An Unfound Door, Chapter Three

Early the next morning, Agnes tries to light the campfire with an intonation used by Fhiad the night before. She reflects on how the kingdom of Faloren was once renowned for its sorcery, and how the suppression of magic following the war with Erdbhein led to the king punishing her for her childhood gift for spellcraft. Fhiad wakes during her attempt to kindle the bonfire, and he mocks her lack of success. Agnes acknowledges that his disdain is not undeserved, and her sincerity convinces him to share more of his story.

Fhiad says he was unsuited to be an emissary and left of his duties to his cousin Lukhara while he studied Faloren legends in the castle library. His interest in a magical relic called “the Eternal Tear of Soreiya” was encouraged by the princess, whom he accuses of manipulating him. He was imprisoned shortly after uncovering a map of its location under the castle, and he claims that he is unable to remember much of anything that happened since then. He tells Agnes that he wants nothing more than to leave the past behind him, and she makes the decision to free him from the control of the silver bridle. They agree to part ways as soon as they leave the forest but end the chapter on friendly terms.

An Unfound Door, Chapter Four

Late that night, Agnes returns to Faloren Castle under the escort of her aide Myla, who rode to meet her at the edge of the forest. Agnes immediately goes to see her father the king, who is bedridden from a lingering illness. She is met at the door to his chambers by her cousin Galien. Galien has conspired with Myla to hide her abduction, and he informs her that it was he who sent the knight Caelif to her rescue. Without inquiring further, Agnes attends her father. He does not wake, and Agnes reflects on the decrepit state of the castle. She excuses herself and uses a discrete servant’s passage to visit the kitchen, where the castle Housekeeper, Taibh, gives her bread and wine and asks no questions.

I'm sorry, and you're welcome.

None of these photos are gross, by the way. Just bizarre. You don't actually have to be familiar with the games to get the jokes, but there are some gems if you understand the references. "Elden Ring" indeed lmao.
