Tales of Xillia: Alternative

Chapter 4: Nia Khera

The trio arrived at Nia Khera, a remote village then Alvin speaks after looking around.

Alvin: So this is Nia Khera. I expected it to be more.... fancy?

Milla then talked to a villager with Hyuga following behind her.

Milla: Excuse me, where's Ivar?

Villager: Hm? He went off to find Lord Maxwell and...

The villager gasps then bowed in front of Milla while Hyuga looked at the villager in confusion.

Villager: L-Lord Maxwell?!

Milla: Yes. I have returned.

Milla's presence attracted other people's attention and they all bowed down to her.

Hyuga then groans as a flashback plays inside his head.

Flashback

Ivar: Lady Milla, are you sure about what you're doing??

Milla: Yes. He must stay here for his own safety. That's the promise i made to his parents...

Milla then watched a toddler Hyuga pulling on her hair, causing her to laugh and played with the young child while Ivar watches the two.

Flashback Ends

Alvin: Hey, you ok??

Milla turned to face Hyuga, who shrugs the flashback off him and then the villager Milla is talking to seems to recognized Hyuga.

Villager: You grew into a fine young man, Hyuga.

Alvin: Am i the only one who demands an explaination??

Milla then responds to Alvin.

Milla: What you heard is correct; Before he was in Fennmont, Hyuga was raised here after what happened to his parents.

Alvin: For real?

Hyuga: But what happened to them... to my parents??

Milla then stayed silent and continued talking to the villager.

Milla: So you're saying he's not here??

Villager: Sadly, yes...

Milla sighs and then talked to Hyuga and Alvin.

Milla: Say, you two... could you go gather some temporal stones and bring them to my shrine. My handmaid seems to be away doing their own thing.

Hyuga: S-Sure...

Milla: They are around the village so it wont be that hard.

Hyuga nods.

Hyuga: I-I understand....

Skit: Bondage

Alvin: You see how Milla freeze those monsters in place. I guess she's into bondage...

Hyuga: Is that right...

Alvin: *disappointed* Aww... I thought you'll be embarrassed...

Hyuga: I got used to your innuendos...

Alvin: Looks like our boy has grown into a man....

Milla: It is true that some people find pleasure in being bound and tied...

Hyuga: Umm... where did you...??

Milla: In a book called "Men and Women: Beneath the Sheets"...

Hyuga: *speechless*
