| King Steve | Well done, boys. Princess Sara tells me that you, more or less, rescued her. I'll have to take her word on that... Then again I have to take her word that I have a daughter named Sara and that she is her. |
| Sara | Oh dad. |
| King Steve | Nevertheless, I'm sure you boys are really looking forward to your ridiculously extravagant reward, am I right? |
| Thief | Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes! |
| Red Mage | |
| Fighter | |
| Black Mage | |
| King Steve | Well have I got a reward for you! It's going to take all the money in the treasury to do it, but you guys deserve it! |
| Cut to the Cornerian Channel, with a bridge across it. | |
| King Steve | I'll build a bridge! we've been meaning to do it for ages, but now we've got a good excuse! |
| Black Mage | What. |
| King Steve | A bridge to Prontera. it's about time, really, we've been neighbors with them for 500 years now and I've never dropped by to say hello. |
| Sara | Dad, you haven't been to Prontera because 500 years ago king Joe exiled everyone whose name started with the letter "P", or "P-ans." With nowhere to go, they swam the Cornernian Channel, where many of them died, and then formed the Kingdom of Pronterra. A bridge has never been built because they hate us and they'd take it as an insult to those who died in that exodus. |
| King Steve | Ohhhh, so that's where we get the famous Cornerian curse. Ahem: "I hope you drown where you're a P-an." |
| Sara | No, Dad. I'm afraid that the curse you're thinking of has a much more literal and much less metaphorical history attached to it. |
| Fighter | I don't get it. Where would I be European? I was born here. |
| Black Mage | Okay, but seriously, that whole bridge thing was just a joke... right? |
