"I'm no prince. You probably have a better claim to the Etrurian throne than I," Lennox quipped, looking over the breakfast before him. He looked at it a bit disappointed. The pancakes were too fluffy. Crepes would've been better. He began devouring the eggs and bacon while Renata and Tiras spoke up.
"It was a blitzkrieg. But that wasn't all. My cousin, Maria, and her uncle...," Lennox paused as he turned towards the group, "Wolfram, fled to Bern for safety. My cousin Shad, our allies, and other Etrurian lords north of Aquleia that hadn't mobilized yet never even saw action. A man close to the king betrayed Etruria for the new Lycian regime and now he reigns over the ashes of Aquleia as it's marquess. But...that's not all. They tore down the Tower of the Saint, just like Tiras said. But do you know what was in the Tower of the Saint? I don't have proof, but I believe they took the Legendary weapon of the Saint herself and used it to destroy Tania. The Emperor has agents looking all over for ancient relics. I'm sure that it's related."
"And, you two are forgetting the Church branding all wielders of Dark and Anima magics as heathens to be converted or struck down," Lennox paused to take a breath and turned towards Renault after that comment about there being some left. "Uh...yeah. I didn't have this scar and had a shirt when we landed here," Lennox commented pointing at his shirtlessness and the scar from the bolting spell. "I'm afraid there might be more down the road but first things first. They were talking about Nergal and him waiting at the Dragon's gate. Except for the one who said we weren't part of Eliwood's cadre. That was a weird one." He yawned after that comment, realizing that he was still tired and that's why he was rambling. "Wait. You left the island and came back and didn't run into any morphs? Did Wolfram disturb whatever ones were left before he left us here?"
