A month had past since the events of Vollachia...Priscilla and her camp members had arrived to the capital of Lugnica in order to settle down.

During the trip, Sora had the chance to see how Louis Arneb felt about the new surroundings.

He also noticed how Zarestia was interested in how different things are here from the kingdom she came from, Kararagi, and from the empire they had just left, Vollachia.

Once arriving to the capital, Priscilla and her camp arrived at her place.

Arakiya remained hidden from sight since most would recognize her as someone from Vollachia.

This was something to avoid since the last thing she needed was to cause an international incident.

Zarestia was left in the carriage since she was sleeping due to wanting to memories the route they took to reach the capital.

Since she didn't sleep until know, she was left alone by everybody. Before entering, she turned towards Sora, Heinkel, and Al's direction to tell them:

"You two, work with the keyblade master and get stronger if you wish to be any use for me."

"Understood." Al responding, having wanted to get stronger himself ever since the Sephiroth battle.

"..." Heinkel remained silent as he didn't care that much of gaining strength...however he does wish to learn from the one who bested his monstrous son.

Priscilla turned towards Schult, the child attendant of hers.

"I want you to observe them. Gain knowledge from the keyblade master."

"Understood, Priscilla-sama."

Schult nodded before they all watched Priscilla go inside her palace.

Once she had left the area, Heinkel turned towards a corner to be left alone.

"Where are you doing?" Al questioned.

"She said to train with the keyblade master but not at the same time. I'm taking a nap, you can have the first go at it."

"That is one way of interpreting things."

As Al watched Heinkel go sit down away from them and drink some alcohol, the one armed warrior turned towards Sora. As he looked at him, he noticed Louis was right next to him.

"How's she holding up?"

"Louis? She's doing just fine. Just adjusting to the new environment."

"I suppose that's a good sign..." Sora didn't caught it at that moment but after a couple of seconds had passed, he noticed Al's hesitant tone.

Before he could say something in respond, the one armed warrior approached him in order to whisper:

"It isn't a good idea to have her out in the open."

"What?"

"Look, I get you see the good in everyone, hell the other keyblade wielder also has that flaw but you must remember that she's an Archbishop. It isn't simple for many people to accept her because of this fact."

Sora thought on the words being told to him by Al at this moment, knowing that what he said is a valid concern.

Considering the Sin Archbishops he has encountered, many of them are bad people who have done a lot of bad things.

So, if someone were to figure out that Louis Arneb is the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, then things could get...complicated real fast.

"I don't want to sound harsh bro, but I need to look out for the princess's best interest. Although you two have a deal, having her here is very risky for her."
