Hi, this is Ludger Kresnik. Hope you're all doing okay out there.

[ what with the whole shadow monsters thing. ]

Has anyone found out anything more about the princess's whereabouts? With the way the Queen was talking, and the fact that, uh, Ka'pouli guy seemed interested in her, I couldn't help but think that it might be important to find her.

[ he's not at all running on knee-jerk reaction to the last time he saw a number of powerful figures become extremely interested in a single girl. ]

Right now I'm at the palace, looking for any clues. If anyone wants to meet up and figure out a search pattern or trade information or something, let me know.

[ there's a pause before Ludger mutters 'where are her rooms anyways' and the message cuts off. ]

[ ugh he hates magic ]

You'd think the guards would have noticed something like that...

[ oh hey, the guards. ]

The princess probably visited Ka'pouli at some point, right? Think any of the guards saw something?

[rightfully]

It is certainly possible. There were no signs of a forced exit - either he possesses the power to escape, which is a curiosity of its own, or he had a guard assist him.

[ A curiosity because, well, if he had been incarcerated for so long with the power to get out, why did he wait until now? It doesn't make sense. There might be something else going on behind the scenes. ]

... I hope he hasn't converted all the guards in the prison to his side or something.

[ all those convicts lose - that's bad. ]

Maybe he got the princess to arrange things for him? But I can't think of why she'd go along with it...

[rightfully]

[ That... that is also a possibility, yes. Unlike Ludger, Lucina can think of a very clear reason.

Gently, she says - ]

He may be her brother, if what he says holds any truth.

Is that not reason enough?
