick me.
Magda: I can choose someone else.
Sacrifice Alan: No, it's fine! Don't I have to hand over this sceptre?
Sacrifice Alan: The sceptre is...
Sacrifice Alan: Oh! Found it!
Cleric Pan: Then you-
???: Shouldn't that be given to the real Winter Queen?
Noble A: Is it me or did it suddenly get colder?
Noble B: A blizzard?!
Magda: (Someone descended from the sky.)
Cleric Pan: Lady Ellenstein, please step back.
Cleric Pan: While I don't know how her seal was removed... This person is the Winter Queen.
Winter Queen: The Sky Church? I didn't expect to meet an old enemy.
Winter Queen: Hm, when did the clerics become so young and handsome? Did the old woman come to her senses?
Cleric Pan: You dare to disrespect the Sky Goddess.
Winter Queen: People continue to worship her blindly. Ah, are you having a Snow Festival?
Winter Queen: ...You're the new Winter Queen?
Winter Queen: Answer me.
Magda: (It's... hard to speak.)
Magda: It's too cold...
Sacrifice Alan: Whoever you are, leave Lady Ellenstein alone. Or else, I'll have to ask you to leave as the Guardsmen Captain!
Winter Queen: Oh.
Winter Queen: ...A sacrifice? Hahaha, you're even better than the previous ones.
Magda and Sacrifice Alan: ?!
Winter Queen: Since you've been delivered in person, I'll just...
Sacrifice Alan: What are you doing?! Let go!
Magda: (The Winter Queen took Sir Alan away!)
Lady A: What happened? Why am I covered in snow?
Lady B: Damn it... Ah, my necklace! It's gone!
Magda: Cleric Pan!
Cleric Pan: The Snow Festival is over! Everyone, please go home!
Florna: Sir Alan was... Did the exorcism not work?
Cleric Pan: A mere exorcism can't defeat the Winter Queen.
Magda: Wasn't she killed by the Sky Goddess?
Cleric Pan: The Goddess only sealed her away. It appears the Winter Queen's restraints were destroyed.
Magda: ...What will happen to the sacrifice?
Cleric Pan: In the past, an icicle was used to piece the sacrifice's heart.
Magda: So Sir Alan is in danger!
Cleric Pan: Don't worry. The Winter Queen is still weak.
Cleric Pan: We need to work together to fix this.
**Willow**
Sacrifice Willow: I'm ready to sing for you... my queen.
Magda: Let's finish the ceremony first!
Cleric Pan: Now, give the sceptre to-
???: Don't you think I should be the one to receive it?
Noble A: Why is it suddenly so cold?
Noble B: What's happening?!
Magda: (Someone descended from the sky.)
Cleric Pan: Please be careful.
Cleric Pan: I don't know how her seal was broken but... this is the real Winter Queen.
Winter Queen: I never thought I'd see you people again.
Winter Queen: When did the clerics become so young and handsome? Did the old hag finally change her mind?
Cleric Pan: I see you still dare to disrespect the Sky Goddess.
Winter Queen: Judging by what's going on here, are you having a Snow Festival?
Winter Queen: And you're the new Winter Queen?
Winter Queen: Don't be so nervous.
Magda: (I can't...)
Magda: It's... cold.
Sacrifice Willow: Stay away from her.
Sacrifice Willow: Otherwise, you'll have to pay for ruining the mood.
Winter Queen: Oh, I think I found something interesting.
Winter Queen: Hahaha... Good. I'd say you're even better than the previous boys.
Magda and Cleric Pan: ?!
Winter Queen: Since you made the effort to deliver in person, I'll be taking him.
Sacrifice Willow: Hey, I wouldn't sing for you even if you held me hostage! I swear on my...
Sacrifice Willow: Dignity!
Magda: ...
Magda: (The Winter Queen left with Sir Willow!)
Lady A: W- What... happened?
Lady B: My necklace!
Magda: ...Cleric Pan!
Cleric Pan: Everyone please leave!
Florna: How could the exorcism... not have worked?
Cleric Pan: A mere ritual can't kill her.
Magda: Didn't the Sky Goddess defeat her?
Cleric Pan: The Goddess sealed the Winter Queen. To think the magic would weaken now...
Magda: Then the sacrifice...
Cleric Pan: Unfortunately, the Snow Festival in the past involved stabbing the sacrifice's heart with an icicle.
Magda: Sir Willow will die?!
Cleric Pan: The Winter Queen has yet to regain all her powers.
Cleric Pan: We must stop her before it's too late.
