Cronos was following behind, slightly struggling to do so.
“Don’t worry about me, just go on ahead”

The royal figure smiled.
“My pleasure”

Hinata nodded. She set Kohaku down and straightened her jacket.
"You're very kind."

Tolkalee waited for him to catch up before going on. "I don't leave people behind," he said without looking at Cronos.

The royal figure smiled a little more, he seemed to enjoy something. He turned to Adara. “…and who may you be?” He asked while Aisen and Matthew were still kneeling down.

Cronos finally got to the point where he was fine on his own. He walked up to the panel and pressed something, taking Tolkalee and himself back to the Royal Graveyard.

Tolkalee was walking silently, his leather boots making no sound on the stone floor. His hand went do to his dagger, just to make sure it was there. He was in no pain anymore, as most of his wounds had healed. He'd found that while meditating he healed faster, and he'd been meditating all night, so his wounds were almost fully healed now.

As soon as Cronos exited the Graveyard, his eyes returned to his natural black color. He knelt down, having quite the headache. He looked around.
“What…what just happened?”

The sense of mostly confusion filled Cronos’ head. Questions emerged. Where the heck am I? How was I escorted here? Why do I feel so tired even though I didn’t feel like I moved the slightest limb…? he asked himself internally. He turned to Tolkalee.
“What happened when I fainted?”

"Aaaaand you have no clue what happened," Tolkalee sighed. "You just brought me to this place because someone wanted to talk with me. They talked with me for a bit then we came back here," Tolkalee explained. "You don't remember any of that?"

“First off, why the heck would I take you to the Graveyard. Second, who the hell wanted to see you? Finally, no, I don’t even remember taking you here” he answered all the questions in order and asked.

"Again, you told me that someone wanted to see me. This dude named Miller wanted to talk to me about my friends. Only problem with that is that for both your guys safety and theirs I can't give you very much info about them," Tolkalee explained.

“Lord Miller? Well that explains why I fell unconscious and still walked around like I was fine…” Cronos started. “He’s able to literally use us as Puppets so to speak. Casting a spell on us making us unconscious and have one of his four secretaries’ soul takeover from wherever they are. Not to mention that the secretaries are still conscious and active even when controlling someone…” he claimed ending the statement with a nervous tone.

The royal figure in the Arena turned back to the two Knights.
“You two there, please stand up” he ‘ordered’ them in the kindest tone.
Both Matthew and Aisen nodded and stood up, walking back to Hinata and Adara. Aisen walked to stand beside Adara while Matthew got Kohaku back and stood beside Hinata.

Loki looked at him and calmly asked "Have you seen or heard of an Alex Hyakuya?"

The royal figure thought about it for a moment.
“Alex…? I think I’ve seen one named that in one of the Royal Graveyard’s floor. Though I don’t remember whose floor was it…” he claimed.

Loki sighed "Can you point to that? I NEED to find him!"

Hinata, realizing she looked like crap, shrugged it off.

Ah, so he wasn't lying about what he could do, he was lying about what he would do, Tolkalee thought to himself. "Let's get back to the others. I don't want to stay here anymore."

The royal figure startled at Loki’s tone.
“I can actually take you there but promise me to not be that loud and obnoxious in front of the Marquesses on each floor… otherwise I can’t guarantee your safety. And before you tell me that you ‘can’t die’ or anything, getting trapped down here for eternity wouldn’t be fun either… understand?” The royal figure requested a quick answer.

Matthew turned to Hinata.
“I guess Aisen took you here?” He asked, petting Kohaku.

Cronos walked right beside him.
“To be honest, neither do I… two centuries gone by and I’m still down here…” he said without any sort of expression. He then realized something. “Uh, eh… I meant two decades! Two decades…” he ‘corrected’ himself.

"Yeup. We thought it would be best to try to find everyone. Again."

Tolkalee looked at him for a moment then shrugged it off. 'I meant I don't want to be at this graveyard anymore," he corrected himself.

loki nodded and became silent

Matthew smirked at what Hinata said. He turned to the royal figure and bowed once.
“Lord Harkin, please forgive our rudeness but we need to go find Knight Chris who is on the sixth floor…” he said in a firm but apologetic tone.
The royal figure smiled softly and nodded.
“No need to apologize Matthew, you may proceed with your mission” he said, smiling at Matthew then at Hinata.
“Thank you, my lord…” Matthew ended and bowed. He turned to Hinata. “Let’s go find that loose Scarecrow…” he said to her, walking to the panel on the wall.

Cronos smiled nervously.
“R-Right…” he sighed in slight relief and guided Tolkalee out of the Graveyard.

The royal figure in front of Loki nodded.
“Please follow me…” he said, guiding Loki down the hall while holding on tightly to his umbrella.

(oof)
Loki followed quietly

Hinata smiled and nodded goodbye to Lord Harkin. She turned and followed Matthew.

Taking a deep breathe as he walked, the royal figure maneuvered through the hall with ease.
Every door, every turn was done with perfection as if the layout of the building was imprinted in his mind.
Reaching a large hall, the royal figure turned to Loki. “So… what is your purpose of finding this Alex of yours?”

Tolkalee followed Cronos silently. Glancing back every so often to make sure they weren't being followed.

"he is a part of me and my family" Loki went on to explain he was her brother and half of her soul

Matthew saw that Hinata was right behind him. He pressed some buttons on the panel and they were transported to the 6th Floor of the Arena. Instead of finding Chris, they found another familiar figure. In the large room, golden strings went from one corner to another and it looked like a mess. A figure can be seen standing amidst the golden strings. Around the figure seemed to be… golden spiders? The figure walked out.
“Well, hi there. Pretty sure we’ve met each other before…” he said to Hinata. “And hello Matthew” turning his head to the Knight.
