They eventually reached Tia’s first destination: the Pellet Company building. Upon seeing the company, Tia was filled with anger. The workers were in a poor state, with Imperial Knights overseeing them coldly while workers struggled to clean up the mess. One worker even hurt himself on broken glass, and Tia felt a strong urge to fight back against the Imperial Knights. She remembers the beginnings of the Pellet Company, remembering when she, Clerivan, and Violet worked together to build it. She vowed to take control of the company again and make sure those responsible would pay. Afterward, Tia ordered the coachman to head toward the Imperial Palace for the meeting. The conference hall at the palace was already crowded with nobles eager to see the results of the day's discussions. The outcome of this meeting would determine who would represent the West: Angenas or Braun. At the entrance to the palace, the Lombardi carriage is stopped by Imperial Knights led by Ethan Klaus. Lambert Lombardi, the commander, mocks them and shows no fear even though his group is outnumbered. The Lombardi Knights are clearly stronger, and the Imperial Knights feel intimidated. Ethan insists on checking the carriage, suspecting that Clerivan Pellet is hiding inside to secretly attend the meeting (Yes they double checked the carriage. Once outside Lombardi mansion and other st palace entrance) Despite the tension, Tia who is inside the carriage, calmly allows them to inspect it.
