It was evening in Crimea, and footsteps echoed down one of the halls of Elincia's castle. Before long, the wandering visitor would encounter not just a guard, but one of the commanders of the Royal Guard herself. Lucia greeted the visitor respectfully, despite receiving no word of one attending the castle at this hour. "Greetings. I am Lucia, retainer to Queen Elincia. May this sword be infused with my pride, that I may cut down her foes. And who may you be? It is far too late for the Queen to see to any visitors."
