The Dark Bride has awakened. What will Kafka and Fiona do once they find out?
(Patch!) (Patch!)
Dark Bride: "Hehehehe… so I'm back again… hahhh… finally I can move… finally I can feel… my children… are they doing well?… I can feel them at least… they are nearby… they are in Weimarer… I'll try to talk to one of them… (Hello?)"
Dante: "(…Ha… hello?)"
Dark Bride: "(Oh… you can hear me? Hehehe… that beautiful voice… is that you… my dear Dante?)"
Dante: "(Mo… mother…)"
Dark Bride: "(Yep… it's me… hey… I'm in Weimarer… but… I'm stuck on some tower… and as you know I'm afraid of heights… so… uh… could you maybe come pick me up?)"
Dante: "(We are in Heidelberger…)"
Dark Bride: "(Huh?… (Pouting)… should I wait now?)"
Dante: "(But you can just come here)… I… don't know…"
Dark Bride: "Mmmm… I'm scared… (pouting)… can't someone come get me?… Gerrard can do it, he owes me something… after all that idiot ate my favorite ice cream back then… that was the day my brother shot the arrow… do you know how annoying that is? I would have fallen asleep with a nice snack… anyway… my brother is so screwed… he can prepare himself… I'll kick him so hard… anyway… send Gerrard here please… I'm cold… oh… I'm half naked… okay… so look away when you see me… otherwise you'll see how flat… I mean… how beautiful I am… I'm only wearing a nightdress… for some reason it's torn… below I have pajama pants… ugh… I stink so much… well I slept for 200 years and couldn't shower… even so… my sweat is still valuable… right, Dante?)"
Dante: "(What?… uh yes… of course… it smells… like… uh… good sweat…)"
Dark Bride: "Hahhhh… good… I'll wait here… Gerrard should hurry…"
Dante: "(Wait a second… he's coming now.)"
Dark Bride: "Huh?"
(Krach!)
(Patch!)
Gerrard landed directly behind her.
Dark Bride: "Uh… oh dear… I forgot how creepy your ability is…"
Gerrard: "Mother…"
Dark Bride: "Ahhh… eyes closed…"
Gerrard: "Ugh… sorry…"
Gerrard closed his eyes.
Dark Bride: "Damn… where is my chest… no one is allowed to find out that I'm flat… uh… I mean… uh…"
Gerrard: "Uh…"
Dark Bride: "Hahhhh… well whatever… you won't tell anyone, right my boy?"
Gerrard: "…uh… sure… I mean… you're not that flat…"
(Krach!)
Gerrard: "Urk!"
She hit him with a frying pan.
Dark Bride: "Hey!"
Gerrard: "Ouch… where the hell did you get that pan from?"
Dark Bride: "Oh… when Rudeus attacked me I was cooking… he probably forgot to put the pan away… your bad luck…"
Gerrard: "Ugh…"
(Some hours earlier)
Gerrard: "What did you just say, Dante?"
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Dante: "I heard mother… she's awake…"
Fiona: "Damn…"
Kafka: "I… I think… we're too late…"
Fiona: "Hahhhh… well that's just great…"
Gerrard: "Hmm… you two…"
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Gerrard: "I assure you… mother is not like you think… really… Kafka, you don't think it would be better if Gerta died, right?"
Fiona: "Hmm… hahhh… well… at least it's not Dracula… Rumpelstiltskin… or Cinderella… or Henry… but still…"
Kafka: "Hahhh… we have to go, Fiona… either way… it already happened…"
Fiona: "Yep… Count Heinz will not like this at all…"
(One hour later)
Count Heinz: "Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!"
He shouted into the telephone so loudly that something was thrown.
Count Heinz: "What did you do?!… how did this happen?"
