Start a new day in the city.

You feel a lot better this morning. You wonder what if this world is similar to an RPG with its class system and levels, that maybe you growing in power also means you heal faster as well. Your stamina seems restored. Your body doesn't ache anymore. All in all, you feel back to normal. You meet up with your party to eat breakfast and head out begin a brand new day.

The sky is cloudier this morning, though the sun still peeks out from the horizon. It doesn't appear that it'll be as hot as the previous couple days, but you see no rain in the distance.

As you make your way back towards the plaza, you talk about what everyone wants to do. Eva and Amara both want to go clothes shopping. Alice doesn't speak up, but is convinced to also find new clothes to wear by the other two. Niki wants to see if they sell any cool magic weapons and things somewhere in the city. Delphi seems happy with whatever anyone else wants to do, probably because she knows they'll find a way to embarrass themselves no matter what. Snow doesn't speak up either. Yin just wants to follow you no matter where you go.

"Yeah, Alice. Let's get you something cute to wear," Eva says with a wide smile.

"Hey, Amara," you say quietly. "Can you make sure Alice is given something appropriate to wear?"

"I heard that!" Eva shouts.

"Oh yeah. And let's not split up too much. It's too dangerous."

While walking, you spot a man clad in expensive plate armour walk straight up in front of your group. You all come to a halt. Before you can speak, however, he does first.

"Pardon my interruption!" he speaks. "This is a message for Kyle Warren directly from her majesty Queen Catherine II."

"Woah. You're famous," Niki says.

"You have been summoned to the castle immediately. Please come with me. And this request is for only yourself, so I apologize to the rest of you. We cannot have this many people coming to the castle at once, and it was by her request that you specifically come."

You turn to your party. "Well, you did all want to do stuff. As much as I'd rather come, I guess I'll deal with this first. Then we can meet up later?"

"I guess that works," Eva says. "Just don't be too long, okay?"

"I have no idea how long it'll be. I don't even know why I'm being summoned. So while I'm gone, how about you guys stay in two groups? Amara, Eva, Yin, and Alice can shop for clothes together, while Niki, Snow, and Delphi can look at weapons or whatever you want. Just don't split up or you might run into trouble, and we'll probably never find you in a city this big."

Snow salutes. "Of course."

"Please be safe," Yin says.

Well I did wanna just chill all day, but I guess it's politics time. Maybe I'm just getting a thank you for something, and then I can be on my way.
