Int. Emperor's Palace - Day.
Faythe:
Father, I implore you, don't believe a word.
He is not the enemy, that is just absurd.
You may see his talent as some kind of threat.
But I knew we were meant to be from the day we met.
Give us both a chance for a new beginning.
Nothing would mean more to me.
He is just a man.
Can't you show him mercy?
Sympathy and strength go hand in hand.
Nafaryus:
This man's a fraud and a hoax, he'll only shatter your hopes.
Saddest of all is to watch how you fall for this person who you hardly know.
Faythe:
Ignorant and stubborn, you have no respect.
Not just for your flesh and blood, but all who you protect.
Listen without judgment, keep an open mind.
If you cannot see the truth, you're the one who's blind.
We don't stand a chance, that is his opinion.
Mother, can you talk to him?
Arabelle:
Try to understand how they must be feeling.
Misery's to know what might have been.
Nafaryus:
Why would I ever concede to listen to this fool.
How can you be so naive?
You must be living in a world of make-believe.
Do you really think this charlatan is who he claims to be?
Arabelle:
Not long ago there was a time and place,
you too possessed the same desires as Faythe.
You knew how it felt to feel invisible.
Music calmed your soul, just like a drug.
Remember Bug?
Faythe:
Father is it true, Bug was always you?
Finally I can reveal, how music makes me feel.
Now you understand Why I was hiding!
This changes everything!
Nafaryus:
I will grant the chance for a new beginning.
In the end, the final word rests with me.
Faythe:
Father, I implore you, don't believe a word.
He is not the enemy, that is just absurd.
You may see his talent as some kind of threat.
But I knew we were meant to be from the day we met.
Give us both a chance for a new beginning.