Kafka: "We didn't know that it would be enough if the blood reached her…"
Count Heinz: "Damn… hahhhh… stay in Heidelberger please… it's not your fault… I should have thought about the fact that a dead family member can be awakened through blood… hahhhh… ow… hot… hot… I'm coming to you…"
Fiona: "(Sweating)… that… didn't sound good…"
Kafka: "(Sweating)… mhm…"
(Meanwhile)
Dante: "Ugh… get dressed quickly… hey… can someone help me with the cravat?"
Gerta: "Come here, I'll help you…"
She helped him. Just then the Dark Bride entered.
(Patch!) (Patch!) (Patch!)
Dark Bride: "My children…"
They stood in a line.
Dark Bride: "No reason for this tension… I want to address someone here… Gerta… Popow… Lissana Gerta Popow… that's your name, right?"
Dante: "Lissana…"
Gerta: "Ugh… yes, that's me…"
Dark Bride: "Listen… I'll call you Lissana, is that okay?"
Lissana: "Yes… that's fine."
Dark Bride: "I heard you are sick… come here…"
Lissana: "Mhm…"
She went to her.
Lissana: "Mmm…"
Dark Bride: "My name is Lilly Ruthworth… the sister of Rudeus Ruthworth… Death!"
Lissana: "Mhm…"
Lilly: "Listen… I heard you helped me… but only to remove the disease, right?"
Lissana: "Ugh… mmm…"
Lilly: "No problem my dear… you don't need to be afraid… I won't kill you… I never intended to… on the contrary… here… drink this…"
Lissana: "What is that?"
Lilly: "Your cure… but I warn you… you will lose Cinderella's curse… but in exchange you'll be cursed by me… hehehe… but it's not deadly like Cinderella's… otherwise I wouldn't give it to you…"
Lissana: "Ugh… okay…"
She drank it.
(Gulp!)
Lissana: "Ugh…"
Lilly: "Do you want to know what it is made of?"
Lissana: "Not your blood…?"
Lilly: "Yes… my blood… and… the sweat from my armpits…"
Lissana: "Urk… ghhhh…"
Lilly: "Better don't throw it up… otherwise it won't work…"
Dante: "Ugh… Gerta… I mean Lissana… that's great… you got the honor to drink mother's sweat… wait… armpit sweat?"
Lilly: "Ugh… I noticed something, Zoe…"
Zoe: "Yes… mother…?"
Lilly: "I… heard you killed those phantom Namesis… is that true?"
Zoe: "Yes…"
Lilly: "The pregnant one too?"
Zoe: "Yes…"
Lilly: "Hmmmm…"
Zoe: "Mother?"
Lilly: "Stay still for a moment…"
Zoe: "Huh…"
She held her cheeks… then Zoe started screaming.
Zoe: "Ugh… mother…"
Lilly: "Child murderers are not welcome with me!!!"
She touched Zoe's stomach… Zoe tried to resist… but it didn't work… her spine came out of her body…
Zoe: "Ugh… hahhhh… ughhhhhhhhhhhh…"
(Krack!)
She began to transform… and became a figure of bones…
Lilly: "This is your just punishment…"
She is dead. Her bones fell to the ground.
(Splach!)
Lilly: "Let this be clear… whether the child is human… animal… nature spirit… or even a Namesis… I make no exceptions!"
Dante: "Ugh…"
Lilly: "Hahhhh… Gerrard, prepare the bath for me… I need to wash my beautiful skin…"
Gerrard: "Sure…"
(Some minutes later)
(Splach!)
Lilly: "Hahhhhhhh…"
She was deep in the bath. The tub was completely covered, only her head, neck and a bit of her shoulders could be seen.
Lilly: "Mmm… stupid body… I thought my chest would grow… tss…"
(Knock!) (Knock!)
Lilly: "Huh?"
The door opened.
Gerrard: "Sorry for disturbing you, mother…"
Lilly: "No problem, you can hardly see me anyway… only my head, neck and shoulders… what is it?"
Gerrard: "What do we do with Lissana?"
