02. Desert path[edit]
FX: *A horse neighs and raises its forelegs in the air*
Conrad: Whoa! Whoa! Hazel... what was that just now?
Venera: It must have been an earthquake. Animals like horses are more sensible to them than us.
Conrad: I didn't know that there were that many earthquakes in this country.
Venera: There aren't that many and they're not very strong either. If you were in the capital you wouldn't even notice them.
Conrad: The capital... we can't see the shape of the castle walls anymore.
Venera: Well, of course. How many days do you think we've been heading north?
FX:*Hazel slowed down and aligned her horse*
Venera: You're worried about that child, aren't you ?
Conrad: Anyone would if they heard that the tunnels are dangerous.
Venera: If you were going to regret it later, then it would be better if you would have just tied him to your hands.

Venera: That's why, Lord Weller. It seems that those tunnels were made so that the royal coffins could be carried to the tomb faster.
Conrad: With what purpose?
Venera: Who knows? There must be some religious meaning behind it, you know? It seems that up until a few hundreds of years ago[2], the people who were officially in charge of the funerals lived in the underground labyrinth. Do you know about this?
Conrad: What?
Venera: According to the records, the people who were in charge of the funeral services, one day, started to develop a certain feature...
Conrad: What type of feature do you mean?
Venera: Many of them develop blindness. In other words, their eyes could not see anything, you know?
Conrad: It can't be...
