서장 "아버지, 여행을 떠나다"
In the year 1197 of the Septian Calendar, young Estelle Bright is at the Bright Family House one night when Cassius Bright returns home from business. Cassius brings home a injured boy with black hair and amber eyes, Joshua. Cassius adopts Joshua into the Bright family while Estelle "interrogates" him.
Five years later, in S.1202, Estelle awakens to Joshua playing The Whereabouts of Light on his harmonica. Today is the day the two of them are to take the test to become junior bracers. Cassius gives Estelle 500 mira to buy a copy of the Liberl News from Rinon General Goods while they are in town. The two of them head out to the city of Rolent to meet their mentor Scherazard Harvey at the local Bracer Guild. They speak to the receptionist Aina briefly, before heading upstairs and inadvertently interrupting Schera during a Tarot card reading. She explains what they will do for the junior bracer test and allows Estelle and Joshua to review details about orbments, the Bracer Guild, and the Liberl Kingdom. Schera then skips to the practical portion of the test. Estelle and Joshua go back downstairs, where they receive Bracer Notebooks from Aina and accept the quest "Training: Retrieval", the quest that will test them on how real bracers do their work. They then cross the street to Melders Orbal Factory and can review details on Combat Orbments, Orbal Arts, quartz, and sepith with Melders.
After allowing them to set up their combat orbments, Schera drags an unwilling Estelle with Joshua following to the sewer entrance to start their test in the Rolent Sewers. Their task is to retrieve the contents of a chest at the end of the sewers. Before going in, they receive the Monster Guide and three Tear Balm items. They fight five scripted battles to introduce attacking, Arts, Crafts, S-Crafts, and Battle Order Bonuses, with the last battle being the monster guarding the chest. They successfully retrieve the treasure, which consists of two small sealed boxes. They return to the guild, report the job, and head upstairs to receive their Junior Bracer Emblems from the small boxes, certifying them as junior bracers.
On their way home for the day, the two of them are interrupted by Aina with a request to rescue two children in town, Luke and Pat, from the Esmelas Tower. They find the children on the second floor of the tower, rescuing them from a group of monsters. Estelle starts scolding Luke, allowing more monsters to sneak up on her, but Cassius arrives just in time to defeat them. At dinner, Cassius says he has to leave Rolent for a couple weeks on business and leaves some bracer jobs behind, the easier ones going to Estelle and Joshua and the harder ones going to Schera.
Estelle and Joshua's first job is to head out to Perzel Farm and take care of the monsters that are destroying their crops. They do their rounds at night after conversations involving their feelings during the day. After chasing and taking down the monsters, they decide whether they should be exterminated or not. Estelle manages to convince the Perzel family that the monsters will stop eating their crops if they let them go, and despite Joshua's disagreement, the monsters are ultimately released.
Their second job is from Rolent's Mayor Klaus, who wants them to retrieve a valuable Septium crystal from Malga Mine. They retrieve the Esmelas Crystal from Mining Chief Gaton, but a cave-in occurs, allowing monsters to enter the mine. After rescuing the five other miners, they escort them and Gaton out of the mine. Returning to the mayor's house, they meet Josette Haar, a student from Jenis Royal Academy, who is speaking to the mayor. The crystal was to be a gift from Rolent to Queen Alicia for her sixtieth birthday, which will be in six months.
Their final job is to escort a reporter and his camerawoman, Nial Burns and Dorothy Hyatt, to the top of the Esmelas Tower, so they can take pictures of the device on its roof. After meeting Dorothy in the Melders Orbal Factory, they climb the tower. On its roof, Joshua senses someone, and they meet a lone scholar, Professor Alba. Alba then enthusiastically explains his interest in archaeology and ancient artifacts, such as the Tetracyclic Towers and the Sept-Terrion. Estelle and Joshua then escort Nial, Dorothy, and Professor Alba from the tower after they finish looking around.
Returning to the guild, Mayor Klaus bursts in exclaiming that he had been robbed while he was out speaking to Father Divine. No one was hurt, but the bracers decide to investigate. They figure out that someone got into the house on the second floor, and their aim was to break into the safe and steal the Esmelas crystal. The culprits were likely three or four people, one of them being short, and evidence suggested that at least one had visited recently due to the method used to open the safe, a powder that had been dusted on its keys. In the attic, where the mayor's family members were locked up, they also find a Servais Leaf. It implies that the suspects had recently been to the Mistwald Forest, south of Rolent.
