"I'm afraid not, Your Highness, being in the company of Princess Olivia during the events. My renewed condolences, to you personally."

"This must really affect you, brother. Enough to make them pay!?"
Kaiser, preferring to stay on the margins of their conflict, slipped away without waiting.
After all, he knew what was going to happen.
