Minister

This guide covers the branch where Lilian becomes the "attendant maid" of the touring noble Balgo (called "the Minister") and the party travels to the Royal Capital with his caravan. It splits off from the Merchant Route at Silverleaf Forest and ends in a bad ending.

Every step below is checked against the game's own event data. The flag numbers in italics (for example, switch #261) are the internal game flags. You do not need them to play. They are listed so the route can be verified and so advanced readers can cross-check it.

Name	Role
Kaius	The player character
Lilian	The heroine
Craig	The traveling merchant; arranges the deal with Balgo
Balgo	A high-ranking noble ("the Minister"), touring the border

Part 1 — Getting on the Route

You must first be on the Merchant Route and reach Silverleaf Forest (see the Merchant Route guide, Parts 1–2). The split happens at Craig's Cabin on Night 2.

Step 1. Craig's "method"

At Craig's Cabin (Map 137), on Silverleaf Forest Night 2, talk to Craig (event 5). He explains his plan for getting south: Lilian will serve as the "attendant maid" to the noble Balgo, who is staying at the Dawn Inn. Craig insists on "coaching" Lilian in "noble etiquette" first, that night, alone with her.

Both dialogue choices lead to the same result — Lilian decides to go through with it, because the Sealed Scroll from Selas has to reach the capital.

Step 2. Lilian leaves

The next morning Lilian goes with Craig to meet Balgo. That night she slips away to Balgo's room on her own. Return to the cabin and read what she left on the table — a farewell letter and her faded red hair ribbon (Map 137, event 20).

This is the point of no return for the Minister Route.

The game marks it with switch #261 (Lilian as maid).

From here you follow Balgo's caravan toward the Royal Capital.

How This Guide Was Checked

• Fully traced from the game data: the split point at Craig's Cabin (switch #261 from Map 137 event 20); the gate switch and triggering event for every scene; the bad-ending location.
• Not yet read line by line: the spoken dialogue inside each scene, the exact caravan travel order between Silverleaf Forest and Donghae Port, and the precise trigger for scene 1-4 ("A Real Kitten").
