Chapter 7: As citizens of Vespanola

[Back in Reboldeaux]

Domingo: Okay, thank you for bringing Cyrus Silva back. I was really worried that Sir Lyndon would know. And you know Sir Lyndon; he does things… have you heard on what he has done to his own son… oh. Nevermind. Please head to the Office of Pioneering Support for your registration.

Lucius: Okay then…

[The Office of Pioneering Support]

Lyndon: So you are the Silva Family from the Kingdom of Luxem eh?

Lucius: Yes sir. We are honored to be of service to the Queen of Vespanola.

Lyndon: Yes yes. You have been endorsed by the Royal Family themselves as emissaries for the Queen in Luxem. An audience with the Princess would be ideal but she is not here right now. I believe she has left for Vespanola for the time being. But she will be back soon. When she returns, I expect you to meet her in an audience.

Lucius: I understand.

Lyndon: Very well then. I grant you citizenship of Granado Espada and with it, Vespanola.

[Inside Reception Hall]

Lucrezia: Hey.

Lucius: How’s Cyrus doing?

Lucrezia: He seems better now. Thanks to Sir Lorch Furholden there. Cyrus came through a few minutes ago and told me that if it wasn’t for Lorch, we would have been in a more serious state right now.

Lucius: What was he doing there?

Lorch: Hunting Hero Seals probably.

Lucrezia: Hero seals?

Lorch: The Office of Pioneering Support offers rewards for returning Hero Seals. Hero Seals are a proof of the office’s thrust on complete monster eradication here in the New World. They sell a lot recently.

Lucrezia: You were there for the same reason.

Lorch: *thinks for a while* Yes. You could say that…

*Cyrus grunts*

Lucrezia: Cyrus. You okay now?

Cyrus: Milady Lucrezia.

Lucrezia: You shouldn’t have gone to Al Quelt Moreza alone. You know how unfamiliar we are with this place.

Cyrus: Forgive me, milady.

Lucrezia: Please, hold the formalities. We are equals here.

Cyrus: Yes. Lucrezia. I was completing registration for the Office of Pioneering Support. I heard it is easier to register when you have a hero seal to support you.

Lucrezia: I understand. Thank you Cyrus.

Cyrus: *tries to stand up but gets hurt*

Lucrezia: Please, Cyrus rest now.

Cyrus: I just remembered. We should head to Auch soon. The Reichters are meeting us there tomorrow. *tries to stand up again*

Lucrezia: Then we will meet them there. You stay here and rest.

Cyrus: But.

Lucius: Yes Cyrus. I think it is easier for all of us if you stay here. Where in Auch, you say?

Cyrus: Auch Park, at noon.

Lucius: How long to get there?

Cyrus: I’m afraid we won’t have time. Forgive me. It takes two days to go there by foot.

Lorch: Then go by Leonardo Express. It’ll take only half the day to get there through Leonardo Express.

Cyrus: I tried that also, but we need reservations to use the Leonardo Express. Slots are limited and reservations don’t come easy. You’d need really good influence to use Leonardo Express.

Lorch: No problem. *Lorch walks outside*

Lucrezia: Where are you going?

Lorch: Meet me at Leonardo Express’ spot in 30 minutes. *Lorch leaves*