Lilly: "What else… let her go… she did her job…"
Gerrard: "But… can she really just go?"
Lilly: "Hahhhh… listen Gerrard… I don't like forcing people to work for me… she is a 25 year old woman who only did this to end her suffering… let her go… and give her your number in case she needs help…"
Gerrard: "Okay… that reminds me… there are two who could bother us…"
Lilly: "Hmm?"
Gerrard: "Wolf Kafka and Fiona Househould."
Lilly: "Hmm? Why…?"
Gerrard: "They tried to stop us from getting your body parts… oh and by the way… Fiona Househould takes care of a child named Cossette… it's not her biological child… should we kill Wolf Kafka and Fiona Househould?"
Lilly: "What? No… you can't do that to a child… are you crazy? Fiona Househould takes care of a child… you can't just make the child an orphan again… it's not her biological child?"
Gerrard: "No… she takes care of her after her foster parents died…"
Lilly: "What… that's even worse… she lost her parents and foster parents… we can't do that to the girl… and this… uh… Wolf Kafka… wolf, right?"
Gerrard: "He is someone important to Gerta… I mean Lissana…"
Lilly: "Leave them alone… no reason to spill unnecessary blood… I never want to do that again… okay… actually… I'd like to meet them…"
Gerrard: "What?"
Lilly: "You know what… yes… I want to meet the two… call them please… if possible today… I'd like to see them… that would be nice…"
Gerrard: "Okay…"
(Meanwhile)
Kafka: "Hahhhh…"
Fiona: "Damn…"
Cossette: "So the Dark Bride is awake?"
They had returned to their hotel a while ago.
Kafka: "Yes…"
Fiona: "Exactly…"
Naomi: "Oh dear…"
Kafka: "Ugh… damn… we were so close…"
Fiona: "Hahh… before we left we took Melinda's corpse… but the grave people will take care of it…"
Naomi: "Okay… I'll make something to drink for you…"
Kafka: "For me please a coffee…"
Naomi: "And Fiona, what do you want?"
Fiona: "A cold drink… orange juice would be great…"
Naomi: "Okay…"
Cossette: "And me?"
Naomi: "Oh hehe… what do you want, Cossette?"
Cossette: "I want a frozen drink… I mean… a drink with ice…"
Naomi: "Oh… but… isn't that unhealthy…"
Fiona: "No problem, give it to her…"
Cossette: "Yes… thank you… thank you Fiona…"
Fiona: "Hehehe…"
Naomi went to the kitchen.
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… I can't stop thinking… how the hell did this happen…"
Kafka: "Who would have thought it could happen so fast…"
Fiona: "Hahhhh…"
Cossette: "Fiona… are you okay?"
Fiona: "Huh?… oh yes… I'm fine, my little one…"
Cossette: "Mm…"
She stroked her hair.
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "Were you worried…"
Cossette: "Yes… huh?… ugh… Kafka… Fiona… there's something behind the window…"
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm… ugh…"
Cossette: "Hahhh…"
It was Gerrard. He opened the window.
Gerrard: "Shhh… don't worry… I won't hurt you…"
Kafka: "What do you want?"
Naomi returned.
Naomi: "And here are your drinks… huh?"
She almost dropped them, but Gerrard caught them.
Gerrard: "Sorry for the intrusion, ma'am… really… it's important…"
Naomi: "Ugh… okay… should… should I give you something to drink… I mean…"
Gerrard: "Thank you, very kind of you… but I think this is urgent… the Dark Bride wants to see Wolf Kafka and Fiona Househould…"
Kafka: "What?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Gerrard: "Don't worry… she won't hurt you… should I bring her here… or do you want to come… she would understand…"
Kafka: "Cossette would be in danger here…"
Fiona: "No… she doesn't hurt children… fine… I'll meet her…"
Kafka: "Ugh… okay… then I'll come too… uh… we're really tired though…"
Gerrard: "Oh… right… uh… yes… then I'll bring her to you… that's no problem… really…"
He disappeared quickly.
