Synopsis

Seeing the young woman was out cold, the ghostly Knight decided to look for more intruders, floating towards the direction where the stranger initially came from. He never noticed the young woman’s eyes roll back down and stare after him. The actress got up and ran after ensuring he had left. There was nowhere to hide, though, and despite her best efforts, the guardian was able to easily locate her.

Cara begs him to spare her life, but he is adamant about protecting the honored dead. The young actress decided to fool him again, this time by posing as a [Princess] of Denmark. However, the lie she had woven out of the plot of Hamlet fell apart due to a significant difference between their worlds: gods existed here, but they have long been dead.

After asking her one last time, the young woman tells the [Knight] the one truth she has ever given him — that she has no idea how she got there but wants to return home immediately. This time, the Knight assured her that he would never use his blade to harm an innocent person. The young woman laughs before collapsing and fainting for real. Ser Dalius picks up the young woman and lays her on top of a coffin, pondering what to do next.
