Prologue
The secret organization known as the Mirror's Nest operated in the capital of the Robeslitt Federation. It had the unique purpose of preparing body doubles for notable figures, training them to be expert fighters. Despite the unity of the federation, such doubles were needed as the member states vyed for power behind the scenes.

Its leader was Altemus, a woman rumored to be of high blood. She too possessed remarkable combat skills, and surrpeticiously aided the revolutionaries who wanted to break up the federation. That someone such as her would request your help was considerably unusual, if only for the danger of leaking the details of internal affairs. To depend upon an outsider meant they were facing a dire situation.

The reason she wanted your power concerned one of the body doubles in her employ. After arriving at her hidden headquarters in Robeslitt, she shared more details about the problem. "The main principle of our operation is that just as shadow cannot exist without light, neither can our doubles exist without the original. When the light is extinguished, the shadow becomes swallowed in darkness. This is why each of our doubles are observed closely during the training process for signs if they will rebel at any point in the future. Now, we must confirm if the leader of the federation, Queen Mariella of Migaro, is the original or not, as soon as possible while hiding our movements."

From her words, you inferred a body double may had taken the place of the real queen without notification. "Mariella's double is known as Julienne. She was without a doubt our greatest creation, undefeated in all of her training bouts. However..."

Signs of this first emerged during a federation meeting in Migaro. She was to oversee the proceedings but spoke not a word, leaving it to her minister. He then announced the dissolution of the federation, a declaration similar to war. Although it was agreed the vote would be taken the next meeting, each country began making preparations for large-scale battle.

There was a body double from the Mirror's Nest also in attendance at the meeting in question, taking the place of a prince from a country on the outskirts who had recently given himself to debauchery and drunkenness. He had been the one to inform Altemus the queen of Migaro was not the true one, but assuredly Julienne.

Altemus immediately sent a letter to Julienne but received no response. The emissaries she sent to find her also never returned. This led everyone in the Mirror's Nest to assume the worst: an imitation had killed the original.

"Vericide, what we call it when a double murders the original, is the greatest taboo that can be committed by one belonging to the Mirror's Nest. Fortunately, there has been only one other case, and once all facts have been made clear, I will carry out the punishment myself." If a double belonging to the Mirror's Nest had killed the leader of the federation and instigated war amongst its members, then the Nest itself would also bear a significant portion of the responsibility.

"Sorry to impose, but I need you come with me to Migaro. Then, if we discover Julienne has taken the place of the queen, we levy her sentence..."
