Dew settled into the rhythm of the airship, finding his place among the crew. As we sailed through the cosmic expanse, I couldn't help but notice the determined glint in his hazel eyes. There was a story lingering behind that resolve, and I knew it was only a matter of time before he shared it.

It didn't take long for Dew to open up. Sitting in the communal area with the crew, he spoke with a quiet intensity, "I'm not just here for adventure. I'm here for revenge. Queen Felice, the so-called ruler of dimensions, she's the one who took my sister from me. I want to make her pay."

The revelation hung in the air, catching everyone off guard. Lucio's eyes widened in disbelief. "Queen Felice? But she's the ruler of dimensions, the protector."

Dew shook his head. "That's what everyone thinks, but Winona found out the truth. Felice isn't who she seems to be. She's the one pulling the strings, and I won't rest until I expose her for what she truly is."

The airship hummed with tension as the weight of Dew's words settled upon us. The crew exchanged glances, grappling with the idea that the benevolent ruler they had perceived might have a darker side.

Lamonte, always perceptive, leaned over to me. "Cap, we're approaching Felice's Palace."

I glanced out the window, and there it was—a grandiose structure, shimmering in the cosmic light. Its pristine walls and majestic towers conveyed an air of regality that seemed to defy the possibility of hidden malevolence.

"Looks can be deceiving," Lamonte murmured as if reading my thoughts. "Let's be cautious."

As the airship approached the palace, the crew marveled at its opulence. However, little did they know that within those grand halls, secrets and shadows awaited discovery. The crew, oblivious to the potential dangers lurking within Felice's Palace, prepared to face the next chapter of their cosmic journey, unaware of the hidden truths that awaited them within its seemingly immaculate walls.
