There has been no new news since Sir Barbalius sent a vague letter. He seems to be avoiding you on purpose. What happened? What kind of disturbance will be caused in Finsel by a ball that invites Lord Gaelan and Sir Barbalius at the same time?

## Transcript

### Story Chat 1

Maid: Miss! Miss, the carriage is ready... It's a rare occurrence that your destination isn't the office! How charming, a ball at Lady Casa's!

Magda: It just so happens that both Lord Gaelan and Sir Barbalius are on her invitation list...

Magda: What I have to do today might be more difficult than work... I don't know what Sir Barbalius...

### Story Chat 2

Magda: Greetings, Lady Casa.

Lady B: Ms. Clerk! You're here... Hurry, come help, Sir Barbalius and Lord Gaelan are about to fight!

Magda: What?!

Lady B: It's a mess inside, and I, I dare not try to stop... But fortunately you are here, and you can talk to them! So please help me persuade them to stop.

Gaelan Bavlenka: I warn you, Sir Barbalius, that it is a felony to defame a duke.

Barbalius: Stop throwing about this fancy-sounding rhetoric! Back then you stole the sacred object and caused my father to die unjustly, and now you still want to argue?!

Magda: Lord Gaelan, Sir Barbalius, you have frightened Mrs. Casa's guests... Let's go talk in somewhere else, why why don't we?

Barbalius: Miss Ellenstein... Do you still want to defend this criminal?

Magda: Sir Barbalius, you-

Barbalius: Back then my father was ordered to escort the holy relic, but his traitorous companion took the holy relics for himself and fled his hometown, causing my father to lose his reputation and his life unjustly.

Barbalius: And the culprit of this crime is now sitting at the head of one of the four major families of Finsel... It's too ridiculous, too ironic.

Barbalius: I don't blame you for concealing it, Miss Ellenstein, you have your position, but... You don't even want to agree to my only request. I just hope you won't interfere anymore, that's all.

Magda: I just don't think it's that simple, Sir Barbalius. Maybe you think I am biased towards Lord Gaelan, but according to the information I have collected, there are still to many doubts about this case to be so sure...

Barbalius: Doubts? If that's the case, then why has he been so evasive. He refuses to tell the truth, and let me... Ha, [slander]?

Gaelan Bavlenka: You are too naive.

Barbalius: In front of Miss Ellenstein, under the gaze of the Sky Goddess, I just want to ask you: Gaelan Bavlenka, is it true that you once infiltrated the Knights under a pseudonym and became my father's second-in-command?

Galen Bavlenka: I don't deny it.

Barbalius: Then you disappeared from the Lionheart Kingdom and fled to Rayorca with a new identity. Was it during the time when my father's betrayal happened?

Gaelan Bavlenka: .........

Barbalius: Dare not answer? Later, someone else saw the lost holy relic in Rayorca... Do you dare to say that you didn't bring it there?

Gaelan Bavlenka: That's all the leads you have? Based on this you dare to falsely claim that you have grasped the truth?

Gaelan Bavlenka: You're still too far behind, young man.

Barbalius: You——!

Magda: Lord Gaelan, since you are a witness to what happened back then...

Gaelan Bavlenka: Stop, Ms. Clerk. I have no obligation to prove my innocence, let alone waste time on this meaningless entanglement.

Gaelan Bavlenka: You want to restore your father's honor? Finding the truth seems to be too difficult for you, but it's still not impossible.

Gaelan Bavlenka: Why don't you fight as a knight instead, risk your life and honor. Barbalius Ivan Nars Travers-Lotton, let me see your determination. You Keep talking about what you are looking for.

Magda: A duel to the death?! Wait, wait, wait-

Gaelan Bavlenka: Dare not answer?

Barbalius: I accept! All these people present are witnesses. One month later I will avenge my father in the public square!

Magda: Sir Barbalius left in a huff... How could this be...

Magda: Lord Gaelan, why are you suddenly... Really, a matter of life and death, this is too hasty!

Gaelan Bavlenka: What, are you worried about him or me? Or are you worried about the envoy of the Lionheart Kingdom, the head of the Bavlenka, or, perhaps, the future of Finsel?

Magda: I—

**Barbalius**
Magda: Of course I'm not worried about your sword skills...
Gaelan Bavlenka: So, you want me to show him mercy?
Magda: That's not fair to you either... Ugh. I just... Is there really no other way?
Gaelan Bavlenka: It's a conspiracy, Miss Ellenstein.
**Gaelan**
Magda: You're kidding, it's a duel for your life!
Gaelan Bavlenka: I now understand a little bit why those young people tried their best to dress up like peacocks just to get you to look at them.
Magda: ...
Gaelan Bavlenka: Don't blame me for this decision, Ms. Clerk. This is a conspiracy.
**Finsel**
Magda: Yes! The public duel between the head of Bavlenka and the envoy of the Lionheart Kingdom makes for a bad story, doesn't it?
Gaelan Bavlenka: Unless it's for your heart?
Magda: Why do you have the time to make jokes like that, Lord Gaelan!
Gaelan Bavlenka: Don't worry, Miss Ellenstein. It's a conspiracy, but I'm not unprepared.
**All of Them**
Magda: Of course, of course all of them...!
Gaelan Bavlenka: You are really greedy, Ms. Clerk. Do you know that there is an old saying in Mandaria that you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw?
Gaelan Bavlenka: The more you try to have the best of both worlds, the more likely you are to end up with nothing. After all, everything has a price.
Magda: Lord Gaelan...
Gaelan Bavlenka: You know we both have to do this, Ms. Clerk, this is a conspiracy.
Magda: Conspiracy?

Gaelan Bavlenka: Can't you guess who told Barbalius these stories?

Magda: ...Is it him?

Gaelan Bavlenka: How about it, Ms. Clerk, will you reconsider my last proposal? I'm a better fit for you than that Regent, and for the position.

Magda: You've been tricked into saying this!

Gaelan Bavlenka: I also have things I must do. All right. Little girl, think over my proposal again, there's still time.

Magda: ......

[Ball Ends]

### Story Chat 3

Servant: Miss, you came out of Casa's mansion so early?