Kafka: "Naomi… uh… it would be good if you prepared drinks for two more people… better prepare both coffee and cold drinks…"
Naomi: "Okay…"
(Some minutes later)
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Hmmm… if they don't come in three minutes I'll drink the juice myself… I don't care…"
Kafka: "Hmmmm…"
(Dong!)
Kafka: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Cossette: "Oh there he is again… someone is on his shoulder…"
He opened the window.
Gerrard: "We're here…"
The Dark Bride jumped down.
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Lilly: "Hello… I'm Lilly Ruthworth… nice to meet you… huh?"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Lilly: "Ugh…"
She looked at Cossette. Cossette got nervous.
Lilly: "Ugh… she's so cute!!!"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Lilly went to her.
Lilly: "You're so adorable… my goodness… mmm… come here… come here… sit on my lap… please please please…"
Cossette: "Ugh…"
Cossette jumped onto her lap.
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Gerrard: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Hmmm…"
Lilly: "Haha… how cute… how old are you, my little one?"
Cossette: "11…"
Lilly: "Oh… you look younger… 9 or even 8…"
Cossette: "Oh…"
Lilly: "Doesn't matter… you're so cute…"
Cossette: "You are the Dark Bride…"
Lilly: "Call me Lilly… yes, I'm the Dark Bride…"
Cossette: "Oh… you look prettier than I thought… I thought you were an old hag…"
Gerrard: "Ugh…"
Kafka: "Ughhh…"
Fiona: "Ghhh… Cossette…"
Lilly: "Hahahahaha… you're funny… mmm… you're so cute… mmm… can I get a kiss on the cheek… please… please…"
Cossette: "Oh…"
(Smack)
Lilly: "Hahahah mmmmm… how cute…"
Fiona: "I hate to interrupt… but how about we finally drink the cold drinks… my orange juice is waiting… and I worked hard…"
Lilly: "Oh… sorry…"
Naomi came.
Naomi: "Here… please…"
Lilly: "Oh… for me too… thank you very much…"
She took the cold kiwi juice.
Lilly: "That's very kind of you…"
Naomi: "Here… choose… cold or hot…"
Gerrard: "Oh thank you, ma'am…"
He took the coffee.
Naomi: "Cossette…"
Cossette: "Thank you."
Naomi: "Here Kafka… your coffee…"
Kafka: "Thanks…"
Naomi: "And you too, Fiona… your orange juice…"
Fiona: "Thank you very much."
Naomi: "Mhm…"
She sat on the bed.
Naomi: "Oh… sorry… I… uh… I'll go then…"
She wanted to stand up, but Lilly smiled.
Lilly: "Stay… my dear…"
Naomi: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Sit down… no problem… the Dark Bride just wants to talk…"
Naomi: "Oh…"
Kafka: "Mhm… sit down."
She sat.
Lilly: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "(Drinks)… mmm… hehe…"
Lilly: "Mmmm… how cute you are…"
Cossette: "Do you want a sip?"
Lilly: "No thank you… very sweet, but…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Lilly: "I want to tell you something… I don't mean you any harm… I know that Gerta, or rather Lissana… likes you, Kafka…"
Kafka: "Oh… Lissana… I see…"
Lilly: "Hehe… her name is Lissana Gerta Popow…"
Kafka: "Oh…"
Lilly: "And you, Fiona… I heard how you take care of Cossette… a child… I like that… someone who is kind to children is someone I would never hurt…"
Cossette: "Oh yes… Fiona is very kind… she strokes my head and always sleeps next to me and keeps me warm…"
Fiona: "Ugh… (blushes)… Cossette!"
Lilly: "Ah I see… you always look so serious, but you care about Cossette… hehe… children always manage to change people…"
Fiona: "Hmph… and why should we trust you?… I mean… that you don't plan anything bad?"
