The Empire Group Finds Cassia

After teleporting to Rica Falco's house and being let inside by her father when Doc claims he wants to be taken on as an apprentice, the two admire some of the paintings. They see some wall paintings by Cassia--one being a 360 panorama of the Legend of the Crown of Truth. It reminds them of the painting of Adonis they saw the day before. After a while, Scarlet overhears two people arguing upstairs. Doc recognizes one of the voices as Lucius, and says he must be talking to Cassia. When Cassia cries, Scarlet teleports up and starts to fight Lucius until Doc stops him. Doc drops his disguise and tells Cassia she's not alone after Lucius tells her she's being a coward for running away from the truth of what her father has done. Lucius reveals that Crown Prince Drago, who was supposed to be killed 20 years ago, is actually living as the gladiator Adonis.

When Cassia cries, Scarlet teleports up and starts to fight Lucius until Doc stops him. Doc drops his disguise and tells Cassia she's not alone after Lucius tells her she's being a coward for running away from the truth of what her father has done.   Cassia had actually run away from the palace after finding out the truth of what her father had done 20 years ago. She was unable to cope with the fact that he had killed all of his siblings in cold blood--even the children--and could no longer call him father. So, she left to become an artist, as she had always wanted to.   Lucius asks Doc to come with him to the Eastern Elysian Empire toward the border of Sylvia so he can see how the Empire truly is toward outsiders. Titus has been speaking with the God of War, who wants him to use the Crown of Truth to control the world and spread discord. He explains that the Empire isn't the beacon of justice Doc thinks it is, and how he is wanting to start a revolution to become like the Edhelest Republic.   Doc and Scarlet agree, but Doc says they shouldn't tell the others. They should decide for themselves when the time comes.   Lucius reveals that Crown Prince Drago, who was supposed to be killed 20 years ago, is actually living as the gladiator Adonis.
