"This knowledge is too great, too much of a threat," Leder says to Dinah. "And there is more still.
"Let me also talk about Osohe Castle. Apparently, long ago, a kingdom existed on this island, centered around the king of Osohe. However, when we arrived on the White Ship, the people of this kingdom were gone. It seems they had left the islands, fearing the Dragon's eventual awakening someday. Before boarding the White Ship, Princess Kumatora was an infant who had lost her mother and father."
Kumatora squeezes her arm around Lucas a little tighter before leaning her head on his.
"Upon coming to these islands, she was given to the Magypsies to raise, and given the role of princess of Osohe Castle. Wess and Duster being her retainers was another part of the fabricated 'story'.
"Osohe Castle is one of the few and precious relics of this island's past. We crafted our story in haste, so the people inside it have very little 'past' or 'history'. Have you noticed no one in Tazmily can talk about things from 100 or 1000 years ago? In truth, we HAD wanted to create an entire plethora of myths and legends...but our story was made in such a hurry that we weren't able to. It's a real shame.
"I'm sure that much of what I'm saying, you'd rather not hear, but it's the truth. Have you listened to everything so far?"
Lucas nods before giving Kumatora and Dinah each a squeeze of a hug.
"Have you committed everything so far to memory, Mr. Stinkbug?" Leder checks again.

The stinkbug hops his confirmation.