Lilly: "I just want to live peacefully with my family… that's all… nothing more… the whole Death Family thing doesn't interest me anymore…"
Fiona: "Hmmm…"
Lilly: "Hehehe… you have the card of the Mysterious… from Holle, right?"
Fiona: "Yes…"
Lilly: "I see… Holle is like me, a half-banshee… but… well… she is actually the daughter of Cinderella… hehehe…"
Fiona: "Hmmm…"
Lilly stood up, still carrying Cossette.
Cossette: "(Gulp)… mmm…"
Lilly: "Hehe… I like taking care of children… I like them so much… whether they're naughty or not… Zoe, by the way, I killed her because she killed those Namesis children… in case you're interested…"
Fiona: "Hmm?… just like that?"
Lilly: "When it comes to children, I don't joke…"
Cossette: "(Gulp)… mmm… (giggles)…"
Lilly: "Hehehe…"
Cossette: "Oh… you smell so good, Lilly…"
Lilly: "Oh yes… thank you very much, my little one…"
Fiona: "Hmmm…"
Lilly: "I wanted to meet you… out of interest… hehehe… oh and by the way… I would also like to work with you…"
Kafka: "Huh?"
Naomi: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Lilly: "I know it sounds strange… but the safety of people also interests me… not just children… you see… there are parents…"
Fiona: "You could adopt them…"
Lilly: "You understand… no one can replace the warmth of a mother… no child can live without their mother… a child without a mother… is like a child losing its warmth forever…"
Cossette: "My mother abandoned me and even cursed me… that's why I don't miss her at all…"
Lilly: "Good… some mothers and parents maybe… hehehe…"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Lilly: "So Cossette… do you want to come with me?"
Cossette: "No thanks… I like you, but I'd rather stay with Fiona…"
Lilly: "Hehehe… I understand… oh… you like me?"
Cossette: "Oh?… yes… I mean… you're nice to me… I imagined you differently… but you're even very young… you look young… you're a bit taller than me…"
Lilly: "Hehehe… I'm 158 cm tall… thank you very much… well… anyway… Kafka… Lissana will leave us… I don't want her to be forced to work for us anymore… and Fiona… I think it's good that you take care of Cossette… that's all I wanted to say… Kafka also seems nice to Cossette…"
Cossette: "Kafka… is almost as tall as me…"
Kafka: "(Sweating)… thanks for the reminder…"
Gerrard: "(Pfff)…"
Fiona: "Mmmm…"
Lilly: "Hahahaha… you don't mince words… hehehe…"
Naomi: "Oh dear…"
Lilly: "And you, Naomi…"
Naomi: "Yes?"
Lilly: "You also seem like a nice girl…"
Naomi: "Oh?"
Cossette: "Yes… she's super duper nice!"
Naomi: "Oh… (blushes)…"
Lilly: "Hehehe… nice to have met you…"
Fiona: "Wait a moment… there's one more thing… someone who sent us here… his name is Count Heinz… I think you should meet him… he's worried… I don't care, but he does…"
Lilly: "Count Heinz?… is he nice to children?"
Kafka: "Well… he has nothing against children… and he owns a hospital and takes care of children for free… whether they're orphans or not…"
Lilly: "Good… then I'll talk to him as soon as possible… I'll go now… Cossette…"
Cossette: "Will you come back?"
Lilly: "Hopefully… hehe…"
She kissed Cossette on the forehead and placed her on the sofa.
Lilly: "For an 11 year old she behaves… a bit childish…"
Fiona: "Mhm… that's because she was never allowed to be a child… I don't care… as long as she's happy…"
Lilly: "That's how it should be… hehehe… and you, Kafka… Gerta… I mean Lissana… will come to you… she's probably nearby… I can feel her…"
Kafka: "Oh… okay…"
She left the room with Gerrard.
Gerrard: "Thank you for the coffee, Ms. Naomi…"
Naomi: "You're welcome…"
They left.
