I don't know what would become of you had Prince Belial not been there....

....Weeeell?

Why can't it move?

No, the thing is...

We are still unable to break past the Pilot authentication system, so it's seems unlikely that it will...

B...But, no matter what, the Noah Parts are still an unknown existence to us...

We don't know what would happen if we just fumble around with it blindly...

I'll give you three days...

If it's not done by then, then off to the undercity with you.

....I'm no princess anymore...

Right now, I am simply a Lowtowner...

Hah... Fine with me, if you insist....

I'm just going along with this engagement for the alliance anyway.

From a Lowtowner, formally become this kingdom's princess.

...Oh, and don't even think of something silly like escaping again, all right...?

Whether that boy lives or dies is entirely up to me.

From now on, you ought to consider fixing your attitude when you're talking to me.

I'll leave you for now, my lovely princess.

My Noah Parts is out of batteries again, so be sure to charge it up properly, okay?

Hopper...

Today... I come to bid you farewell...

I...

I am going to be engaged to Prince Belial, to ensure the alliance between the Lotus Kingdom and the Water Lily Kingdom.....

I am absolutely against it...

That is why I ran to Lowtown that day....

But, I see now, that what I did has caused people around me a lot of trouble.

I see, that I need to grow up and do my obligation as a princess.

I am sorry, for involving you in this because of my selfishness...

It's true...

If you did not jump down to our place in the beginning...

Then Rotch wouldn't have to die...

I am really sorry...

Farewell...

Hopper....

Cough... I heard from Erelim...

You caused a big bloody mess chasing after the princess of Water Lily... Cough...

It will be a great pain to us if you lost us this engagement...

Uuuuughhhhh.... I don't get you, you bloody old fool.

Why do we even need this engagement....?

We have the Noah Parts.

Once we get our hands on that Electric bitch, we will have an unlimited source of energy for the Noah Parts.

Then, we can crush Water Lily with no effort.

Y...You....!

Well, try to go in peace, you dotard...

I am the king now.

You are a very sharp-minded....outstanding boy...

As I am already afraid of you...

And, two days later....

You have released Hopper...

As promised...?

...Of course....

I even told him that it was all thanks to you.

I've also reminded him to never involved himself in the matter of Hightown again.

As soon as he was released, he fled straight back to Lowtown without even looking back!

Huh...? But this is what the people want, is it not...?

Well, we still need something for the lower masses who can't participate in my engagement ceremony to enjoy...

And isn't this just the right event for them...?
