[Video, Filtered to VIers he knows are there (Sabin, Locke, Terra) and Rasler and Ashe]

[Techno-king has figured out how to filter things very quickly (once he started listening to the moogles). So now he's making a limited broadcast, and it's clear he's not very happy, to say the least. He's in South Figaro, having reached it by airship-]

[-only to have people react in shock to his arrival. Those from his world, a few shopkeepers and the like that he knows personally, are very, very surprised to see him debark from an airship. And they tell him why.]

Why am I hearing about already being inside the castle when I've only just arrived?

Forgive me; I simply want to ensure Figaro is returned to her rightful King, no less. ... Just as I would wish the same for Dalmasca.

[Ashe's eyes lower - she understands his sentiment all too well, having had to attain proof of her own birthright before reclaiming Dalmasca's throne. She then studies the coin, etching the image in her mind. If this is the proof Sabin has in mind, then this may well be the true Edgar.]

You say you have arrived... I must ask for your patience a little longer. Your words I shall relay to Sabin, should your ownership of this coin aid in finally resolving this situation.

I understand people wanting to be sure, but the fact that this is necessary to begin with...

[From her words and expression, Edgar can tell that she's unfortunately familiar with the situation in some shape or form, so he ends it there.]

I don't want to tip the game too soon - I'll wait in the inn for confirmation from you, your husband, my brother, or our friends, and I'll make my way to the castle only once you're all convinced. Whoever this is, he needs to be taken care of.

It is the nature of this world that the concept of the impossible is defied.

Once we have questioned the other Lord Edgar in equal measure, learned which of you is genuine, you have my word we shall inform you. Regardless of how long doing so takes, we must be certain before our oath can be fulfilled.

Lady Ashelia, please be careful. This impostor has designs on Figaro - and to fool my friends and brother, his disguise must be good. Please don't let him believe you think him to be anyone other than who he claims to be, or something may happen to you. I don't want your son to have his mother suffer.

I...

[The princess is quiet, solemn, those last words playing over in Ashe's mind. After a moment, she looks to this Edgar once more, nodding once. Though she can't explain why, something makes her believe him. Perhaps it's because he isn't rushing in, seems genuinely concerned for his kingdom, just as a ruler should be.]

I will do as you ask.

[He may not have wanted to be a ruler, but he definitely became one.]

Thank you. And ask your husband to guard himself as well.
