Satra

[Satra]

I understand that my

home is extravagantly

splendid and to approach

any Kappelthaine is an

honor to most commoners.

However, Klitzer

has no reason to feel so

intimidated. Tell the poor

boy that he's earned the

honor of speaking with me.

Ho ho ho ho~

Welcome adventurer,

I so enjoy our little chats.

Hors d'oeuvre?

Oh! You can't enjoy

any food in that state!

Your hands are atrociously

grimy! May I ask why?

Ah~

In my excitement,

I nearly forgot that

I asked you to bring

Coals to me again!

My apologies~

You've brought so much Coal

to me, I'm convinced that you're much more diligent than those

languid peasants in Einbech.

I appreciate that you've labored so much to win my favor.

Hm, what was that?

Someone else provided

these Coals and you were

only delivering them? Then

who actually gathered these?

Ah, Klitzer?

I must say, that's

a very humble name.

Yet it's so familiar...

Ah, I recall there

was a hooligan that

has been pestering my

daughter named Klitzer.

Perhaps they are one

and the same. Hmm...

I remember that he was

rather shabby looking and

lacked any semblance of

etiquette whatsoever. Clearly,

he is a fool and a coward, but now I see that he is sincere.

It might not be possible

to let him go out with my

daughter straight away, but

I will invite him for a spot of

tea. And if Calla likes him,

well, he must be special.

For a humble peasant,

this must be like a dream

come true! And to have tea

with Klitzer. Oh, what would

the girls say? Ah, but I did

marry that oafish Megass~

Anyway, when you next

meet Klitzer, please tell

him to pay me a visit soon.

Oh, and remind him to dress

appropriately for this special

occasion. Ho ho ho ho ho~

I beg your pardon?

I believe I may have

misheard you. Ho ho ho ho~

Ah...

It seems you've

forgotten your Coals.

A silly mistake, but one

I'm willing to overlook.

Why hello~

Your visits have

recently been quite

delightful, fair adventurer.

Continue to show

your appreciation

and dedication to me

and you'll soon be known

to be my most favored

commoner. Ho ho ho ho~

I'm sure you've noticed

the strained relationship

between Einbroch and Einbech

by now. It's a shame, really.

As Einbroch grew wealthier

and Einbech became more

destitude, the affluent began

despising the impoverished.

I suppose it follows that the poor started to resent the rich.

It might be said that

both towns have been

trying to take advantage

of each other, but it's

clear that Einbroch has

always had the upper hand.

In fact, because of

this rift between our

cities, our families are

taught not to associate

with the people of Einbech.

Now, I believe that most

people who live in Einbech

are peons, but that does not

mean I will not give them a

chance to prove their worth.

Why should I deprive

the lowly of my gracious

presense if they prove

themselves meritable?

Oh, that was scrumptious!

If you wish to pay me another

visit, don't forget to bring some Coal with you. Tah tah~

Oh, my apologies!

I suppose you're just

here for sight seeing,

or perhaps you're running

some sort of adventurer's

errand. Am I right?

I know you well enough

to know that you wouldn't

be so rude as to stop by

and chat without bringing

any Coal. Ho ho ho ho~

*Titter~*

Why, if it isn't my

intrepid adventurer.

My word!

Why are you carrying

all of that dirty Coal

with you? You poor,

impoverished thing.

Oh! Dear me,

I've nearly forgotten~

How divinely silly of me!

Once again, I graciously

accept your small gift on

behalf of the Kappellthaines.

Let me share a little

bit of history concerning

our lovely Einbroch. At one

time, there was only Einbech,

the mining village. You can

imagine how long ago that was.

However, the minerals

and ores mined in Einbech

need to be processed and

refined in factories that were

all built in a nearby industrial complex which became Einbroch.

Now every citizen in

Einbroch is wealthy and

it's well known that there

is a higher standard of

living here than in Einbech.

Goodness, I believe

it's time for a spot of tea~

The next time you wish to have

an audience with me, it would

behoove you to bring another

gift of Coal. Toodles~

My apologies, but you

must first prove to me

that you are worthy of

conversation. Why don't

you deliver more of those

Coals, mmm?

After all, I have no other

means of knowing whether

or not you appreciate the time

I sacrifice by socializing with

someone of your status.

My, you've already

brought the Coal?

How charmingly

prompt you are~

On behalf of the

Kappellthaine family,

I shall ignore your lowly

status and graciously

accept your small gift.

Do you hail from

Einbech, adventurer?

Ah, the Rune-Midgarts

kingdom! I've visited your

country. It's quite quaint

and Jawaii is very lovely.

Well, I shall try to

find some use for these.

I'm afraid the gift I've asked

from you isn't very practical.

How is Coal usually used?

Ah, I have a novel idea!

Wouldn't it be

intoxicatingly wild if

Megass were to hold one

of those social functions that

the lower classes are so fond

of? A 'barbeque,' yes?

In any case, if you

bring me more of that

Coal, you would be even

more favored by me and

you'll become a recipient

of my good graces. Ho ho~

A wandering adventurer...?

How ravishingly delightful!

You must have risked life and

limb to sneak past my husband

to enjoy the captivating sights

of my home. Ho ho ho ho~

Since you're a very

unique guest, I shall

give you a unique honor

and deign to converse

with you, adventurer.

Einbech exists to provide

my family with coal and

materials from their mines.

It's a natural law: workers

must be led by a chosen few.

It's delightfully

ludicrous to see those

workers aspire to reach

our heights of social

prestige. Ho ho ho ho~

Oh, I haven't spoken to

someone from a lower

class in ages! It feels

so forbiddenly exciting!

Well adventurer, that's

the end of our informal

chat. I'll even grant you

full permission to boast

of the fact that you've

spoken to Lady Satra.

If you do wish for

me to share words with

you once more, prove to

me that you're worthier

than the other peons of

my graceful presense.

Oh, I have a marvelous

idea! Why don't you bring

me Coals? It's not impossible

for someone like yourself, but

this kind of task will require

some effort on your part.

Tah tah,

adventurer~

A wandering

adventurer...?

How sinfully

intriguing!

Oh, do not worry.

I'm sure the beauty of

my home has captured your

curiosity. My brutish excuse

for a husband would have you

beat if he found you...

But I'm far more genteel

than Megass. You're more

than welcome to enjoy the

furnishings. Ho ho ho ho~