The evidence leads them to the conclusion that Josette is a suspect. Since she had checked out of Hotel Rolent and didn't pass through the Rolent Landing Port, they figure there was another place she arrived from. With the Servais Leaf as a clue, they follow the trail to Mistwald, Scherazard tagging along. Deep within the forest, they encounter the Capua Sky Bandits, including Josette, whose real surname is not Haar, but Capua. They recover the stolen crystal, but Josette's brother Kyle arrives with the Capua airship, and all of the sky bandits manage to escape.
After the good work they did with solving the cases left behind by Cassius, Estelle and Joshua are recommended by the Rolent Guild for promotion to senior bracers. In order for them to be promoted, they will need to travel to the other branches in Liberl and receive recommendations from them as well. After this, they get a call that the airliner Linde had disappeared over the Bose region. Since Cassius had left on the Linde for business, this greatly worries Estelle and Joshua, who wanted to share their successes with their dad and decide what to do next.
제1장 "사라진 비행여객선"
Estelle, Joshua, and Schera have dinner at the Bright Family House. Estelle decides they will walk to the Bose region to continue their journey since airliners are downed while the army investigates the disappearance of the Linde. Schera says she'll tag along, and Joshua comes too. In the morning, Schera and Aina discuss a job Schera's working on as Estelle mourns the loss of her mother Lena Bright on the clock tower ten years prior before they leave Rolent.
The three of them cross into the Bose region through the Verte Bridge checkpoint, one of the many checkpoints connecting the 5 regions together. They encounter Grant escorting a cargo truck towards Grancel because of downed airliners.
They meet Lugran in the Bose Bracer Guild, who explains the situation in Bose: General Morgan, who is in charge of the army in Bose, is not sharing any information with the general public (or the guild, considered civilian and personally disliked by Morgan) about the state of their search for the Linde. Additionally, the army is restricting civilians (and the guild) from entering areas they are investigating, causing conflict with the guild. Lugran informs them of a way forward, which is to meet Mayor Maybelle, who has a request for them. Estelle and Joshua transfer their junior bracer registration to the Bose region so they can accept bracer jobs before heading out.
The three of them check the Mayor's Residence, then the Bose Chapel (and encounter Lila), but don't find the mayor in both locations. Lila then lead them to the Bose Marketplace, where they find Maybelle in the market reprimanding two merchants for raising their prices of goods due to all flights are suspended. Maybelle introduces herself, and they went to the Anterose Restaurant for further discussion on her request, where Maybelle explains her political role in Bose and how she owns Bose Market, inherited from her late father. After that, she explains why she directly requested that the bracers investigate the disappearance of the Linde, as she firmly believes bracer guild would be better suited to investigate the mystery rather than the army. She writes a letter to give to General Morgan at Haken Gate, the gate between Liberl and Erebonia, to allow them to speak with General Morgan in order to get as much information as possible from the army.
The party of three arrive at Haken Gate without incident to find that General Morgan is out. They remove their bracer badges to try to avoid conflict with General Morgan. While waiting in the inn and bar at Haken Gate, they encounter a peculiar blond-haired traveler from Erebonia. He pursues a conversation until the sentry informs them the general has returned. The traveler follows them out as if invited along, to the party's annoyance. He is shooed back into the bar.
Because it's a request from Morgan's childhood friend Maybelle, as well as a request from the mayor, and since Estelle, Joshua, and Schera didn't mention they are bracers, General Morgan agrees to disclose the entire situation. The Linde disappeared on the way to Rolent after taking off from the Bose Landing Port. Morgan does not believe it crashed or anything involving monster behavior occurred, or else they would have found the crash. The party, which Morgan only knows as civilian messengers of Maybelle, conclude with the possibility that someone hijacked the airship for the cargo or to demand ransom for the passengers and that the Imperial Army could be involved. Morgan confirms that was his conclusion as well, but is suspicious of the party's quick judgment.
Morgan continues to say that it was not the Imperial Army as the Capua Family, the Sky Bandits, sent a letter to the Royal Family and Orbalship Co. claiming responsibility and demanding a ransom. Estelle has a slip of the tongue and reveals the party as those who encountered the Capuas in Rolent. Morgan throws them out for being deceitful bracers and argues fiercely in the courtyard with Schera about military incompetency, guild incompetency, and secrecy of information.
