Chapter 6 Tristesse: Baroque Castle

If I surrender unconditionally to Forte, it should be safe for you to stay in Baroque. Once I offer myself directly to Forte, that should satisfy them. They most likely won't make any attempt to invade Baroque. - Prince Crescendo

This parting will be forever.- Prince Crescendo

If they make it to Forte, they have no chance. Count Waltz isn't very sympathetic. - Count Waltz

Chapter 6 Tristesse: Cello Tree

It's certainly been a long time, hasn't it? I can't quite remember. How many years has it been since I last saw you? It feels like it could have been only yesterday. But I suppose it also could have been hundreds of years ago. - Grandma

Not somewhere, my dear. We've met before right here, in this very place. Because, you're the only person who can draw a fortune here. - Grandma

And because you've arrived here right on time, I guess that means you didn't have any particular trouble this time either. - Grandma

Don't tell me it's your job to just wait here for Polka to show up. - Allegretto

You see my job is to witness whether or not she ties that fortune to the sacred tree. - Grandma

It's real name is the Cello Tree. It has stood on this land for thousands and thousands of years. For the tree, it's as if time is standing still. For it never grows any bigger and it also never withers. And that is why the people who live in this land have come to call it the sacred tree. They think it is blessed, because it doesn't age. - Grandma

It's because you don't know what you're going to get before you draw, that you can have hope for the future. - Polka

Beat, I don't think she' going to come even if you shout. She doesn't have a reason to be here anymore. - Polka

Really? Oh, well, I wouldn't worry about it. It's just a scrap of paper after all. - Falsetto
