Later in the game, if you try to head into an area you don't belong in yet, you might find it blanketed in miasma so dense that Sorey can barely keep himself walking straight, accompanied by some extremely ominous music. Aside from slowing your movement speed to a crawl outside of battle, it cripples you in battle to the point of practically ensuring your demise. If that's not enough to deter you, and you somehow to manage to sneak past/defeat any normal enemies you encounter, [[BeefGate you'll eventually find your path completely blocked by extremely overpowered monsters you'll never realistically be able to defeat]]. Alternatively, you might even end up running into [[spoiler: [[BigBad Heldalf]]]] instead, with [[HopelessBossFight obvious results]] if you're foolish enough to try to get past him in your weakened state. But if, against all odds, you actually manage to win? You unlock a BadEnding.

However, he's given the name of the first prince instead.

In the light novel, after finding out his sister is unknowingly headed into the path of the soldiers, [[spoiler:Michael]] expresses fear for what could happen to a woman on her own, and is proven right when one of the commanders attempts to rape her.
