- Hamel command room, Chung argued for the previous failed operation. As he looked at the commander's face that looked as grim as his, Chung was resolved as he voiced out his beliefs.
 Chung: There was... no other option but to retreat with the numbers we had. That's why we need to bring more troops this time. Please consider it just once!- Even with Chung's conviction, the commander did not react. When the commander sighed without a word, Chung felt his resolution falter even without haven't to hear the response.
 Commander: Mssr Prince, you know as well as I do that area no longer holds any tactual significance. Yet, you insist we must go... Is it to save your father?- Chung: I....
- Commander: I understand how you feel. Sir Helputt was a great commander without a match in Senace. But everyone in that area already evacuated.
- Commander: It will waste the lives of men we already lack. I cannot in good conscience allow us to send any addition force. Forgive me.
- Chung was left speechless from the commander's pointed remarks and had to leave the command room. The commander's decision was very logical and without flaw.
- Chung understood, he really did, but could not help but feel his heart becoming heavy with burden.
- Chung: 'There's no time for this...'
- The reason why Chung was so anxious was due to a strange rumor that was recently circling around Hamel.
- A rumor that the Guardian of Hamel, White Colossus, Sir Helputt has been corrupted with demonic energy and has become a part of their forces.
- And the witness accounts of the Black Armored Knight where his father disappeared... Chung's head was messy full of all sorts of thoughts.
- Chung: 'I need to check with my own two eyes if that Black Armored Knight is really my father...'
- It was overwhelming just having to protect the people, and now he failed to persuade the commander to send for troops in an attempt to save his father. He felt like he wasn't able to do anything right, neither protecting Hamel nor saving his father, and felt his chest tighten from the prospect.
- Chung: Father wouldn't have had to worry about this...
- Chung held back his anxiety and raised his head, not even noticing his clenched fists.
- How did the saying go? If you don't do anything, then nothing will change? He was the one who was feeling most frustrated. That's why if he wanted this resolved, he needed to act himself.
- He needed to leave to save his father, and see this Black Armored Knight, alone if he has to. That was his conclusion.
- Chung: This is it. Where Black Armored Knight was sighted...
- Chung arrived at the abandoned residential area. People lived here not too long ago, but now it was in ruins. Only a dusty rag doll greeted Chung by the entrance.
- Chung stared at the doll when he felt a sudden chill down behind his neck and turned around. Surrounding Chung who stood in guard were demons.
- Chung: Demons...! They're still lingering around here! I will not let you run amok!
- Chung slowly advanced as he fought against the incoming demons. Whenever the sound of cannon balls echoed, a group of demons fell with a scream.
- When he took out the demon that was trying to ambush him from the back, that's when Chung saw him. The Black Armored Night.
- Chung: I found him, the Black Armored Knight...! I need to go closer!
- Civilian 1: Sir, Sir Knight...?
- As Chung tried to hurry his way, he heard a muffled voice. When Chung turned around in surprise, he saw people who looked like residents.
- Civilian 1: Sir Knight? You are a knight, right? Oh, thank goddess for her blessing! You're here to save us!
- Chung: Ah... Are you residents here? I heard everyone evacuated. What are you doing here?
- Civilian 1: W, we didn't manage to evacuate in time and ended up being stuck here. We were hiding away from demons and decided to come out when we saw you.
- Civilian 1: I thought we were done for... But it seems the goddess hasn't abandoned us yet! We can finally see our families again!
- Chung couldn't hide his alarm from the civilians' excited voices. I don't have time for this... I need to follow the Black Armored Knight...
- Chung bit his lips. Maybe Hamel Guards will come if I use the signal flare? The moment, Chung was swept by uncharacteristic temptation.
- Civilian 2: Aaack!!! D, demons are still here! They're coming this way!
- The demons noticed Chung and the others and were stomping closer at a fast pace.
- Noticing Chung's hesitant demeanor, one of the residents held on to Chung's arm and almost whimpered.
- Civilian 1: Sir Knight, please don't abandon us...
- It was like a blow to the head. Chung realized how shameful his thoughts were and clenched his eyes, and was now more determined.
- Chung: I'm sorry. Now wasn't the time to... Stand back! I will keep you safe.
- Chung fixed his grip on the Destroyer. Click, boom! After loading, the signal flare shot up to the sky and Chung shouted to get all the demons to focus on him.
- Chung: This way, you damn demons!!!
- Chung leapt across the field, and fought until the Hamel Guards arrived.
- Chung: I apologize for acting on my own.
- Commander: No, Mssr Prince. It was my mistake. We were able to save the missing people thanks to your help. You held off on your own for a very long time, very impressive.
- Chung lowered his head, still in his Freitunier after the fierce battle. The operations commander shook his head and commended his efforts, but Chung did not feel comfortable.
- Chung exited the command room, walking with heavier feet than usual.
- Chung: As the heir to the Seiker family, nothing should have mattered more than guarding Hamel... Yet I almost overlooked what was most important due to my purpose. It's shameful...
- Chung: Yes, it's important to find where Father is, but I should never turn my eye away from my responsibility...
- Chung: ... But... Does that mean saving Father can never be the priority? If I must choose between the two, what should I choose?
- Chung: ... Father...
