• [Absent-Minded Boy] Woof-woof, have you heard this song? Mommy taught me to sing it, you know. She says it was sung by people for a long time~

  Game requirement

• ^3355FFThe boy continued speaking to the dog like an old friend, ignoring your presence and acting as if you didn't exist.^000000

  Game requirement

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] Kaanu... What did I tell you about ignoring people's questions!

  Game requirement

• [Kaanu] ......... .................. Uh oh, Woof-woof. Mommy seems upset for some reason.

  Game requirement

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] I'm sorry, my kid is... Look, did you want to know more about that song? Try not to worry about it: it's just an old children's tune.

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] Not too many people come to this remote area. What brings you all the way over here, I wonder?

• [ Actually, I'm just trying to learn the real lyrics of that song that little boy has been singing.

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] .........

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] That song's lyrics, and its meaning, can change from person to person as time goes on. I suppose part of the reason is because it's been handed down orally...

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] It sounds like such a happy song, but it's meaning had changed for me ever since the accident had happened... It's been so long, but I don't think the pain will ever heal.

  Accident?

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] I'm... I'm sorry. I don't think I can talk about it. If I try, I know I'll relive the horror. Every day is already a struggle to cope with the sins I've committed.

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] I know it's selfish, but I have a favor to ask of you. I can't really leave this area, and seldom do I receive visitors. Would you be so kind to deliver something to Prontera for me?

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] I used to live in Prontera, and ever since the accident, Father Bamph has been so very supportive of me. It's not enough to repay his kindness, but please give these herbs to him for me.

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] You can find ^3131FFFather Bamph^000000 in ^3131FFProntera Church^000000. When you see him, please give him my warmest regards. I would do it myself, but because of what I did, I can't return to Prontera...

• [ ^333333(Alright then. I guess I should deliver these herbs to Prontera Church before I talk to Rodafrian.)^000000

• Dialogue ends here

• [Exhausted-Looking Woman] Father Bamph has helped me so much. Please bring that herb pouch to him in Prontera Church, and give him my warmest regards.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Bonnie Imbullea] Oh, you've come back? Were you able to deliver that pouch of herbs that I gave you to Father Bamph?

• [ Yes, I did. Actually, Father Bamph sent me here to ask you a few things. You see, he told me all about the royal secret and, well, your exorcism.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] Oh. I see. You must think me a monster... Those poor children are dead because of me...

• [ N-no! Not at all! I just wanted to ask if there was a connection between the song that Kaanu has been singing and Jormungand's curse.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] ... ...... .........

• [Bonnie Imbullea] After the exorcism failed, I should have been punished with death. But the royal family and the Prontera Church took mercy on me, and allowed me to live here in exile.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] I began to sing this song to keep myself distracted, even if it was related to the Jormungand curse.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] You know, now that I think about it, I do remember hearing that after the exorcism failed, a maid found a fragment of a Red Gemstone while cleaning the secret ceremonial grounds.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] I always thought it was a little strange. I wanted to investigate it, but then I was discharged from the Prontera Church after my failure...

• [ A fragment from a Red Gemstone? Maybe... maybe it's evidence that someone sabotaged the exorcism!

• [Bonnie Imbullea] What happened was tragic, but it would make me feel so much better if that were really the truth. Even if the exorcism was sabotaged, we can't turn back time...

• [ ^333333(Hmm... I better head back to Prontera Church and let Father Bamph know about this information.)^000000

• Dialogue ends here

• [Bonnie Imbullea] It's really very difficult to live with this guilt. I was trained to help people, not kill them!

• ^3355FFYou tried to comfort Bonnie Imbullea for a little while before you return to Prontera Church.

• Dialogue ends here

• ^3355FFYou tell Bonnie Imbullea that the deaths of the princes were not her fault and that the exorcism was probably sabotaged. However, you keep specifics, like the use of poison, to yourself.^000000

• [Bonnie Imbullea] Is that really true...? Oh, I'm so happy! I really thought I'd have to live the rest of my in seclusion with this horrible shame. Oh, thank you so much for your help!

• [Bonnie Imbullea] Kaanu will be able to meet other kids his own age... We can finally live a normal life. How wonderful...

• [Bonnie Imbullea] But wait... How exactly did the princes die, then? There weren't any wounds on the bodies from what I remember...

• [ Well, um, I wouldn't know anything about that, but Father Bamph and Father Biscuss are handling the investigation, and they're doing their best to find out.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] I see. Well, I believe in them: they're great priests, after all. Although I may be forgiven for my failure, I still fear for the royal family... All I can do for now is pray.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] Anyway, I promise that I won't reveal what I know about this incident to the public. And if you ever come by the mountain again, I hope you stop by to visit us.

• [Bonnie Imbullea] You don't understand how much the news you've brought really means to me. I can finally free myself from this burdensome guilt... Thank you, kind adventurer~

• ^3355FFNow, you can return to Rodafrian, the historian stationed in Morocc.^000000

• Dialogue ends here

• [Bonnie Imbullea] By your grace and mercy, please pity the poor souls and protect the royal family... Bless us with your light and may your wisdom guide us...

• Dialogue ends here

• [Bonnie Imbullea] I guess we've gotten too used to the peace and serenity of Mount Mjolnir. It won't be easy to leave, even if we're welcome to return to Prontera...

• Dialogue ends here

• [Bonnie Imbullea] Thank you so much for helping out in the investigation of the princes. I'd never know happiness again if it weren't for your efforts.