Naomi: "Hmm…"
Cossette: "She's nice… I thought she was okay…"
Kafka: "Mhm…"
Fiona: "Yes… I want to rest anyway… Cossette, let's go to sleep… and you, Kafka… what are you doing now?"
Kafka: "Uh… see Gerta… I mean Lissana…"
Fiona: "Okay…"
Naomi: "Hmm…"
(Some minutes later)
While Cossette and Fiona slept, and Naomi slept in the other bed, Kafka went outside… there she was… Lissana…
Kafka: "There you are… Lissana…"
Lissana: "Ugh… damn…"
Kafka: "Should I call you Gerta or Lissana?"
Lissana: "…Lissana please…"
Kafka: "Okay… Lissana… how are you now?"
Lissana: "I… am cursed now… by the Dark Bride because of her blood… but at least it's not deadly…"
Kafka: "I'm glad…"
Lissana: "Hmm…"
She blushed.
Lissana: "I'm… sorry, Kafka…"
Kafka: "It's okay…"
Lissana: "Ugh…"
Kafka: "I understand…"
Lissana: "I came here… to see you… or rather… to know… if… if… if… you… would… come… with me…"
Kafka: "Hmm?"
Lissana: "On a date…"
Kafka: "Oh… a date?"
Lissana: "Yes…"
Kafka: "Damn yes…"
Lissana: "Huh?"
Kafka: "Mhm…"
Lissana: "Mmm…"
She went to him and hugged him.
Kafka: "Ugh…"
Lissana: "Finally… I can be free… and live with you… Kafka… I'm so sorry…"
Kafka: "It's okay… Gerta… sorry… I mean Lissana…"
(Meanwhile)
While they talked… Fiona watched them from the window with Cossette.
Cossette: "I'm happy for them…"
Fiona: "Mhm…"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "Come… let's go sleep…"
Cossette: "Okay…"
(Meanwhile)
Count Heinz: "Damn… damn…"
He drove his car.
Count Heinz: "Hahhh… what… is going on now…"
He stopped. There were people.
Count Heinz: "What's going on here?"
The police came to him.
Count Heinz: "Did something happen?"
Police officer: "Count Heinz, right?"
Count Heinz: "Yes… I want to leave Eichenwalde… please get out of the way…"
Suddenly they pulled out their weapons.
Count Heinz: "Ugh… what…"
(Bang!) (Bang!)
They shot him multiple times… more than 40 shots…
Count Heinz: "Ugh… urk… urk…"
Until he… died.
Police officer: "Hmmmm…"
They removed their masks. They were people in strange suits, dark green and black. This was a well known criminal group that works for money… Deadlock.
Duncen: "Hmm… so now we've taken care of the Count… let's quickly go to Neuschwanstein and take the important documents…"
(One day later)
Cossette: "Hhhh…"
Fiona: "…hahh…"
(Meanwhile)
Lissana: "Hahhh… Kafka… and what do you think of this shampoo?"
Kafka: "Uh?… I found it rather strong than good smelling…"
Lissana: "Hehehe… okay… I'll make your coffee now…"
She kissed his cheek.
Kafka: "Okay…"
Lissana: "Okay…"
She was wearing an undershirt and mid length pants, while Kafka wore a T shirt and short pants.
Kafka: "Hmm… Count Heinz should actually be here soon…"
(Ring… Ring)
Kafka: "Huh?"
Lissana: "Should I answer?"
Kafka: "Uh?… sure…"
She answered the phone.
Lissana: "Hello?…"
Suddenly a red liquid came out of the phone.
Lissana: "Ugh… hey… Kafka… look…"
Kafka: "Ugh… what is that…"
They looked at it.
Kafka: "That's blood…"
Lissana: "But… how did it come through the phone…"
Kafka: "No idea…"
He heard a knock.
Kafka: "Hmm?"
He opened the door.
Kafka: "Huh?…"
It was someone who worked for Count Heinz. His name was Frank.
