Adam was sitting in his throne. Before long, Beta came bursting in.

Beta: My Lord, We have an issue! 

He looked at her, he blinked several times before speaking. 

Adam: What is it? 

She showed him the latest news paper, the covered had an Image of Princess Rose. She's a wanted Criminal now. 

Adam: "Princess Rose Oriana wanted for attempted Murder"? Beta what happened? 

Beta: I don't know my Lord. But It appears that Princess Rose has Fled to the North of the Royal Capital. I suspect she has not yet left the city. 

Adam: What does the Oriana Kingdom think of this? 

Beta: Apparently the Oriana Kingdom wants to handle it internally as a purely domestic matter. They already sent word to the Midgar Kingdom not to interfere as requested. 

Adam: Something isn't adding up. 

Beta: I expect you to see it as well. Princess Rose was never a foreign Diplomat, she was an Exchange student. It would be more appropriate to judge her by Midgar law.

Adam: ..... Look into the matter. If Princess Alexia gives aid, allow it. She has connects , lets use them. 

Beta: As you wish my lord. Wait where are you going? 

He walks as his armor appeared on him.

<Under ground in a ruined tunnel> 

Rose was running along a wall, her sword drawn. She stopped as she held her chest, she looked down to find a swollen area with black/red electric shooting out. 

Rose: I - I have to keep moving... 

Unknown to her , she was being followed. Down the tunnel further, a small group of knights was killed. Cross stood there, his swords dripping with blood. 

Cross: ..... 

He leaves her be. 

< At the Arena. > 

Adam watches as the fights continue, some were one sided and others a let down. He gets up and begins to make his way down under the stands. He noticed a figure with their hood up approaching . They walked past each other, both stopped.

???: I smell Elf. 

Adam: That voice... 

Both turned drawing their swords, the tips of the blades clashes. Causing a minor shockwave, removing the figures hood. His eyes widened in shock at who it was.