The traveler from Erebonia interrupts the argument with a verse of Amber Amour, accompanied by his lute. The mood changed, Morgan leaves to return to his duty, with the order to not let the bracers in again. The party, trying not to acknowledge the traveler, return to the bar to discuss returning to Bose with the information they gathered. The traveler joins them and finally introduces himself as Olivier Lenheim, a wandering bard and musician. After some introductions and a "normal" conversation with Olivier, he joins the party as he's also heading to Bose and would like to accompany them.
At Bose, Olivier leaves the party to go sightseeing while Estelle and co. take the opportunity to report to Mayor Maybelle. Outside the mayor's residence, Estelle and co. arrive to see Nial and Dorothy getting pushed away by Lila, the maid. Lila tells them that they were just after an interview and let they go in. In the Mayor's Residence, Maybelle is not surprised by General Morgan's reaction to them being bracers and states that they did well. She then tells the trio to continue their investigation, and so the group goes to report at the Bracer Guild.
After reporting, Estelle and co. go to the tavern and talk to Nial who gives them a tip on the Linde's disappearance in exchange for the current information on the Linde's disappearance. The group then decide to go on some side-quests, where they meet up with Professor Alba again and end up heading to Ravennue Village to check out Nial's hint. On the way to Ravennue, they met Agate Crosner, another Senior Bracer. The group talks for a bit, but then Agate leaves to go on another job.
Arriving in Ravennue, Estelle and co went to the Elder's house and found out that it was a little kid called "Lewey" who saw it. The group visits Lewey who tells them what happened and how the soldiers had thought that he imagined things. Estelle cheers him up, and after surmising that they are headed to the mine behind the town, they led to Ravennue Mine where they discover it locked. Estelle and co backtracked and got the key from the mayor and after unlocking it, enter the mine.
In the mine, Estelle and the others discover Kyle Capua of the Sky Bandits emptying the airship of any valuable goods and supplies. They then confront him and beat him, however, he gets away via smokescreen. After the smoke clears, Estelle and the others decide to explore the airship for any clues. Seeing that the ship is empty, the group heads outside and encounter the army along with General Morgan. Despite trying to explain their story, General Morgan falsely arrests them; much to Estelle's ire.
The army afterwards comes to imprison them within their dungeon. Unsurprisingly, Olivier was in their neighboring cell, arrested for drinking Bose's most expensive bottle of wine in its entirety without reimbursing the restaurant. Thankfully, the Mayor came to their rescue and released them from their imprisonment including Olivier, who has to redeem himself by helping the bracers in their mission to find the Linde. Around that time, the Sky Bandits of the Capua family attacks Bose directly and robs almost every citizen's house of valuable items they own. Whole waiting for the Army to finish their interrogations with the townspeople, the group meets the intelligence division's Alan Richard whom they heard about prior from Nial and Dorothy. Richard gives the bracers the army's apologies for their false accusations and allows them to interrogate the townspeople after the army finishes their interrogations. The bracers then move to conduct their interrogation, and find out that a man named LLoyd witnessed the Sky Bandits somewhere along Valleria Lakeshore, and that they are coming back tonight. Shera decides to knock out Olivier to prevent him from exposing himself to any danger posed by the Sky Bandits. They listen in on the Sky Bandits who mention that their third sibling and oldest Don has not been his usual self after meeting THAT guy. Said person arrives and informs them that the ransom payment is almost underway, and that the queen herself intends on paying for it from her own personal funds. Kyle reveals that they have their ship parked somewhere near the lakeshore, only possible place being the Amberl Tower base. The bracers find that the ship is heavily guarded and start thinking of their move. Olivier interrupts their thinking and tells them that he will tag along regardless of the obstacles they put out in front him. Olivier then suggests they hijack the ship....which actually worked. When they hijacked the ship, they found themselves near Nebel Valley at the checkpoint between Bose and Rolent. That place, was their hideout. Within that hideout was a maze of doors and corridors. But they found their way in and rescued the hostages as well as defeat the sky bandits. Don, notably expressed he would have killed the hostages after recieving the ransom, something unlike the code that the bandits go by. After he is defeated, he states that his last memory is when he first came into contact with THAT guy. The Linde is rescued, BUT Cassius is nowhere to be found with the captain saying that Cassius got off early almost as soon as the Linde took off. The bracers return to guild to report their findings, then they were branded a recommendation by the Bose guild to the rest of the guilds. The group receives a letter and a parcel from Cassius surprisingly where the letter says that they will find him if they climb up the bracer ranks all across Liberl, and that he cannot return until the end of the queen's birthday ceremony which is two months away. Estelle and Joshua are then separated from Olivier and Shera who then go back to Rolent. Estelle and Joshua now venture into Ruan.
