Tria Twilight, the younger sister of Carl and one among the princesses of the Twilight Empire is again a capture target, similar to Elda's. The player would have to save her to earn more affection points from Carl. The outco of the story depends on how it is woven, but Tria is a very peculiar character to deal with, and most players stay away from her.
The main reason for this is the curse that affects her, which brings misfortune into her life. It is so severe that she has her own distinct section to live in. In fact, this part about her is a closely guarded secret. The Empire even brought the Saintess of Razellia to see why such a curse affects her, but all they could derive was that Tria is cursed with a powerful curse that even the saintess isn't allowed to touch.
Tria's special curse also affects her surroundings, bringing bad luck to others. In the ga, I have seen several players experiencing bad luck after choosing Tria as a challenge. There was even a situation where a character died from drinking poison, which was actually ant for soone else!
That is just a small glimpse into the bad luck that can co into your life if you include Tria. However, it didn't affect due to Razellia's blessing that protects from all types of curses. Hence, I have the green light when I want to deal with her.
"So what's this about your sister?" I asked as Carl and I took a seat. My eyes focused on hers, and a mont of hesitation flashed through her eyes as she replied.
"She's sick. All the specialists were called in, but none can identify it. It seems her bad luck is acting up..."
"Bad luck?" I asked in an intrigued tone. Upon hearing my words, Carl took a deep breath and started to explain Tria's special condition. My expression turned from calm to surprise and finally to sympathy. A sense of disbelief filled my tone as I spoke.
"This... how can soone live like this?"
"Indeed, Tria is going through too much..." Carl added to my words. Unlike the rest of her siblings, Tria is directly linked to Carl, as they both have the sa mother. Carl cares deeply for Tria, sotis even risking her health and luck to be near her.
"I can't solve her luck, but I will be damned if I let her be sick," she spoke in a resolute tone, but the sadness in her eyes was ever-present. Seeing this, I remained quiet, my expression going through different angles, reflecting hesitation and doubt. I seed to be deep in thought and didn't answer. Carl caught onto this and looked at with questioning eyes.
"This sickness you spoke of, I might know what it might be," I said with so doubt. But my words were more than enough to bring back the spark in Carl's eyes.
"Really?!" she asked, zooming her face close to mine. Anticipation was ever-present. I gave her a wry smile and pushed her beautiful face away slightly as I spoke.
"Calm down. I can't agree to it until I hear more about the symptoms." Carl nodded at my words and began to speak in detail about Tria's sickness. I remained thoughtful during her talk, my expression becoming more and more sure as Carl continued. Finally, she stopped, and the thoughtful look on my face turned resolute.
"Um, I think it might be the sa sickness as the one I know of," I said as I finished speaking. Carl didn't answer imdiately. Her face seed to be in a daze for a second before becoming completely ice-cold. Carlia seed to have taken control as she looked at with her cold eyes while asking.
"Just how do you know about this sickness that even experts in the field of healing don't know?"
She asked with a chilly tone. I 'flinched' for a mont upon hearing her tone, my expression becoming serious as I asked her in a calm tone.
"Are you insinuating that I might be related to how your sister got sick?"
Seeing my expression turning bad, Carlia was unaffected as she spoke.
"My sister got mysteriously sick, then you appear at the perfect ti, knowing the only solution to save my sister. Forgive for finding it hard to believe that sothing slls fishy."
Her words caused my expression to relax, my eyes accepting her words as I spoke in a light tone.
"Indeed, if I were in your shoes, I would think the sa. But I wish to ask you a question. After all, you have seen for , does your heart really say that I am soone not to trust? Do you not see as a family?"
My words seed to strike a chord with Carlia as she turned silent for a mont. Her ice-cold expression displayed confusion as she asked .
"As a princess, I have dealt with several issues in my life. The play of control and manipulation always surrounds . Being vigilant is a key prerequisite for a ruler."
Her words seed to evade the answer, but I didn't accept it. My expression turned taut as I spoke to Carlia.
"Don't beat around the bush. You know . We have spent many nights battling in the night. Many nights you savored my cooking, a simple way I could kill or control you. We fought to the death in a city, and our relationship runs deep as senior and junior. After all this, do you still doubt ?"
This ti, the heaviness of my voice was present for Carlia to understand. The side of Carl that deals with all the filth of the political and deadly world stayed quiet for a mont. Her expression shifted between daze and control, undoubtedly Carl trying to regain control. I stayed silent, waiting for the final verdict.
Soon, the facial expression of Carlia softened. Her ice-cold expression finally thawed as she spoke.
"Yes."
A simple word it was, but it caused to close my eyes. A deep sigh left my mouth as I leaned into the chair. A tense silence lingered between us for a mont, broken by my opening my eyes and speaking in a tone that held no care.
"During my travels through the world, I ended up in a closed-off domain where people live cut off from the rest. It is there that I ca upon this peculiar sickness, one forgotten by the era of the world."
Just as Carlia opened her mouth to speak, I raised my hand to stop her, maintaining a detached gaze as I continued.
"The place is sealed off, and it can't be accessed without . I made an oath to keep that place a secret, but knowing about the life of this girl, I shall venture into that place and find the solution to help her overco her power."
My last words lingered in the air, and Carlia trembled before as I spoke.
"Yes, this is not a sickness. It's sothing that might help Tria. I will speak of it later. Right now, you don't have to worry about her. Her symptoms will fade soon. She will be alright until I find the solution."
After speaking up to this point, I stood up, my eyes on Carlia as I placed a casserole on the table.
"It's so sweets I made to cheer you up."
I opened it, revealing Carlia's and Carl's favorite type of biscuits.
"And as for how your sister might have got this peculiar problem, I have no idea. Just check with your palace. I will also inform you of the ti I shall leave to get the solution. So, good day, Princess."
With these final words, I started to leave the room, but I was interrupted by a call from behind.
"Wait! We didn't an it!"
I turned my eyes towards Carl, who was holding the sleeve of my shirt. I didn't react to the change as I spoke in an impassive tone.
"You both have the sa thought process and ideas. What Carlia feared, so did you. Please let go of my hand, Princess. I have things to do."
Slowly pushing away Carl while maintaining a polite look, I walked out of the room, leaving behind a shaken-up Carl and Carlia.
'Guess it's ti to deal with Marlene.'
I thought, with a happy hum, as I walked away.
