Fourth Song ♫ Video

[calere]

[Today, Splendor, Eco's looking breathless and flushed a happy red. Why?]

Nathanael! Nathanael came back!

[-- And if one had met him when he arrived, chances are you'd know this is his lute. He'll present it proudly to the seal anyways and pick out a few notes.]

A bard's only a scholar without his instrument, you know! Ahh~ [A very happy sigh,

[demonicbookworm]

So you're a musician...

Well, I'm glad you got your lute back.

[video]

[calere]

Yup! Poor Eco was all lost and lonely without it~

[video] <3

[demonicbookworm]

...R-really? [No wonder he is so happy about founding it, but...]

...Is there something special about this lute?

[video] <3!

[calere]

It's just a regular lute, but it's what kept me from starving. A bard always has work, after all.

[video] ♥♥

[demonicbookworm]

I see... It sounds like bards don't have an easy life...

[video] ♥♥♥

[calere]

Not if you want to live pretty comfortably! But it's a fun life to live. Traveling, singing, seeing ladies... It's very fun.

[video] ♥♥♥♥♥♥ / btw I've read the manga and I have to say I love it so much <3

[demonicbookworm]

... You traveled a lot, didn't you? [A smile.] Will you mind telling me what was your world like?

[video] ISN'T IT GREAT ahhh i love it so much ;w;

[calere]

Big. [...But he's thinking. A little homesick.] There were a lot of different kinds of people... Well, I guess you could say that about any world, huh.

[video] Yeah, it's really great! I can't wait for the new chapter ;w;

[demonicbookworm]

I think so.

...So, um, is there anything else you can tell me about it?

[video] me neither ;w; after 28's released, i might canon update Eco... als o1/2

[calere]

[Humming thoughtfully.]

Azelprade's pretty big, and there're a lot of people who rule in it - different lords and earls and all. The king has been sick for a while, and the first prince, the Crown Prince Hector, died, supposedly of illness. The second prince, Orcelito, became the Crown Prince after that. The third prince, Prince Belca, is missing, though that's mostly been attributed to rumors. [Oh...] The main enemy of the kingdom of Azelprade are the Amontel, who are said to be the descendants of darkness.

[video]

[calere]

[Letting out a breath now.] Or that's what's being said! Or was. Belca's with me coz I rescued him, and the Amontel aren't anything more than we are. A lot of it's a lie to cover more sinister acts.

[video] what? but I already read chapter 28 and 29 too xD;

[demonicbookworm]

[Listening carefully.]

...Sounds like a lot is happening in your world.

[He could ask about how it happened that Eco rescued the prince or what kind of more sinister acts the bard meant, but something else caught his attention.]

The Amontel... Why were they said to be "descendants of darkness"?

[video] I have the raws for 28-30, but I can't read japanese |D;

[calere]

It's just a name from an old fairy tale~

[video]in that case I really have to look for 30 xD Japanese is my third language

[demonicbookworm]

[Fairy tale?]

...So they used something like that to cause prejudice against your kingdom's enemy?

[video] lucky you-- and i just noticed my 30 is chinese not japanese

[calere]

[ooc: and i evidently type too much for the subject line but would you be willing to translate 28 and 29? ;w;]

The first king did, yeah. That'd be Belca's grandpa, I think. It's really terrible, coz now they're used as slaves and stuff, if not outright killed.

[video] oh chinese x_x

[demonicbookworm]

[ooc: Sure, why not. I can give it a try... just not now, I have a week full of exams ;_;]

What? That... really sounds horrible. [It's even worse than what is happening with Avatars...]