제2장 "하얀 꽃의 마드리갈"
The next day, Estelle and Joshua say goodbye to everyone in Bose and head to Ruan. It is sunset by the time they arrive at the Krone Pass Checkpoint, so they decide to spend the night there. After dinner, a guard comes into their traveler's lodging and asks if they can set aside room for one more person. Estelle and Joshua accept his request and in walks Agate.
Agate greets the trio, and they ask if he wants dinner. Agate declines and says that he wants to sleep and leave the next morning. Estelle rages at his rude behavior, and Joshua tells her to leave him alone. Later that night, Estelle, Joshua, and Agate wake up to the sound of a monster attack. Agate tells the pair to stay in the room, but they go out to help nevertheless. After hearing monsters on the opposite side of the gate, Agate orders Estelle and Joshua to go check it out. Estelle and Joshua arrive just in time to save an injured guard, and they defeat the monsters. Agate and the commander comes and commends them on a job well done. After treating the wounded guard, everyone goes back to bed, and Estelle and Joshua wake up the next morning to find that Agate had already left.
Leaving the checkpoint, Estelle and Joshua come across the sea and marvel at its beauty. They then head to Manoria Village and lead to the local inn. At the chef's recommendation, the pair buy some lunchboxes and have a picnic on one of the benches outside the windmill. Estelle and Joshua share an unknowing couple's moment and get up to leave. Heading down the hill, they encounter a little boy who pickpockets Estelle's Bracer Badge and runs off. Noticing that her badge is gone, Estelle and Joshua ask around and find out the boy is an orphan called "Clem" who lives at Mercia Orphanage which is on the way to Ruan. The pair then head to Mercia Orphanage.
At the Orphanage, Estelle confronts Clem and asks him to give her the badge back, with a clever trick, Matron Theresa gets to have him return the badge to Estelle. Kloe Rinz is then fully introduced afterwards along with her partner falcon sieg. The group then shares dinner together and all go their separate ways. Kloe aids Estelle and Joshua as their tour guide in Ruan. An encounter with the Ravens, a local gang residing within the harbor, occurs but is quickly resolved the moment the Mayor Dalmore himself came to end it. Estelle and Joshua finally arrive to sign up at the bracer guild in town, meeting Jean in the process. While reserving a room at the local hotel, they are stopped by the queen's nephew ,Dunan , and have their room swiped away from them. Nial offers them to stay with him in the room while telling them that Dorothy no longer trains under him. The next day, the Mercia Orphanage is then revealed to have been brought down by a huge fire that surrounded it. Estelle and Joshua were assigned to investigate the orphanage by the guild.
With the assistance of Kloe, they meet with the matron at Manoria Inn who explains a man with silver hair saved her and the children. Mayor Dalmore interrupts the discussion with his assistant Gillbert assuming the Raverns were responsible for the fire. Overhearing this, Clem makes his way to the Raverns hideout which causes Estelle, Joshua, and now Kloe to assist in defeating them before Agate, an ex-Ravern member attacks their leader after fighting with kids. The four head back to the guild when Agate takes over the investigation which allows Estelle and Joshua to help out with the Jenis Academy festival.
With the school play finished, the school offers Theresa the money that they raised to help her rebuild the orphanage. However, while walking back Theresa was ambushed and the money was stolen. Joshua deduces that sleeping powder was used so she should be safe, this is when Agate enters the room and joins the party in helping get the money back. Kloe’s falcon, Sieg helps the group in pointing them towards Varenne Lighthouse where they find Ravern members who seem to be under the influence of some sort of drug. The group make their way to the top where they find Gilbert pulling the strings, who with Delmore had planned to burn the orphanage down for the estate. The jaegers end up betraying Gilbert by shooting him and making a run for it, Agate chases them while Estelle, Joshua, and Kloe head back to Theresa to return the money.
