0,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_00","With a maiden's virtue hanging in the balance, Hildibrand would hasten back to Costa del Sol."
1,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_01","His vaunted powers of deduction having afforded him no particular insight into the identity of the phantom thief, Hildibrand is nonetheless infinitely confident that he is fully prepared for the final confrontation with his foe. Return to Costa del Sol and see if Inspector Briardien's investigation has proved more fruitful."
2,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_02","With the phantom thief still on the loose and the banquet about to begin, Inspector Briardien has determined that it is too dangerous to allow Miss Arabella to appear before the crowd at the ceremony. Obtain a set of servant's garb from the Gegeruju Manor retainer that may serve as a suitable disguise for the maiden. In the meantime, Hildibrand has been charged with creating a diversion to distract Vannes from the absence of his betrothed."
3,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_03","The Gegeruju Manor retainer furnishes you with a set of nondescript garb. Deliver it to Lady Arabella outside Costa del Sol, that she might safely hide herself from the thief's eye."
4,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_04","At Inspector Briardien's behest, Miss Arabella changes into the clothes you procured, disguising herself as a servant. He bids you deliver the exquisite garment the maiden had previously been wearing to Hildibrand, that it might avail him in his task somehow."
5,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_05","Though not entirely sure what he is meant to do with the dress you entrusted to him, Hildibrand nevertheless assures you that he has the situation under control, and encourages you to find a seat from which to enjoy the festivities."
6,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_06","Hildibrand's flawless plan, in a nutshell, involved donning the dress and presenting himself as the lapis maiden. When Vannes reacts with utter shock, Hildibrand concludes that he is the phantom thief in disguise, as the true Vannes─who had never before seen Miss Arabella's face─would never have suspected that aught was amiss. His logic failing to find a sympathetic ear, Hildibrand is immediately seized by the Brass Blades of the Gerbera.
No sooner does this happen than does Vannes recognize Arabella amidst the crowd and grab her by the hand. Inspector Briardien recognizes the glove on Vannes's right hand, but before he can take action, the thief reveals himself in a puff of smoke, summoning the vicious Mandragoras to protect him. A close encounter with Hildibrand sends the rogue vegetables fleeing in terror, but the thief has already made off with his treasure─not the maiden herself, but the neckpiece she wore.
As Miss Arabella, now free from her betrothal to Vannes, breathes a sigh of relief, a flying card of challenge buries itself in Hildibrand's pate, writ “I shall come to claim the victor's spoils.” Though Inspector Briardien finally deduces that the thief and the mad bombardier who almost claimed his life are not one and the same, the two inspectors nevertheless vow that the thief has stolen his last treasure."

6,"TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_06","Hildibrand's flawless plan, in a nutshell, involved donning the dress and presenting himself as the lapis maiden. When Vannes reacts with utter shock, Hildibrand concludes that he is the phantom thief in disguise, as the true Vannes─who had never before seen Miss Arabella's face─would never have suspected that aught was amiss. His logic failing to find a sympathetic ear, Hildibrand is immediately seized by the Brass Blades of the Gerbera.
No sooner does this happen than does Vannes recognize Arabella amidst the crowd and grab her by the hand. Inspector Briardien recognizes the glove on Vannes's right hand, but before he can take action, the thief reveals himself in a puff of smoke, summoning the vicious Mandragoras to protect him. A close encounter with Hildibrand sends the rogue vegetables fleeing in terror, but the thief has already made off with his treasure─not the maiden herself, but the neckpiece she wore.
As Miss Arabella, now free from her betrothal to Vannes, breathes a sigh of relief, a flying card of challenge buries itself in Hildibrand's pate, writ “I shall come to claim the victor's spoils.” Though Inspector Briardien finally deduces that the thief and the mad bombardier who almost claimed his life are not one and the same, the two inspectors nevertheless vow that the thief has stolen his last treasure."

Return to Costa del Sol and see if Inspector Briardien's investigation has proved more fruitful.
6 2 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SEQ_02 With the phantom thief still on the loose and the banquet about to begin, Inspector Briardien has determined that it is too dangerous to allow Miss Arabella to appear before the crowd at the ceremony.

Inspector Briardien recognizes the glove on Vannes's right hand, but before he can take action, the thief reveals himself in a puff of smoke, summoning the vicious Mandragoras to protect him. A close encounter with Hildibrand sends the rogue vegetables fleeing in terror, but the thief has already made off with his treasure─not the maiden herself, but the neckpiece she wore. As Miss Arabella, now free from her betrothal to Vannes, breathes a sigh of relief, a flying card of challenge buries itself in Hildibrand's pate, writ “I shall come to claim the victor's spoils.” Though Inspector Briardien finally deduces that the thief and the mad bombardier who almost claimed his life are not one and the same, the two inspectors nevertheless vow that the thief has stolen his last treasure.

