"I began to have my doubts when Ylgr

met $Nu."

1

:

"We journeyed to Múspell and

encountered the princess for the

first time..."

2

:

"She should not have known of

$Nu."

3

:

"But there it was. She recognized the

face, and she said the name. Had

they met before?"

4

:

"I thought it strange. Of course, she

might have heard some details about

$Nu in prison."

5

:

"Or maybe they HAD met before..."

6

:

"Your suspicions were roused."

7

:

"It wasn't a mistake. It was a childish

prank. She said it on purpose, to sow

the seeds of doubt."

8

:

"That...gave me an idea of who it was."

9

:

"You should have brought this to our

attention sooner. I must find Ylgr at

once."

10

:

"Prince Hríd..."

11

:

"Wait, please. Something is troubling

me."

12

:

"What now?"

13

:

"Oh?"

14

:

"You seem to agree that Princess

Ylgr's behavior was suspicious..."

15

:

"But that doesn't mean we must

confine our suspicions to her."

16

:

"Right now, your behavior worries me

more."

17

:

"What are you talking about?"

18

:

"We've seen your little trick before.

You can assume whatever form you

wish."

19

:

"Commander Anna, Princess Ylgr, and

now, Prince Hríd."

20

:

"Oh!"

21

:

"It is true that Princess Ylgr has given

us cause for suspicion. That shields

you from our gaze..."

22

:

"You're dancing in the background,

dangling the answers we seek...

Taunting us. That is your objective."

23

:

"Brother? Truly? No, it can't be...

Unless..."

24

:

"Don't fall for Alfonse's trickery,

Fjorm. Trust in me."

25

:

"You should step away from him,

Princess."

26

:

"This is all too much! What do you

think, $Nu?"

27

:

"What should I do?"

28

:

"Stop, fiend!"

29

:

"Ha!"

30

:

"What? We are beset by an extra

Prince Alfonse!"

31

:

"I have tried my best to be observant.

Yet I never anticipated this..."

32

:

"You've had enough fun, sown enough

chaos."

33

:

"It is time we end this, Loki."

34

:

"Oh, dear."

35

:

"You've finally figured it out. How

disappointing..."

36

:

"You posed as Princess Ylgr from the

start—that's how you infiltrated our

group."

37

:

"The real Princess Ylgr is probably the

other royal offering to the Rite of

Flame..."

38

:

"After all, Zacharias told us the name

of only one of the victims."

39

:

"Of course she is, dear. That girl will

be cast squealing into the flames,

alongside dear Veronica."

40

:

"There's just one more riddle for you

to puzzle out..."

41

:

"Exactly how do you plan to defeat

me? I'm so eager to see what answer

you come up with."

42

:

"My, my. You've defeated me. I should

have expected nothing less from you,

$Nu! Hee-hee."

43

:

"Very good, my dears. I knew you'd

get the right answer sooner or later.

And now, for your reward..."

44

:

"The king—and poor Veronica—await

you in the temple where the Rite of

Flame is conducted. "

45

:

"The only way to reach them in time

is by a secret entrance..."

46

:

"Here you go, $Nu.

This map has the details."

47

:

"I can't say how long Veronica has

left to live, but you had better hurry,

I think."

48

:

"Why would you give this to us? Surtr

is your master. "

49

:

"That is true, but it's not the whole

truth... I have my own role to play."

50

:

"And we must face facts. Princess

Veronica is irresistible. I'd hate for

her to die just yet..."

51

:

"I'm sure."

52

:

"I believe that brings my part in this

to its conclusion. It is time you

challenged Surtr."