The next day Estelle and Joshua inform Jean what had happened which causes him to get the Royal army involved to arrest Delmore. After catching Delmore trying to sell the estate to Duke Dunan, we find out from Nial that Delmore is in debt. This causes Delmore to release monsters on the group, after defeating them though Delmore uses his final trick by using a chronos rod, an artifact that has the ability to paralyse a persons mobility. Before getting shot, the black orbment that Estelle carries activates and neutralises the chronos rod causing the group to chase Delmore. Upon sailing away, the Arseille, the royal guards ship prevents him from escaping. However, upon being arrested Delmore claims to have no recollection of the events that had transpired. Estelle and Joshua make their way to the Bracer guild where Jean congratulates them and provides them their third recommendation.
제3장 "검은 오브먼트"
Kloe walks Estelle and Joshua to the Air-Letten wishing them the best of luck, though she makes mention that she might see them in Grancel as she’ll be visiting her family during the Queens birthday. As the two walk towards Zeiss, they bump into a girl with blonde hair, they keep an eye on her before defending her from some monsters. The girls name is Tita and she actually works for the Zeiss Central factory so she guides them towards the city of Zeiss before returning to work. Estelle and Joshua meet Kilika the guild receptionist who writes a letter of introduction to the head of Zeiss Central Factory. The two meet up with Murdock and show him the orbment and letter, he recognises that Professor R is Professor Russell and sends them to meet him.
Tita is actually the granddaughter of Professor Russell so she takes them to her home and tries to introduce them to her grandfather but Russell is too absorbed in his work to notice them. Eventually Professor Russell begins to examine the orbment until it activates like last time when Delmore almost shot the bracers, but this time all orbment technology within the city has been deactivated. The analysis is abandoned which causes the orbments to reactivate with Professor Russell referring to the effect as the orbal shutdown phenomenon.
While trying to saw open the orbment, Murdock interrupts the group informing them that a pump at Elmo village has broken down and requires immediate repairs. Tita persists that she knows how to fix the pump so Estelle and Joshua assist in escorting her to the village. While there, Tita fixes the pipe and the innkeeper Mao offers the group to stay overnight for free, they take up her offer and return to Zeiss the next morning. However, upon returning they notice the Zeiss Central Factory is filled with smoke and it turns out Professor Russell is missing. Agate then appears to help in the search where they see Professor Russell being kidnapped by familiar looking jaegers from the previous chapter.
After the jaegers disappear without a trace, they obtain a lead from Professor Alba mentioning how he saw suspicious figures at Carnelia tower. Tita wishes to come along but Agate dismisses her as she’s only a 12 year old girl who would most likely get in the way. The three make their way to the top of the tower and fight against the jaegers, but while trying to save Professor Russell, Tita appears and Agate leaps in front of her, defending her from an incoming bullet. The jaegers get away with Professor Russell and Agate slaps Tita and blames her for the failure of saving her grandfather.
On the way back to Zeiss, the group bump into a fellow bracer Zin before Agate begins to pass out. They rush Agate back to Zeiss and find out the bullet that he was shot with was laced with a poison. Although not a cure, if the group can obtain Zemurian moss Agate should live, Zin agrees to help the group and they succeed in obtaining it.
The next day, Kilika informs the group that the army has abandoned their investigation on the kidnapping on Professor Russell. Suspicous of this, Dorothy then shows the group a photo of an airship that resembled the aircraft the jaegers used to kidnap Professor Russell on top of Carnelia tower. Suspiciously enough, the ship was near Leiston fortress. With this, Estelle, Joshua, Agate, and Tita infiltrate the fortress and catch Colonel Richard questioning Professor Russell how the black orbment works. After saving Professor Russell, the group rushes for an exit but thanks to Major Cid they manage to escape. While outside, the group split up where Professor Russell requests Estelle and Joshua to head to Grancel and inform the queen what Colonel Richard is up to.
종장 "왕도요란"
While trying to get to Grancel, they are stopped at Sanktheim gate but thanks to Professor Alba’s assistance, they are able to sneak through. With that the three make their way to Grancel until Estelle and Joshua meet up with Elnan, the receptionist at the Bracer Guild. While investigating the two find out the Queen is currently ill and thus Duke Dunan and Colonel Richard have split responsibility. While watching a fighting tournament, they find out that the prize is an invitation to the Royal dinner party. Estelle and Joshua join Zin’s team as this would be the only opportunity for them to get into the castle to meet with her highness.