55 51 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_003 No doubt it shall prove as invaluable in your adventures as it has in my investigations─or failing that, serve to entertain you when you have nothing better to do.

58 54 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_015 I must return to the estate to prepare for the banquet. Till we meet again, friend.
59 55 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_030 Inspector Briardien! I have seen to the maiden's safety─Miss Arabella will be along soon. How fares your investigation?
60 56 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_031 I have canvassed the grounds, but none of the guests are concealing their hands. How can this be!? The thief must be <Emphasis>somewhere</Emphasis>!
61 57 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_MOB01441_000_032 Miss Arabella just left her estate, I hear. I suppose we'll find out soon enough if her beauty is truly a match for our own. Tee hee!
62 58 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_033 There's no time. Without the thief in custody, we cannot risk allowing Miss Arabella to take the stage.
63 59 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ELLIE_000_034 B-But, Inspector, Vannes and his family will not take kindly to his betrothed's absence.
64 60 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_035 Hmph! That is nothing of my concern. Besides, doubtless the <Emphasis>inspector</Emphasis> here will think of something.
65 61 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_036 M-Me? What do you propose!?
66 62 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_037 You're the expert at creating diversions. Can't you just knock something over, blow something up, or the like? You know─like you <Emphasis>always</Emphasis> do?
67 63 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_038 Inspector Briardien! I knew the day would come that you recognized my many talents! Worry not about Master Vannes! Yes, for the sake of the maiden, a gentleman will do what must needs be done!
68 64 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_039 ...The poor sop lacks even the wits to know when he's being insulted. Now, to the task at hand. We must find a way to conceal Miss Arabella's true identity.
69 65 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ELLIE_000_040 Not far from here are the servants' quarters. There should be a change of clothes lying about.
70 66 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_041 ...Perfect. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Find some suitably ordinary garb and deliver it to Miss Arabella outside the gates. I shall proceed with the investigation.
71 67 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_050 Leave the betrothed and his family to me, my friend! Master Vannes will not suspect for a moment that aught is amiss!

75 71 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SERVANT01441_000_075 Has the lapis maiden arrived yet? I simply must look upon her beauty for myself!
76 72 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_100 Greetings, friend. Oh? What's this you have for me?
77 73 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_110 Servant's garb...? But why?
78 74 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_111 Miss Arabella. With the thief still at large, the risk of letting you be seen is too great. Change into those clothes and promise that you will not leave my sight.
79 75 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_112 B-But the ceremony! Father will be furious! And Lord Vannes...
80 76 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_113 We are dealing with a man who tried to blast me to the heavens...and almost succeeded. We cannot exercise enough caution. As for the ceremony, I have entrusted the matter to a certain gentleman. You need only concern yourself with your own safety.
81 77 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_LEWENHART_000_114 We should do as the inspector says, Miss Arabella. Your life is more important than this marriage, or whatever profits your father stands to gain from it.
82 78 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_115 Lewen, if Father heard you say such things...
83 79 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_LEWENHART_000_116 ...I should have said them long ago. By not doing so, I have put your life in danger. But besides, we have not one, but two skilled inspectors on the case. It will not be long until the fiend is brought to justice.
84 80 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_117 ...Very well. I shall retreat to the carriage. Pray wait for me here.
85 81 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_118 My apologies for the delay. What should I do with my banquet dress, Inspector?
86 82 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_119 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Bring Miss Arabella's dress to that bumbling inspector. I dare not speculate as to how he intends to see to his task, but I would imagine he requires all the help he can get. Now, let us return before the festivities begin.
87 83 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_125 You will not elude me this time, fiend...
88 84 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_150 Ah, you return! Me? I was in the act of formulating a master plan to distract Master Vannes at the ceremony. Is there aught I might do for you?
89 85 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_155 Why, this is...Miss Arabella's dress? I must admit to some confusion as to what to do with it... But worry not! I shall take it into safekeeping!
90 86 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_156 And with that, I must attend to Master Vannes before the ceremony begins.
91 87 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_157 Worry not, friend! I assure you that Inspector Briardien and I have the situation entirely under control! Why not find yourself a seat and enjoy the festivities?
92 88 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_300 Curses! How am I supposed to find my man with all these people milling about!?
93 89 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_YALTONOLTO_000_301 Friends...family...business associates. 'Tis an honor and a pleasure to welcome one and all to Costa del Sol for today's feast, co–hosted by the Brugaire Consortium and the East Aldenard Trading Company.
94 90 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_SAINANA_000_302 We trust that you've been enjoying fine food, fine spirits, and profitable conversation.
95 91 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_MOB01441_000_303 The lapis maiden! If even half the tales of her beauty are true, Vannes is the luckiest bastard in the realm!
96 92 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_MORGANT_000_304 Yalto Nolto, Sainana...honored guests. It's a great pleasure to announce the betrothal of my son, Vannes─future chair of the Brugaire Consortium─to Arabella, daughter of Master Guguremu of the East Aldenard Tradin' Company.
97 93 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_MORGANT_000_305 The couple would exchange their eternal vows 'ere today, that the 'appiness that is theirs may usher in a new era of prosperity for one and all.
98 94 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_MORGANT_000_306 Ladies and gentlemen, may I present my son's lovely bride! The lapis maiden, whose beauty minstrels will sing of for ages to come!

