[masahiro and yonome arrive at the top of the staircase]

Masahiro: [sigh] why make a city that has levels?.

Yonome: I have no idea.

[nishio and yuki raise their swords and point them towards yonome and masahiro]

Nishio: names?.

[yonome looks at nishio surprised]

Yonome: oh my name is yonome toshihiko.

[nishio smiles]

Nishio: [heh] you're the two from glockgate right?.

Yonome: yes.

Nishio: yuki go tell the emperor they're here.

Yuki: right.

[yuki opens the door to the emperors palace]

Yuki: sir, the two from glockgate are here to meet you.

[saito smiles]

Saito: let them in.

Yuki: Yes sir, right away.

[yuki leaves the emperors palace]

Yuki: the emperor said let them in.

[nishio smiles]

Nishio: ok, you two are good to go.

Yonome: thank you.

[the doors open and masahiro and yonome enter the emperors palace]

[saito raises up out of his throne]

Saito: you two are from glockgate, correct.

Yonome: Yes sir.

Saito: You are the yonome toshihko correct?

Yonome: Yes sir.

[saito picks up his cane and points it at masahiro]

Saito: And who are you?.

Masahiro: I'm Masahiro kusakabe sir.

Saito: Are you in relation with yonome?.

Masahiro: No sir, I'm just here to protect her.

[saito smiles]

Saito: You have a good head on your shoulders my boy.

[masahiro looks at saito surprised]

Masahiro: What do you mean?.

Saito: I mean you're a good man to protect a lady like yonome.

Masahiro: Thank you sir.

[saito sits down on his throne]

Saito: oh, where are my manners, im saito takenao the emperor of labostead.

Yonome: So you wanted to talk with us?.

[saito smiles]

Saito: In fact I did, since we are family yonome, I want you to give glockgate to me.

[yonome looks at saito surprised]

Yonome: Why would I give the city I grew up in to you?.

Saito: Because you are in no shape to run a city, I've heard your city fell due to the lack of security.

Yonome: Well yes.

Saito: exactly.

Masahiro: sir, yonome will be a great ruler one day, but you can't take glockgate from us.

[saito smiles]

Saito: Is that so?.

Saito: I'll make a deal with you two, you have three years to make glockgate great again and if I see no improvement I will take the city by force.

[masahiro looks at saito surprised]

Masahiro: wait a minute.

Yonome: We accept your offer!!!.

[masahiro looks at yonome surprised]

Masahiro: what are you doing?.

Yonome: what any good ruler would do.

Saito: ok then, deal.

[saito smiles]

Saito: I'll let you two stay with your friend in the medical district till he is better then you have to leave the city.

Masahiro: understood.

Saito: Now go on, and take care of your friend because when he heals you have glockgate to take care of.

Yonome: ok.

[masahiro and yonome leave the emperors palace]

Masahiro: Who is that man?.

Yonome: He's my uncle.

[masahiro looks at yonome suprised]

Masahiro: Well, as soon as okuda gets better, let's leave this place and make glockgate better than any city there is.

[yonome blushes]

Yonome: yeah.

[masahiro smiles]

masahiro: good, now come on before it gets too late.

yonome: ok.
