After some reluctance at waking up (the entire castle could hear Savayna yelling at Grant to get up already), a nice breakfast (which ended with Emiri having to go wash out her hair again after making a comment how Nadeline could never match this level) and some farewells (Lorenzo was apparently upset he did not get to 'bond with his future son-in-law'--though Karolina noted that his idea of bonding would have been a duel. Wesley politely declined) the group headed out once more. They boarded the Ifrit and as they were on their way to the Dead Capital of Nabradia--Nabudis, they had gathered around the dining room table, as Nadeline wished to reveal the results of the meeting.

"[b]Reia will remain at the throne--if only to keep up appearances.[/b]" She announced to the group, lightly turning a page in her Esper's Tome, revealing a drawing of Chaos. "[b]Despite this development, Vlyn informed me that the group of assassins--apparently named Utena--have their own agenda. Reia may have hired Lola, but the rest of their group has their own motives. As to what they are, well...we aren't sure. There is a chance we will be encountering them in the future, as well.[/b]" She clasped her hands together at this point. "[b]We know of three of their members so far: Michel, Lola, and Meli. The last of which has demonstrated quite an interesting power...somehow manipulating shadows. My Protect seemed to have been able to, well, protect us from it, but it is something not to be underestimated.[/b]"

"[b]Which leaves the question of what exactly are the other two capable of? And are there more members we need to worry about?[/b]" Grant interjected.
