Back to the present.
"So, what do you think of Verspala so far?" ← Sophia
"What do I think you say…yes there are many things that are going on in this city, but if I have to give prioritization, we need to figure out how to permanently lift up the weird curse spreading around."
Alice responds truthfully.
Sophia adjusts her glasses and answers back.
"It's a Kingdom now mind you, don't let them hear you saying Verspala is a city. Also, that is not the priority– the real priority is to bring back Hughes."
Alice tilts her head in confusion.
'Is Hughes really that important a player in her plans? If he is, what would be his role? Also, isn't she the one who forces him to resign? I really can't get a hold of her way of thinking…'
"I see. How do we do that then, Master Sophia?"
"Oh we just have to earn some nice currency first."
Sophia reveals to Alice what they have earned so far by selling their concoctions.
