Azzy gets a history lesson about the Underground from residents of the castle. She can also read Torben's journal for extra lore if she manages to find the key somewhere. Just before reaching the Throne Room, Kokoro stops Azzy in the Judgement Hall to reflect on the adventure and question if she's ready to face the King. After, they walk into the Throne Room to meet King Drazalor for the final fight.
Drazalor is surprised to see Azzy come of her own volition and not taken in by guards. Admitting he's not entirely ready, he gives Azzy time to finish anything she wants to do before they fight. When it comes time to fight, they meet in the Barrier room, with Puppy popping up to watch the fight unfold. After a long fight, Drazalor is weakened and laments how close he was to freeing the monsters. The fight ends with Kokoro prompting Azzy to either say nothing or ask if there's another way.
Just when things were starting to look up.
