Zef: *Think* It looks like it's here, why did you tell me to come without weapons? Isn't it supposed to be training?

Mneseo: I'm sorry to give you so many indications, but it was important not to generate suspicion

Zef: Suspicious? What are you talking about? Aren't you supposed to be my teacher?

Mneseo: Yes, but we have been waiting for you for a long time

Zef: Why do you speak in the plural?

Mneseo: You will know soon, please come with me

Zef: Okay...

Guard: Where do you think you're going? Prince Mneseo

Mneseo: We have special permission from King Triton. We are going to train on the outskirts so as not to cause damage

Guard: Remember that it is forbidden to set foot on the outer lands

We are very proud to have opened up to the world, and that they have accepted our people and our culture despite the differences.

Poseidon: Quick!

Counselor: Not my king, but his wife wouldn't want this

*Poseidon hits the advisor, but he does not react*

Poseidon: Tch, do whatever you want with that child, I don't care

*Poseidon leaves the place while the child is shown full of bruises and bleeding*

Counselor: I'm sorry sir, I'm sorry for my cowardice, if I had done something before, you wouldn't have suffered so much, but today I'll make up for that. I promise you
