Bach: Where here?
Misia: There' s a hut at the top of the cliff. We have befriended the old man residing there.
Bach: I see.
Old Man: Misia Reichter? Is that you?
Misia: Yes sir. Is there anyway that Lord Stein is here right now?
Old Man: [stares at Bach]
Misia: It's okay. He is family.
Old Man: I understand. Let me just get him. Lord Stein. You have visitors.
Misia: He is here!
[And the door opens]
Stein: Misia!
Misia: Lord Stein!
Bach: It's nice to see you again Stein. [Bach grabs Misia's arm and points a gun to her]
Misia: Lord Bach!!!
Stein: What is the meaning of this?
Bach: Hand over the crest!
Stein: What?! Why? What do you want to happen Lord Bach?
Bach: Ever rememebred when we were a little bit younger. That time when we did not have a solution to Luxem's problems. When Luxem was in its deepest... that long nadir of pain and sorrow. That was unacceptable. And what did the king do?! Sell out pioneering families to Vespanola. This sparked the hate in me. My hate for the Kingdom of Luxem.
Stein: You know it was not Luxem's fault. It was Vespanola! It took advantage of our country.
Bach: And the king just accepted it. All my life I have lived in the King's castle. If you only knew the immoralities of the royal family. If you only witnessed it first hand. What happened to Luxem was what the royal family deserved! Not us. Not the people. This is for change Stein. Change!
Stein: You wish to start a revolution? Is that it?
Bach: No Stein... I already have.
Stein: What do you mean?
[Bach showed 4 small jewels pinned inside his coat.]
Stein: You have 4.
Bach: Yes. As we speak, Luxem is already in a civil war. Those who believe in me versus those who currently own the throne. And guess who has the upper hand?
Stein: You...
Bach: Yes! I was supposed to get hold of the crest, but upon my army's arrival to the King's throne room, the royal crest was already shattered to pieces. And the King, sitting in his throne dead by suicide. But no matter. All I have to do is remake the crest which the five families hold.
Stein: The royal duty of the the 5 families of Luxem. Guardians of the crest.
Bach: Precisely. I have learned this from the elders of Luxem. This is not a well known fact. Very few only hold this knowledge. That at the event Luxem would fall, the original crest will be destroyed and with it is the life of the King. And all of Luxem's hopes will be placed in the hands of the five families protecting Luxem.
Stein: What happened to the other three families?
Bach: The 5th Family, the Arches have succumbed to my will. The 3rd Family, the Mineratti have showed resistance. But it is futile. They are locked up at the deepest dungeons of Luxem for their insubordinance.
Misia: The Silvas! The Silvas are here in Granado Espada!
Bach: Which is why I came here personally. The Silva's crest was more difficult than I have imagined. Probably because I have to create my army here from the start. But with the help of powerful people, I was able to get the crest of the 2nd Family. Now all that is left is yours. Hand it over Stein. If you care for your name-sister's life!
Misia: No Lord Stein. This is his last crest. We cannot hand this over.
Stein: But...
Bach: Yes Stein. Would you rather suffer the dread of losing your only remaining family member for a piece of of the crest.
Stein: ...
Bach: So what will it be?
