The day after the conference, the Rhodolite delegation tours the castle, medical facilities and the prosperous capital city.
While waiting for the carriage that will take them the Kloss estate, Emma braids Yves’ hair again. She wants it to be perfect since he takes the upmost care with his appearances. After she’s finished he puts on his jacket and lovingly touches the braid as he looks in the mirror. Emma starts to pick up the brush for her hair, but Yves takes over for her. He too wants to give her the gift of courage that he feels when she braids his hair.
Emma watches Yves in the mirror as he stares at her as if she’s something precious. He finishes her hair and she thanks him. He tells her not to thank him yet. She’s curious as to what he means, but soon she hears the clinking of jewelry next to her ear. Soon, she sees a beautiful shining earring on one ear. It features a Rhodolite garnet and Obsidianite stones, which is very similar to Yves’ earring.
He confesses that he had the earring made for her a long time ago, but was reluctant to give it to her because he wasn’t sure how people would react to her when they saw the obsidianite gems due to what happened on Blood Stained Rose Day. He didn’t want her to be mistreated because of it.
However, he decides to give her the earring. He’s so happy that Emma wants to support him and learn more about his family. Emma reaffirms her desire to do so. He tells her that her beloved Yves Kloss is always thinking of her and there is never a time that he isn’t. If she ever feels lonely or sad, all she needs to do is touch the earring and remember his words, and then the sadness will be drawn from her heart.
Emma says she will not remove the earring and then they depart the castle with his right hand -Ragna-*** accompanying them. They note that the town where Kloss family lived was leisurely and quiet compared to the capital. They passed many different towns and villages along the way the which showed how much Obsidian has conquered. Some towns were richer than others, and even the climates seemed different.
Yves states that the imperial family hasn’t given much attention the outer villages and towns in the past, however, they are slowly starting to improve things from within the capital and expanding out towards these villages.
Emma asks Yves how it is that he knows so much about Obsidian when information is carefully kept from outsiders and they only just arrived a few days ago. He mentions that as they were touring the castle Yves was information gathering from the people within the castle. Emma thinks that compared to herself -who was just focusing on not getting carried away with the sights of the tour - Yves demonstrates just how reliable he’s become as a King.
This motivates Emma do even better as future Queen. They start to tour the supermarket and Emma remarks on a fruit she has never seen before. She and Yves start talking about how it would taste as a candy. Emma states she wants to make some of the fruit cans with Yves.
Yves agrees it would be fun to do it together and mentions that he’ll ask the merchant to send some of the fruit to Rhodolite. They are greeted by a merchant who notices that they are dressed in finery. After briefly conversing, the two continue on their way. Emma says that she is surprised how friendly everyone in the town is. Yves agrees, saying he is surprised they aren’t being threatened or warned by the people. Not long after Emma gets a very uncomfortable feeling in her chest.
Soon they come across some kids sitting in a circle near a fountain. As they approach they notice the children are in a sewing/textiles circle. Yves asks if he and Em can watch and the kids agree. One of the children messes up his bead work and becomes disheartened because he has to start all over again.
Emma says to herself that she’d help, but she can’t stitch either. Yves steps up and asks if he could give it a shot. The child agrees and Yves skillfully teaches the child how to make the correction without starting over.
The children and Em are mesmerized. Emma asks Yves when he learned bead work like that, and he tells her that he learned just now by watching the children. They’re all surprised.
Soon, the mother of the child whom Yves helped shows up to collect them. The child runs to their mother to show her the small purse Yves helped him fix. When the mother greets Yves, her face stiffens and her eyes become cloudy. She thanks him cordially and then quickly takes her leave with her child. Emma notices the mother’s sudden change in behavior, and this wasn’t the first time it’s happened since they arrived in Obsidian…..
***So, I’m not sure if he was ever mentioned in any SE events after Act 1 or not, but much like Chev has Lucien, and Clavis has Cyran, Yves has Ragna. His name can also be translated at Laguna, but I liked Ragna better and so, I hereby deem him Ragna in all future t/l until it’s officially announced in EN. If you do know what his name is, please tell me and I’ll edit this!
