Built on a hill, this aerial city also
serves as the entrance to Ft. Lionel.

[Young man runs out of the narrow street, stops near the city wall and looks
on the right & left. There are Wizards. A youth turns back to the narrow
street, but a fencer comes out of there. Young man is surrounded.]

 You can't escape! Give it to us if you value your life!

 What do you want? I don't know what you're talking about.

[2 female Archers and a Knight appears behind fencer.]

 Don't play dumb! Mustadio! Don't care about your father?
	Just give us the 'holy stone' and we'll return him.
	...OK guys, get him!

['Guys' tries to catch Mustadio, but he jumps up on the wall.]

 And you can tell Rudvich...
	If he lays a hand on father he'll never see the stone!

[Ramza's party appears behind the city wall.]

 An argument? Someone's after that young man...

20.1. Why Bart is after Mustadio?


[Ramza, Agrias & Mustadio in a room.]

 There were Troublemakers hired by Bart Company.

 Bart Company? The Importer?

 You know them? They're not just traders. They're a criminal
	syndicate into everything from smuggling and slavery.

 Why were they after you?

 You know why they call us mechanics?


 I hear a 'lost civilization' is hidden under Goug....
	When St. Ajora was alive, airships were in the sky,
	and human robots in town. But time passed, technology
	was lost, and no one knows if it ever really existed.

 But the civilization must have existed. Parts from many airships and machines
	are buried under Goug. Mechanics are the ones who restore the 'past legacies'.

 That weird thing you used in the battle, was that one of the machines?

 Oh, this? [Shows a gun]
	This is called a 'gun'. A metal 'bullet' is propelled by gunpowder. This is the
	most simple one. They say you used to be able put magic in it and shoot it.

 Hmm...

 Why's Bart Company after you?

[Mustadio hides the gun.]

 You said you were going to see the Cardinal. He was a hero of the Fifty Year War.
	People in Lionel still think of him as a hero. My father, too. The Cardinal is the
	only one who can unite this country. I know he'd grant your wish.
	Then the princess would be safe.

 Yeah, and...?

 Can you take me with you? I want to meet the Cardinal.

 Why?

 To save my father! The Cardinal's the only one who can rescue him from Bart! But he
	wouldn't want to meet some mechanic like myself. So, please. Take me with you!

 You still haven't told us why they're after you!

[Mustadio lowers head.]

 ...I can't tell you now.

 Then, we can't take you.

 I beg you! Trust me! I must see the Cardinal!

[Ovelia comes in. Agrias & Ramza kneels.]

 All right. You can come with us.

[Mustadio fastly steps forward to Ovelia.]

 Really? Thank you, Highness!

[Agrias turns head to Mustadio.]

 Remember! You're in the presence of a princess!

[Mustadio steps backward and kneels.]

 It's all right. Please stand up.

[All stands up. Agrias turns toward Mustadio.]

 All right, then. I trust you.




20.2. Outskirts of Zaland - Ovelia's worries


[Ovelia and Agrias are standing near the archway on the path leading out of Zaland.]

 Princess Ovelia, see? Lionel Castle is over the mountain.

 It's still far from this fort. I wonder if Cardinal Draclau will really help us?

 I hear the Cardinal is very loyal to the royal family. And right now, he's neutral
	in the dispute between Prince Larg and Prince Goltana. I'm sure he wouldn't
	defeat justice by turning you over to either one of them.

 I hope so.......

[Ovelia walks up to the tree and picks up a leaf.]

 Besides, he is a man of popularity at Glabados Church.
	They'll accept you if the Cardinal asks them.

 I wish I weren't a princess.

[Leaf falls out of Ovelia's hand, whirls and lands on the grass.]

 Princess Ovelia......

 I was always surrounded by the convent walls.

[Ramza walks up to the other side of archway and stops behind it, unnoticed.]]

	...and have only seen the sky through them. I don't think you know,
	but I was at another monastery before I went to Orbonne.

[Ramza hides behind the wall to not interrupt dialog. Ovelia picks up another leaf.]

	Even after hearing about the adoption by the deceased king,
	I stayed there for a long time. No, I'm not complaining about that.
	Just....... People are dying because I'm the princess. It's so painful.....

 Please don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Those who
	are trying to take advantage of you are the ones to blame.

[Second leaf is landing near the first.]

 I met a girl at Orbonne. She said she had
	also been living in the monastery since birth.
[Ovelia picks up the third leaf.]
	We used to laugh at how similar our lives have been.
	----Isn't it funny?

 She was the daughter of the Beoulves, Miss. Alma, wasn't she?

[Ramza looks at Agrias & Ovelia with surprise.]

 She is my only friend..... I wonder if Cardinal Draclau would use me?

 ................

Voice of Mustadio
	Ramza! Where are you? Shall we go?!

[Ramza & Agrias turns toward the voice. Mustadio walks up to the archway from Ramza's side.]

 What have you been doing here?

[Ramza makes a gesture to keep silence. Agrias walks through archway and speaks to Mustadio.]

 How was it?

 Fine. It doesn't seem like Hokuten has been here yet.

[Meanwhile Ovelia starts to blow through a leaf--trying to make a melody--
but fails with sound of "fart". Ramza walks up to the tree. Ovelia looks at him.]

 My friend taught me before, but I can't seem to do it right.

[Ramza picks up a leaf, turns toward the princess and blows through a leaf.]

 This is how you do it.

 Like this?

[Ovelia blows through a leaf like Ramza. Successfully.]

 There! I did it.

[Ovelia blows again, Ramza joins...]
