The queen does not have the Holy Grail in her possession. And what's more, this location we are in now is merely a strange sacred land.

You are not seeking a castle, but a tower.

I haven't yet determined who or what is pulling the strings in all this, but I know we will find them at the tower.

It's been some time since we first registered her Spirit Origin, and we have a decent understanding of her personality by now.
[k]

＠Goredolf
She's a goddess, yes, but she's far more compassionate than most gods mages are familiar with.
[k]

＠Goredolf
It could be because she's originally from Scandinavia, or perhaps because she's originally from a Lostbelt. That, I can't say.

Still, if we read into all the ambiguous stuff she's been saying...
[k]

[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_71 1.5]

...it seems very likely to me that she hasn't simply gone mad with the power of the Holy Grail.
