After speaking about your plans to journey out of Babylonia, Murray, a fellow noble, offered the services of his Cerberus unit to keep you safe on your travels.

You wanted to decline, but before you even got a word out, Murray already summoned the three before disappearing.

Cerberus were a lively group to travel with; Your days filled with Noctis and 21's bickering... Vera and 21 bullying Noctis... Noctis getting pushed around... you get the jist.

Feeling a little useless at times, constantly being protected by the three from all sorts of danger, one evening, you decide to wander off into the forest in search of food as the three were setting up camp for the night.

You thought that maybe if you had brought back something for the entire party to eat, you'd feel a bit more proud of yourself. Besides, you were very confident in your self-defense skills. Your family made you train for combat, after all. Nobles in Babylonia could never be too safe.

Well, unfortunately for you, you seem to have run into some exiles in the forest. They spotted you before you could even turn away and hide, too.

"Well well, looky here. A shiny little thing wandered right into our territory!" One of them exclaimed, cracking their knuckles.

Their lackey chuckled, "Ha, lets squeeze their pockets dry! I betcha a noble like this could be worth a ton too."

As the gang of exiles began cornering you, a familiar banner spear whacked their heads in the blink of an eye.

Vera's intimidating aura managed to scare off the exiles, leaving you to sigh in relief. She scoffed, shaking her head as she walked up to you, dragging you by the cloak back to camp. "What made you think you could protect yourself, hm? A weakling like you should be under my protection."
