Citadel Guard: Halt, Chancellor Alev.

Alev: What is it?

Citadel Guard: No one is allowed into the palace.

Alev: By whose authority? Has His Majesty awoken?

Citadel Guard: I cannot tell you.

Alev: What do you mean by that? As the official heir to the throne, I'm currently acting as the King’s proxy. No one has the authority to prevent me from entering.

Citadel Guard: Things have changed. It’s time for you to let go of the authority you usurped!

Alev: What?! Are you… part of the Red Flag Alliance…?

Citadel Guard: Let us create out world with our own hands, my fellow soldiers!

"Lord": It’s starting… We have to make it into the palace!

…

Alev: Ugh…! Solphi, Solphi! Where are you?!

Solphi: Alev…?

Alev: Solphi! Are you okay? Were you hurt?

Solphi: I'm all right… How’d you get in so fast? And who are these people with you?

"Lord": I'm "Lord", Monarch of Avillon. I'm here to help King Aslan.

Solphi: You're…!

Solphi: Alev, these people are dangerous! They're here to overtake Dakkeon!

Alev: Solphi, I have something to ask you.

Solphi: Come here by my side! Don’t get close to them!

Alev: Solphi… Why are you with people bearing arms against me? Why are you standing together with the Red Flag Allaince…?

Solphi: Th-these people… kept me safe! They made sure I wasn’t hurt. That’s it!

Alev: Solphi, are you involved in whatever made His Majesty sick…?

Solphi: What're you talking about?! There's no way I’d be involved!

"Lord": You know what brain bender is, right?

Solphi: How did you…?!

"Lord": Solphi Revenheit, show us your other self. The one beneath the surface.

Solphi: Who do you think you are?

Alev: Solphi…? Solphi…!

Solphi’s Shadow: Heh heh! Ha ha ha!

Alev: Solphi… This can't be you… Tell me it’s not you!

Solphi’s Shadow: Ha ha ha! I can't tell you how much I wanted to show you this side of me, Alev!

Alev: You…

"Lord": And that, right there, is her other personality.

…

Alev: Solphi… Is this really you?

Solphi’s Shadow: You’ve never met this part of me, have you? Nice to meet ya! I really mean it!

Alev: I can't…

Solphi’s Shadow: You're so pitiful and naïve, Alev. You're too nice. I can't tell you how hard it was watching you struggle so much as I hid behind my “shield”. There were so many times that I wanted to take control and just start picking on you, but sadly I had to wait because the time just wasn’t right.

Alev: …

Solphi’s Shadow: Soon the Great King Aslan will die and the Red Flag Alliance will rise up across the land. You can guess how surprised I was when the Monarch of Avillon over there showed up and started trying to ruin everything.

Alev: So, you really were the one behind this…

Solphi’s Shadow: Yup, it was me! Who else could it have been? Ha ha ha! You were so enamored and blinded by your affection for me that you were totally clueless! The best was when you would wish me luck, having no idea that my “arcane healing arts” were slowly killing the King! Ha ha ha!

"Lord": Shut up.

Solphi’s Shadow: What'd you say?!

"Lord": Villains who talk so much always lose. I would say you should save your energy, but you can't win either way.

Solphi’s Shadow: You know, “Brain bender” was just a by-product I happened to discover during my arcane studies. Poison’s not my field; I specialize in something else.

"Lord": Again, stop talking.

Solphi’s Shadow: I'm gonna have fun burning you to a crisp!

…

Solphi’s Shadow: Ha ha! I guess you weren’t just all talk.

Alev: Solphi, I will never forgive you for what you’ve done!

Solphi’s Shadow: Alev, the only one who can forgive me is me.

Fram: You're the worst! How can you betray someone who was so good to you?!

Mei Ling: One of the most despicable things a person can do is repay good will with evil… You must be cleansed!

Solphi’s Shadow: Ha ha! Do you really think you’ve won here? You think I wouldn’t have anticipated the absolute worst outcome? We might not have been able to overtake Dakkeon, but there's no hope for you anymore! The Empire of Gallus has been reborn! All who oppose the Empire will be turned to ash!

"Lord": I won't let that happen.

Solphi: Ngh… A-Alev…

Alev: Solphi…?

Solphi: Alev… I'm sorry…

Alev: Solphi…!

Fram: She disappeared!

"Lord": She used an ancient teleportation scroll. We couldn’t have caught her.

Alev: I… I can't…

"Lord": Alev, I'm sure there's a lot running through your head, but I have good news. Now that she’s far enough away from King Aslan, he’ll start to become himself again.

Alev: What…?!