Frank: "Kafka… I have… bad news…"
Kafka: "What is it?"
Frank: "Count Heinz… was murdered last night…"
Kafka: "Ugh…"
(Some minutes later)
Cossette: "Huh?"
(Knock!)
Fiona: "Hmm?… who is it?"
Cossette: "I'll open…"
Cossette opened the door.
Cossette: "Kafka?"
Fiona: "What is it?… you look exhausted…"
Kafka: "Fiona… Count Heinz… was murdered last night…"
Fiona: "Huh!"
(Meanwhile)
Queen Barbara Hertha will speak today.
Barbara: "Hello… my dear people… today is a sad day… Count Heinz… has left us… he was brutally murdered with 40 shots… without remorse… without humanity… they killed a man who did so much for others… who saved so many… in honor of Count Heinz… who cared for children, whether orphans or children with parents, free of charge in his hospital… and helped reduce poverty in Eichenwalde… from now on every December 15th will be a day to honor Count Heinz… Count Hans Heinz… my father also has something to say…"
Ludwig came.
Ludwig: "Hello dear citizens… as you've heard… this is a sad day… a day on which we lost a hero… a truly brave man… we do not yet know who the perpetrators are… but we must assume that it was the criminal group Deadlock…"
Deadlock is a group of bounty hunters and mercenaries who kill and kidnap for money… regardless of whether the victim is a child, elderly person or woman. Deadlock has existed for many years… and despite many attempts to eliminate them… the government failed… Deadlock exists not only in Weimarer, but in several regions…
(Meanwhile)
Kafka: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Even the queen and the former king are talking about it…"
Kafka: "Mhm… Ludwig was only king until his daughter was old enough… as I said, it's normal for the Hertha family to rule…"
Fiona: "Who exactly are these Deadlock… why did they kill Count Heinz…"
Kafka: "Count Heinz… unfortunately didn't have many friends…"
Fiona: "Because he was a count who actually cared about his people…?"
Kafka: "That too… but Count Heinz was very important for Weimarer… he worked for the kingdom, for the king, and even for the second queen Lana Hertha… Deadlock is simply a group that kills for money…"
Fiona: "So someone hired them to kill him…"
Kafka: "Most likely…"
Fiona: "Another count?"
Kafka: "Hmm… yes, could be…"
Fiona: "Spies?"
Kafka: "Spies?… if spies, then only Demari… they still hold a grudge against us…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… it happened so fast… I mean… we spoke to him just yesterday…"
Kafka: "And now he's dead… Eisenhauer and Count Heinz… both are dead…"
Fiona: "Hahhhh… what do we do now?… without evidence of who killed him or why… we can't do anything… investigating will be difficult…"
Kafka: "Hmm… actually I wanted to leave Weimarer with Lissana… because she's still wanted…"
Fiona: "You can temporarily send Lissana to another kingdom…"
Kafka: "No… she prefers to stay here for now… either way I have to speak with the queen or her father…"
Fiona: "I understand…"
Kafka: "I think you should come with me…"
Fiona: "I'm not from Weimarer…"
Kafka: "You can still come…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… whether they want my help… well whatever… I'll come…"
Kafka: "Okay…"
(Meanwhile)
Duncen: "Hmm…"
Deadlock member: "Duncen…"
Duncen: "Yes?"
Deadlock member: "We found it…"
Duncen: "Great… hehehe… so you found them…"
He was handed photos of Count Heinz… meeting someone.
Duncen: "Publish this and spread the rumor that he was actually a spy from Demari…"
Deadlock member: "Yes sir…"
Duncen: "We must completely destroy his reputation… that's what we were paid for… I want no mistakes… otherwise I'll kill the one who makes them…"
Deadlock member: "One more thing… Count Heinz last worked with Wolf Kafka and a woman named Fiona Househould…"
Duncen: "Good… find them… and kill them…"