100 96 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_308 She's... She's beautiful!
101 97 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_VANNES_000_309 Hmph! Were the rabble expecting otherwise? She is <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> bride, after all.
102 98 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_VANNES_000_310 Milady. They say your beauty transcends even the boundaries of time. When we are wed, you will want for nothing. Pray give your hand unto me.
103 99 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_311 (-Hildibella-)My sun and stars! Yes, yes─a thousand times yes! I am yours, and shall be forevermore!

106 102 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_314 Fear not, ladies and gentlemen, for Miss Arabella is safe and sound! I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire, have but assumed the maiden's appearance to ensnare the vile fiend who would take aim at her life!
107 103 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_315 The fiend who now lies defenselessly before me! The game is up, Vannes! Or shall I call you by another name...the thief of many faces!

109 105 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_VANNES_000_317 M-Me, the thief!? Are you mad?
110 106 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_318 It appears that my masterful deductions have proved beyond the grasp of your mind. Very well! Allow me to elucidate.
111 107 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_319 While there is not a soul in the realm who has not heard the tales of Miss Arabella's beauty, there are but two men here in Costa del Sol who had gazed upon her lovely visage before today─her father, Guguremu, and her steward, Lewenhart.
112 108 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_320 As you yourself admitted on multiple occasions, Master Vannes, you were to have your first glimpse of your bride-to-be today. Considered in this light, would you not say your reaction upon seeing my face was most...unnatural?
113 109 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_321 Who else could see through my ingenious disguise? Who could know at a glance that I was not the fair maiden!? None save you─ye of a thousand faces!

116 112 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_VANNES_000_324 Arabella? Oh, thank the gods you're safe! Come with me quickly─there's a dangerous madman about!
117 113 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_325 A glove on his right hand! Could it be...!?
118 114 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_AMANYFACEDPHANTOMTHIEF_000_326 Ahahaha! The man is a fool, but it would have behooved you to listen to him. Alas, you did not, and what is yours is now mine.
119 115 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_MOB201441_000_327 Th-That's the thief! Stop wasting your time with that imbecile and arrest him!
120 116 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_328 You came all this way...for me? You love me! You really, <Emphasis>really</Emphasis> love me!
121 117 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_AMANYFACEDPHANTOMTHIEF_000_329 The attention is most flattering, but I have taken what I came for, and now I must away. Milords, miladies─till we meet again!
122 118 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ELLIE_000_330 I hear that the real Vannes was found bound and gagged in a storage room. Truly, Miss Arabella, I am sorry...
123 119 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_331 For what, milady? The banquet was more exciting than I ever could have hoped for. Vannes and his father were furious, of course, and our marriage has been called off.
124 120 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ARABELLA_000_332 ...But perhaps it is for the best. I would find my own way to make Father happy, by living my life as I would live it. It is you, Inspector Hildibrand, who taught me this lesson.
125 121 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ELLIE_000_333 For the love of the gods, somebody find him a change of clothes.
126 122 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_ELLIE_100_333 But one thing still puzzles me. The thief's challenge said he would steal the lapis maiden's virtue. Yet in the end, he took only her neckpiece...
127 123 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_LEWENHART_000_334 Now that you mention it, Master Guguremu told me about the clasp when it first arrived. Engraved with the mark of the sun goddess, it is one of the most treasured pieces from the Brugaire collection, known by many as “Azeyma's Virtue”...
128 124 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_335 The maiden's virtue, indeed. When the next challenge comes, we must take extra care to read between the lines.
129 125 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_336 Over here, Inspector! It says, er...“Made you look!”
130 126 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_337 The fiend plays us for fools! Give that to me at once!
131 127 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_338 “When next we meet, I shall come to claim the victor's spoils.” ...Hmph, another riddle.
132 128 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_339 If nothing else, it appears the thief has abandoned any foolish notions of my assassination. Still, we must ever be on guard. The fiend attempted murder once─he may very well do so again.
133 129 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_340 V-Verily, Inspector! I must agree! One can never be too wary when dealing with a murderer!
134 130 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_BRIARDIEN_000_341 Hear me, man of a thousand faces. You sealed your fate when you called me out by name. Mark my words: when next we meet, you will be mine.
135 131 TEXT_CHRHDB304_01441_HILDIBRAND_000_342 Yes, it was the phantom thief who was to blame for that bomb! Truly, verily, indubitably the phantom thief! Most certainly! Hahaha! Haha... Ha... Ha...?
