CHAPTER I: FIRST MEETING WITH CADET ALGUS

『First Meeting with Cadet Algus: A swordsman attacked by the Death Corps on the Mandalia Plains was saved. His name was Algus, a local knight of Marquis Elmdor, leader of Limberry. He was attacked while heading for Igros. The Marquis was abducted. Algus was the only survivor. Algus asked the Hokuten to save the Marquis...』

[Algus, Ramza, and Delita all stand on the Mandalian field. Algus points to himself.]

ALGUS: I'm Algus...of the Limberry Aegis Knights....

DELITA: A knight..?

[Algus turns to him.]

ALGUS: ...I mean, a cadet... like you all.

[Ramza gestures to himself.]

RAMZA: I'm Ramza Beoulve. This is Delita, a good friend.

[Delita bows his head. Algus seems taken aback.]

ALGUS: Beoulve...? ...of the Hokuten? Excellent! How lucky I am!

RAMZA: ???

[Algus grabs his hand very suddenly. Ramza is surprised.]

ALGUS: I beg of you, please help me save the Marquis!

DELITA: What are you talking about?

ALGUS: The Marquis is still alive! They've kidnapped him! He will be killed, if we don't act fast! I don't know what I would do if.....

[Algus bows his head, eyes closed, and then aggressively takes Ramza by the hand again.]

ALGUS: So, please! Help me! Please!!

DELITA: Relax. We don't know for sure if he'll be killed. There must be some reason for Death Corps to take him. They might have made some demands.

RAMZA: Besides, there is nothing we can do. The Marquis was kidnapped, and I'm sure by now everyone at Igros Castle is up in arms.

DELITA: First, we should go to Igros and report.

[Algus finally lets go of Ramza's hand.]

ALGUS: All right. Let's do that.
