After entering the city and finding a spot in an inn with a small tavern on the ground floor, Ard, Eva, and the others sat down across from Raymond. He sat in the middle, flanked by the two sisters—the one called Rosalind who was actually Reyna, and the one called Reyna who was actually Rosalind. Raymond stared intensely at Ard and Eva.
"Are you... the third prince of Fredonia?" Raymond asked.
"That's right, Mr. Raymond," Ard answered.
"And you... are Princess Evangeline of the Orthus Empire?" Raymond asked.
"I am. It seems Beatrice has already filled you in," Eva replied.
"Whoa... Sister Eva is a princess?" Adeline asked. She was sitting next to Ard and had only just realized Eva was imperial royalty.
"She is, but please keep that a secret," Ard said.
"You got it! I'll keep Sister Eva's secret safe," Adeline replied cheerfully.