Zin agrees for the two to join him but reconmmends they find a fourth member when with perfect timing Olivier offers to help them. In between rounds, Estelle and Joshua meet with Nial and inform him of Colonel Richard’s doings in the previous chapter. Nial suspects that he’s been pulling the strings from behind the scene since the beginning and decides to investigate the matter later. After some more battles, Nial shares all the information regarding Colonel Richard, Captain Amalthea, and 2nd Lieutenant Lorence. Later that night, Estelle and Joshua are given a letter to meet with someone at the cathedral, this turns out to be 1st Lieutenant Schwarz who we met at the end of chapter 2. She gives a letter to the two and requests to give said letter to head maid Hilda who can assist with organising a meeting with the Queen.
The final round of the tournament begins and Estelle’s group is victorious. Though before the group can make their way to the castle Olivier is dragged away by Major Vander as to prevent an international scandel as Erebonia and Liberl’s relationship is already strained as it is.
While at the castle, Estelle and Joshua manage to find Hilda and give her the letter before they meet in private to plan how she can arrange a meeting. Ultimately, Hilda dresses the two up in maid outfits to Joshua’s dismay to meet with the Queen. Finally in her highness presence, Estelle and Joshua are able to share everything they had learned about Colonel Richard. Queen Alicia informs the two about about strange orbment readings deep below the castle which was thought to be connected to an artifact. Following on, she shares the story of how Cassius was a massive help during the 100 days war with Erebonia and ultimately his assistance most likely lead them to survival. Unfortunately, the death of his wife's death was the reason why he left the military, all of this information Estelle was not even aware of. Queen Alicia ends their meeting by making a request to save her grandaughter who is being held hostage at the Erbe Royal Villa. She is aware that Colonel Richard and Duke Dunan are behind this as they are ignoring her requests and planning a coup d'etat.
The next day Estelle, Joshua, and Zin begin recruiting bracers in the area and with the assistance of 1st Lieutenant Schwars plan how they will save the hostages. After raiding the villa, Estelle comes face to face with Princess Klaudia who turns out actually be Kloe who they met in chapter 2. As a last resort, the intelligence division hold a hostage at gun point but luckily Scherazard and Olivier are able to get the upperhand and prevent the hostage from getting hurt. The group continues to liberate the castle from the intelligence division to try and save the Queen, but it’s 2nd Lieutenant Lorence who stands in the way. After defeating Estelle, Kloe, and Scherazard, Lorence takes off his mask to reveal his silver hair and declines any pity given by the Queen as she’s aware of name Hamel. After that, he states that Colonel Richard is already beneath the castle before leaping off the castle.
With that, everyone regroups and head towards the depths of the castle to meet with Colonel Richard and stop his plan. After catching up to him, Richard explains that compared to Erebonia and Calvard, Liberl is a small country with limited military power. Therefore by obtaining the power of one of the seven Sept-Terrion, Liberl could wield the power to prevent a war like the 100 days war from ever happening again. However, Joshua questions Richard as there’s no way he should possess the knowledge that he has, but just like with Don Capua and Mayor Delmore, he cannot remember.
After fighting Richard, the black orbment activates and an archaism approaches them with the goal to kill them. Even with the group and Richard attacking the archaism, it won’t stay down. It’s only until Cassuis appears and that the day is saved. After everything settles down, Cassius knocks some sense into Richard for his hunger for power and idolisation of himself as he explains that he himself was not the reason Liberl survived the war but rather the cooperation of everyone within the military.
A week later, the Queens celebration is in full swing and Estelle and Joshua finally receive their final recommendation from Elnan which promotes them to senior bracers. While the two rest, Professor Alba approaches Joshua on his own where he reveals that he was actually the mastermind behind everything. Professor Alba was just an alias, his real name is Georg Weissmen, the third anguis of Ouroboros. He was the one who manipulated peoples memories. And the way he was able to do it was having Joshua as his puppet, Joshua is actually Enforcer XIII, the black fang and was under the control of Weissmen who spied on Cassuises every move.
That night, Joshua opens up to Estelle about his past, he shares that an incident had left him without a heart, the only thing he could do was play his harmonica. It wasn’t until a man was able to fix him but this man shaped Joshua into becoming an assassin who would kill with no remorse. That was until one day he was assigned to assassinate Estelle’s father but he was no match for him. Upon being defeated, Cassuis would save him by bringing him to their home and adopting him into the Bright family. It’s only until Joshua hands over his harmonica and plans to leave that Estelle confesses her love to him. He goes in to kiss to Estelle, but in actuality laced a sedative in their kiss which causes Estelle to fight to stay awake before Joshua bids goodbye.
Fin.
