This isn't our first time sneaking out but, I've never chaperoned you outside of the capital before. Look at you, all bright eyed like the fresh meat that shows up at the knights' training grounds. Let's not go too crazy. How about we chat up someone in town? Look, there's a kid playing outside his house. Try to be casual, treat him like another adult. We're outside the castle so we'll drop formalities. Haha, nervous? You'll get used to it.
The bandits got to the supposed monster child first. A shapeshifter huh? They didn't kill them, only took them away. Just off the top of my head, I can think of a million ways the bandits could use the shapeshifter to cause harm. We need to find that kid before they get hurt too.

Loshe figured out we were from the capital because of how nice our clothes are. The bandits can tell too. That's what I get for taking you shopping. You drag me into a boutique and I get mistaken for being bougie. Let's get rid of these pests discreetly. Them and their dogs. Hmm, I'm getting a bad feeling from this.
These poor dogs were poached from the wild. I can tell they've been abused horribly. Ugh, it reminds me of the poachers we busted a couple months ago. I thought it would end when we chased them out of Astravia but it looks like it's a common practice. That shapeshifter is going to be another victim.

We've spent too much time in the village. Loshe said that the shapeshifter had been taken today. If we're fast enough, we can catch up to them in the forest. I wish our maps weren't so outdated. The capital doesn't pay enough attention to remote villages to keep them up to date. And of course, the path is hidden by the foliage. Let's scout ahead carefully, and make note of markers. That way, I won't get executed for losing the Prince in the woods.
Don't get me wrong, I love exploring. One day, when Astravia regains its shine, I'd like to go past its borders to travel all around Lore as an Astravian Envoy. But, I hate paperwork a little less than reading guides. My neck already hurts thinking about the reports and maps I'll have to draw. Wish there was someone who liked that sort of thing. Heh, what if I had someone else hired to read me everything too? Ah, luxuries for a rough soul.

Look at these layabouts. The bandits were taking their time, lounging in the woods having a breather. I'll count that as lucky for us. We'll go through them one by one and shake them down for information. You know how I love to pounce on someone with their head in the clouds, or buried in a book. Pay attention if you don't want a scare.
Drat, they were instructed to lag behind to watch for anyone following them. The main caravan continued ahead with the ‘cargo.' Luckily, they plan to broker a better deal with their patron at a nearby location. We have the advantage as long as they know we're not coming. Haha, will that be hard for a Prince that gets a symphonic introduction when he steps into the kitchen?

Found them! And someone's already rearranged their faces and limbs, ouch. That must have hurt, considering whoever did this also pried open the bars of that cage with their bare hands. The kid escaped, hopefully unscathed. We need to find them before the bats swarm. All this ruckus riled them up. I can see why Astravians don't take vacations to Eridani often. My ears…
Look at the bandits tossed around the forest floor. I mistook a few from a pile of dead leaves. Even Regulus on a bad day can't do this much damage. Glad this stranger is a friend and not another party interested in gold. The child is scraped and bruised but not in any immediate danger. Poor kid, still shaking like a leaf. Let's give him some water before we start asking questions.

What were the Eridani villagers afraid of? Tripping over the poor kid. I guess there was a real danger of that when they were kicking him. Let's get his side of the story and treat his wounds. In the meantime, could you scout ahead? I'd do it myself but the kid's a hugger. Stay hidden and don't take risks. I'm giving the bandages I was saving for you to the kid.
I grew up in the alleyways so being able to pick apart lies was a necessity of survival for me. Without any doubt, this kid speaks with their heart on their sleeve. I think they needed a moment to cry and vent their heart out. But that outsider they mentioned, they went after the bandits alone? Could they already be inside the cave you mentioned?

The bandits up ahead must have sensed that something was wrong. Great, and none of the sleepyheads around us are conscious. Is it too late to wake one of them up to lie about everything being fine? I'll work on that and you can handle the dogs that got sent our way. Hurts to have to fight them. I know Titania would be devastated. He's a real dog lover. Huh? You have a plan? Sure, I'll help you catch some bats.
Ha! Such a softie! Baiting the dogs with the bat wings and leading them back to the wild. Scoring points with Titania and even the kid too. Looks like you have another big fan. Suppose that it's not everyday we see someone going out of their way to be kind. Especially not from a noble.

Did you just ask the kid to hug me and cry if I tried to leave you behind with them? You know I can't leave weepy kids alone! Including you. I'm not letting you into that cave alone! It'll gobble you up! Don't get me wrong, you got the guts. But, a real fight without me to help you is a lot different from one in a closed arena…Ugh, at least put together a disguise and take them by surprise.
I mean it, Darkon. Make sure no one knows it's you. Yes, this is me telling my liege to his face that he's going to get creamed like butter. Backing away and waving so-long, huh? You're going to get a real good suplex after this one. The kid's going to need an extra pair of hands to cover his eyes and ears.

The Outsider did make it in first! Wow, literally mopped the floor with the bandits. There's more of them on the ground than there is dirt. Hm…She seems angry. I think it's because you're dressed like a bandit. Quick, tell her you're a concerned noble in disguise! That's not really a lie. Ah…made it worse did it? Stall then! Defend yourself, and I'll run over as fast as possible!
Well, well, well. Looks like you two worked it out. I've never seen your ears so red. Ha, it's blending in with your hair!