**Black Glove**
Sacrifice Black Glove: You've made the right choice.
Cleric Pan: Now offer the Winter Queen her sceptre-
???: Yes, give it to me.
Noble A: Isn't it a bit too cold?
Noble B: What is that?!
Magda: (Someone descended from the sky.)
Cleric Pan: Stand back.
Cleric Pan: It appears the Winter Queen herself escaped from her seal.
Winter Queen: I didn't expect the Sky Church to be here.
Winter Queen: Did the wench finally understand the importance of having young, handsome clerics?
Cleric Pan: I'm not surprised you'd be this rude to the Sky Goddess.
Winter Queen: You're having a Snow Festival, aren't you?
Winter Queen: Are you supposed to be the new Winter Queen?
Winter Queen: Answer my question.
Magda: (I can't... speak.)
Magda: (It's too cold.)
Sacrifice Black Glove: You know...
Sacrifice Black Glove: It'd be a shame if I was only here for eye candy.
Winter Queen: What?
Sacrifice Black Glove: Doesn't one of my responsibilities involve guarding the queen?
Winter Queen: Interesting.
Winter Queen: Hahaha, I like you more than my previous sacrifices.
Magda and Cleric Pan: ?!
Winter Queen: Let's go.
Sacrifice Black Glove: Are you sure that's a good idea?
Sacrifice Black Glove: ...
Sacrifice Black Glove: Lady Ellenstein, don't forget to save me.
Magda: ...
Magda: (The Winter Queen took Mr. Black Glove!)
Lady A: Why is there so much snow?
Lady B: Where's the wind coming from? ...Ah, my necklace is gone!
Magda: Cleric Pan!
Cleric Pan: Since the Snow Festival has ended, please leave everyone!
Florna: But we... How?
Cleric Pan: The Winter Queen can't be killed with a mere exorcism.
Magda: I thought the Sky Goddess defeated her...
Cleric Pan: The Goddess only sealed her away.
Magda: And the sacrifice?
Cleric Pan: I'm afraid an icicle will be stabbed through his heart like how it was done with past offerings.
Magda: Are you saying Mr. Black Glove will be killed?!
Cleric Pan: Don't worry. The Winter Queen is still weak.
Cleric Pan: We must deal with her before things get worse.
**Alminas**
Sacrifice Alminas: ...I have been looking forward to this day when the Snow Festival began.
Cleric Pan: Now, let the sacrificial offering give the sceptre-
???: To me.
Noble A: Did the weather suddenly become colder?
Noble B: Is this...
Magda: (Someone descended from the sky.)
Cleric Pan: Lady Ellenstein, be careful.
Cleric Pan: The woman before you is the Winter Queen herself.
Winter Queen: Oh my, it seems the Sky Church is still here...
Winter Queen: When did all the clerics become so handsome? Has the old woman come to her senses?
Cleric Pan: It seems you still have that disrespectful attitude.
Winter Queen: You continue to worship her blindly. Are you having a Snow Festival?
Winter Queen: ...You're the new Winter Queen?
Winter Queen: Don't look at me like that.
Magda: (I can't speak at all...!)
Magda: (The cold is...)
Sacrifice Alminas: Please stand back.
Sacrifice Alminas: Let me be the one to protect you.
Winter Queen: Wait.
Winter Queen: Hahaha, you're good. No, better than the offerings before you.
Magda and Sacrifice Alminas: ?!
Winter Queen: I'll be taking what's rightfully mine.
Sacrifice Alminas: Don't worry about me, Lady Ellenstein.
Sacrifice Alminas: I...
Sacrifice Alminas: I...
Magda: (She escaped with Sir Alminas!)
Lady A: What... happened?
Lady B: The wind blew away my necklace!
Magda: ...Cleric Pan!
Florna: Why didn't the exorcism...
Cleric Pan: It will take more to destroy the Winter Queen.
Magda: Wasn't she killed by the Sky Goddess?
Cleric Pan: The Winter Queen was only sealed away. I didn't think she would break free...
Magda: What will happen now?
Cleric Pan: In the past, the Snow Festival always involved stabbing the sacrifice's heart with an icicle.
Magda: Sir Alminas is going to be killed?!
Cleric Pan: The Winter Queen hasn't regained all of her powers yet.
Cleric Pan: There's still time.

### Story Chat 4

Maid: It's still snowing.

Maid: If this continues, will the stable be buried?

Magda: ...

Magda: (I hope he's alright...)

Magda: (The clothes he's wearing won't keep him warm... Please, wait for me.)
