 Elesis: Long time no see, Penensio. Good work while I was gone. Penensio: Captain?! I did not expect to see you here. Are you returning for good?- Elesis: ... What's up with your reaction? Did you get my message? I told you to hurry back to Velder.
- Penensio: Did something happen? Wait, we'll continue our discussion inside.
 Raven: Did they not receive the message at all? It's a good thing we came by.
- (MURMUR MURMUR)
 Eve: It's not as bad as Velder, but the atmosphere here is grim. Aisha: It wasn't like this before... but they really lost their spirit. It's usually much livelier and bright. Elsword: Have you been here before?- Aisha: Yup. Senace has a longer history than Velder, so they have a lot of relics that are highly valuable.
- Aisha: Plus, you usually have to stop by Hamel when you are traveling in between Lurensia and Fluone. That's why you can see all sorts of goods from all over, including Velder and Sander.
- Aisha: I heard the Landar family kept a close relation with the last ruler of Hamel, Lord Rod Gess Rod Ross, when he was alive... But I don't really know very well.
 Rena: Who is the ruler now?- Aisha: If nothing extreme happened, I believe his son took over. I did hear there was a controversy in selecting the new ruler.
- Penensio: They said Lord Rod Ross was not fit to rule, as he is a 'free spirit' who is not tied down to rules and regulation.
- Raven: ... He's a scoundrel.
- Penensio: But after the second crisis, he is doing his part in bringing peace to Hamel.
- Penensio: He makes speeches at the square and encourage the civilians with an artistic performance of fighting against demons.
- Penensio: He is planning on holding a book reading ceremony today, to console everyone's heavy heart.
- Elsword: None of that actually helps when fighting against demons... Is the reception positive?
- Penensio: I can't say it's positive... But I'd much rather this than him actually attempting to command an army.
- Penensio: He does participate in every strategy meeting, but he's not exactly gifted in this area...
- Elesis: You must have gone through a lot, Penensio.
- Rena: Yes, in more ways than one.
- Penensio: We arrived at the strategy room. We've covered what happened in Hamel, can you tell me what happened in Velder?
- Penensio: Even Velder was attacked by demons... It's just as you feared, captain. Are we still not aware of whether or not his Majesty survived the attack?
- Elesis: Yes. They were ready for it. It will take some time before Velder settles down.
- Penensio: That's why you asked us to return. But the situation at Hamel is no good.
- Penensio: Though we Red Kngihts joined the fight, we barely managed to turn the tide from devastating to less favorable.
- Elesis: Ugh, what a pain... Report what happened in Hamel up to this point.
- Penensio: Yes. But first, can I ask others to leave the room?
- (SLAM!)
 Hamel Guard: Lieutenant! The Black Armored Knight is back in Resiam Outskirts!- Penensio: What! Captain, please wait.
- Hamel Guard: The Seiker heir left alone when he heard the news!
- Penensio: Alone? He's not fully recovered from his last battle! This is bad. We must get moving at once. Inform the Red Knights!
- Elesis: Are the Red Knights currently in battle? I'll go then. That will be faster.
- Penensio: Wait, captain. I must tell you something.
- Elesis: Right now? ... It must be important.
- Elsword: If you have to talk, we can go instead.
- Elesis: Thanks, Elsword.
