──Antechamber

Teo
「What's the matter, Tyr?
 Are you feeling nervous?
 Don't worry. The audience will be over soon.

 You can just act as you always do.
 His majesty the emperor may be a stern man,
 but there's nothing to be afraid of.」

A maid comes to invite the two.

Maid
「Master Teo, Master Tyr.
 Preparations for the audience have been completed.
 Please come this way.」

The maid leads the two to the audience chamber.

Maid
「Grand General of the imperial army, Master Teo McDohl.
 And his son
 Master Tyr McDohl.

 Now entering,
for an audience with his imperial majesty.」

──Audience room

Barbarossa
「Good of you to come, Teo.
 How are you, same as ever?」

Teo
「I'm the same as I was when I fought together
 with Your Majesty in the succession war.」

Barbarossa
「That's promising to hear.
 Don't you think, Windy?」

Windy
「I do indeed.
 Spoken as befits a grand general.」

Barbarossa
「Teo. You should also know about the signs of unrest
occurring in the north. How about it,
 will you head out to take on the northern defense?」

Cabinet Minister
「The conflict with the United City-States of Jowston in the north
 cannot be dealt with by ordinary means,
 but we can rest at ease with General Teo there.」

Barbarossa
「This, my beloved sword Prakk, is a sword of good fortune
 which has protected me on countless occasions.
 I bestow it upon you. Take it with you.」

Teo accepts Prakk.

Teo
「Thank you.
 This Teo will make certain to meet
with your majesty's expectations.」

Barbarossa
「I'm relying on you.
 Come back safely, Teo.」

Tyr moves to stand in the emperor's presence.

Barbarossa
「Hm, so that's Teo's son,
 Tyr, is it.
 As expected, he has a good look about him.

 Tyr,
 while Teo is out defending the north,
 you'll lend the empire your strength
 in your father's place, won't you?」

Tyr
「I understand」 ←

Barbarossa
「Indeed.
 You're a fine young man, just like your father.
 I have one more thing to look forward to now.」

「I don't want to」 ←

Barbarossa
「Ha ha ha hah,
 as expected of Teo's son.
 Listen, Tyr.

 You're free to choose the path you walk.
 However, there are still many things
 you're better off learning beneath me as of now.
 It won't be too late to start after that.」

Teo
「Thank you,
your words are more than we deserve.」

Cabinet Minister
「Lord Kraze, commanding officer of the Imperial Guards,
 will be Lord Tyr's superior.」

Windy comes up to Tyr.

Windy
「Fufufu,
 what a cute young master.
 Do your best now, little Tyr.」

Teo
「Well then, please excuse us as we take our leave here.」

Barbarossa
「I'm relying on you. Teo.
 And Tyr, I look forward to your
making greater achievements than Teo.」

The two take their leave of the audience hall.

Teo
「Right, let's go home.」

──Downstairs

Teo calls out to Tyr.

Teo
「Kraze's office is right here.
 Starting tomorrow, he'll be your commanding officer.
 Go in and greet him.」

Teo
「It'll be fine,
 don't worry;
 I'll be right here waiting for you.」

Tyr enters Kraze's office.

Kraze
「Hmm.
 So you're Teo's son, are you?
 Your name?

 Tyr....huh.

 Hmph.
 You may be the son of the grand general,
 but you won't be getting any special treatment here.

 Understand?
 If you do, then go home.
 Work starts tomorrow.
 You'll be coming here first thing tomorrow morning.」

Kraze2
「You're still here?
 Didn't you hear me
 when I told you to leave just now?

 Hmph.
 Work starts tomorrow,
 don't be late!
 Make sure you understand that.」

Tyr excuses himself from Kraze's office.

Teo
「Finished with introductions, are you?
 Although, having a coward like that
 as your superior officer is.....

 Well, let's head home.
 We don't want to keep Gremio worrying.」

The two leave the royal palace and head the McDohl residence in Greminster.

Detours

Before the audience, wander around the palace instead of talking to Teo.

──Antechamber - Next Door

Kasim Hazil
「So you're Tyr, Teo's son?
 Here now, let me get a good look at your face.

 ...............

 Hah-hah hah hah ha.
 You've got look about you, just like Teo.
 You'll become an important man as well.
 This Kasim Hazil guarantees it.」

Kasim Hazil2
「Oi, is it really okay for you
 to be wandering aimlessly around in a place like this?
 You have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor, don't you?」

──Downstairs

Kraze
「Where did you sneak in from?
 This is the office of the great Lord Kraze,
 commanding officer of the Imperial Guard!」

After the audience, explore the palace.

──Antechamber - Next Door

Kasim Hazil
「Oh, if it isn't Teo.
 It seems you've got a good son on your hands.
 I envy you.」

Teo
「Don't poke fun at me, Kasim.」

Kasim Hazil 2
「When will it be my turn?
 They've been making the Grand General Kasim Hazil
 wait for a good while now.」
