Decided to do a little bit more of Praefacio since our other thread is going to take time to find anything.


 * Kyle's in Middle Tower, this is just after the scenes with Yukina and her family (so still Chapter 2, Section 1).


 * Marlon Castle was built to protect against invasions from barbarians about 450 years ago; it's very strong and has high walls (lies at the bank of the Methis river), which makes it one of the best palaces/castles in Evillious.


 * Castle is mainly divided into three parts; for guests and parties, there's the multi-chamber Right Palace, for a chapel and tomb, there's Left Chapel.


 * Then there's where the King performs his official duties: Middle Tower; it's surrounded by greenery.


 * Kyle spent most of his childhood in this castle. He's finally returned to his homeland.


 * (Still, why am I restless?)


 * Kyle has an answer but I honestly can't make much sense of it. The narration is asking a lot of questions.


 * Arkatoir: "So, you came here, eh?"


 * While Kyle came up the stairs, he sees someone with a similar face and red hair.


 * Kyle: "Arkatoir?"


 * Although he's my younger half-brother (I think?), it's believed his mother hated being caught up in a "headship of the family" (dictionary definition) dispute, so he's currently not part of the royal family and became the Marlon parlimentary secratary as a normal citizen.


 * Kyle's dad had many concubines; as a result, he had many children and so Kyle has many brothers (narration then corrects that he "had" many brothers).


 * During his childhood, most of Kyle's brothers were killed or were never heard from again (went missing?). Of course, it's not like that happened naturally. They were murdered by someone's hand.


 * While there's no evidence, the perpetrator is connected to him. "My mother, Queen Dowager Prim". If you want your child to inherit the title of King....... if you trace back the history of the royal family, it's not a rare thing.


 * It's believed that Arkatoir's mother's decision was to avoid him risking his life. However, Kyle's mother wouldn't be happy that he was taking up such a key political position. His mother would definitely consider killing him too.


 * So why is Arkatoir in politics? Kyle asked once. He replied "This will be my fight" (or something to that effect, this entire narration is very rough on my part).


 * He(?) is greatful his mother got him out of that "head of the family" (just what the dictionary says) dispute but also a little bitter(?), not wanting to live a life plowing fields and aim a little higher, even if it meant awaiting his doom that's what he once "fast-talked" to Kyle.


 * Fortunately, his excellence has been liked by the Queen Dowager in its own way and he's continued to work in the castle admirably without being killed too.


 * Kyle: "It seems you have served me well in my absence. I'm grateful, Arkatoir."


 * Arkatoir shyly rubs the back of his neck when he's thanked.


 * Arkatoir: "No, don't mention it...... You should welcome the Queen Dowager."


 * Kyle: "Ah yes, where is Mother?"

You know the rest.


 * Arkatoir says she's not here. Kyle asks why. He explains that she's at Castle Hedgehog to recover after apparently working so hard lately and took leave.


 * Kyle asks when and Arkatoir says it happened immediately after they recieved the news that the King would return. She didn't seem to be very happy.


 * Kyle: (She knew I was coming back so hurried to Castle Hedgehog.......?)


 * Pirates at the Hark Sea, a large octopus...... Perhaps those were all aimed at me. I felt uneasy.


 * Kyle asks how many soldiers they currently had stained in the home country.


 * Arkatoir: "About fifty thousand navyman and twenty thousand ground troops."


 * Kyle: "Can they assemble at Marlon Castle immediately?"


 * Arkatoir: "With the soldiers already stationed here, about five thousand troops."


 * Kyle: "Alright(?). Gather them here."

Once again, we know the rest here. Kyle's explained to Arkatoir (when he asks the why) that he's bringing them just in case. Then they ask about Abyss I.R. and all. Arkatoir's honestly relieved that she's dead, always getting a wicked feeling whenever she prowled around the castle (of course, he'd never say that in front of Prim).

Then Arkatoir sees Kyle's face and takes him to the crypt. And that's our meeting with Arkatoir everyone!
