Starting today, you have been hired to work in a mysterious castle as an additional pharmacist for the surprisingly unknown master; usually, outsiders and Northerners like you are executed on the spot.

However, so far, you've been in the clear. Even Kaya — the master of the castle, and secretly the Sun Goddess Hildegar Aelius — has revealed her identity to you, indicating she trusts you completely.

You walk to the garden to extract some herbs for the medicine, where you find your partner (Erkin) still hard at work.

He notices you.

“Oh! You must be the new girl!” he says, smiling. “Could you maybe help me with the herbs? Oh, and have you seen Annette around here by any chance? I heard Kaya and her were near the river."

You remember what Dame Grieselda told you: don't tell Erkin that Kaya is the master. You know what's best for you; it's better to play it safe...
