Robina: I'm not cut out for this. I never thought ruling a kingdom was so... exhausting. You do it with such ease. Robina: You knew how to deal with the dignitaries. Which hands to shake. Robina: I should have watched you. I should have been around... Robina: Brittany's much better suited for this than me. Even Tara. Robina: Brit's not doing well... Whenever she starts regaining even a sliver of health, the next day she's robbed of it. Robina: She's getting worse and I don't know what to do. Robina: Jaania's doing her best, but it's so frustrating having no other options. Robina: I can't do anything... Robina: I can't do anything right... Robina: Even though people tell me otherwise, Circe's heard them talking behind my back... I was never any good at this. Robina: I can't sleep... Robina: I have no one... Robina: No one I can trust here. Robina: I'm surrounded by nobles who only want money and power... *Robina begins to cry as she laments that her simpler days is behind now.* Robina: Mom... Robina: I don't want this! Robina: I want to go back to the days I could just... *Robina cries in silence until she hears a familiar voice that shows up on the balcony to see her.* ???: That's not how a queen should act. *Robina's eyes widened in surprise as she turns around to face whoever comes to see her.* Robina: Momma?! *Robina's expression changes from surprise to exasperation when she realizes who actually came to the balcony.* Robina: Oh... Robina: It's you. *The individual is revealed is none other than Jaania herself, who returned from her travels to The Fissure; Robina is not pleased to see Jaania.* Robina: Don't you ever knock? Jaania: Greetings, my Queen. I just wanted to notify you that I've returned and I'm ready to serve you as you see fit. Robina: ... Jaania: My Lady... if you ever need advice, please don't hesitate to knock on my door. Jaania: I know a thing or two about managing people. Jaania: You said you can't sleep. I'd be more than happy to help you with that. Jaania: Although... a good leader loses sleep, so that their subjects can rest well at night. Robina: Thank you, but I don't require your advice. Jaania: Very well. *Jaania smiles despite that Robina is resistant of her advice.* Jaania: I could relieve you of the burden. You could be happy... I... would make a good queen. Robina: I beg your pardon? Jaania: My apologies, never mind that. Farewell, my Lady. Jaania: I'll be in my study in the Ivory Tower, should you need me. Robina: I won't. *Robina and Jaania briefly exchange glares at each other until Jaania turns around to leaves the balcony, leaving Robina by herself once more; meanwhile, in the Ivory Tower, Akanthus can seen holding a focus point from Bolemira when Amadeus approaches him from behind.* Amadeus: General Akanthus. *Akanthus's eyes shift toward the direction of Amadeus.* Akanthus: Don't you ever knock? Amadeus: Lady Jaania has returned from her voyage and asked me to deliver these reports to you. Amadeus: She expects you to familiarize yourself with them and report to her as soon possible. *Amadeus hands Akanthus the reports; Akanthus puts down the focus point on a desk as he look over Jaania's reports of The Fissure.* Akanthus: ... *Akanthus is surprised by what the reports document and becomes alarmed when he finishes reading them.* Akanthus: Have you read this? Amadeus: I didn't, obviously. Amadeus: These documents were sealed. Akanthus: ... Akanthus: This... this is certainly interesting. Akanthus: The Fissure... Akanthus: You're dismissed. *Akanthus walks out of the room while Amadeus looks at him from behind without turning around; after Akanthus leaves, Amadeus looks at the focus point that Akanthus put down on a desk; scene shifts to focus back at Amadeus before it fades to black.* Complete Quest Other information This quest was reimagined with new dialogue on July 28th, 2023.
