Kings of Sparta was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.[1]
To reclaim the citizenship and their home, Kassandra met the Two Kings of Sparta, Archidamos and Pausanias.
Kassandra met Brasidas outside the palace of the two kings.
(If "What should I expect?" is chosen.)
Brasidas explained their rulership.
(If "Who is Pausanias?" is chosen.)
(If "Who is Archidamos?" is chosen.)
("I'm ready.")
Brasidas beckoned her to follow.
They entered. Kassandra spied two men in finery fighting, armed with spears and shields.
Brasidas pointed to the two men who were fighting. They were Kings Archidamos and Pausanias, the former of whom had knocked the other to the ground and held a spear to his throat.
Archidamos helped Pausanias to his feet, addressing the crowd.
Archidamos turned his attention to Brasidas.
Myrrine gave her a worried whisper.
Myrrine couldn't hide her pride in Kassandra behind her worried expression.
Kassandra said nothing and stepped forward to her mother's side.
Regardless, Archidamos demanded to know Kassandra's intentions.
Regardless, Pausanias proposed a remedy.
Kassandra lowered her gaze in silence.
Archidamos laughed.
Archidamos chuckled.
Kassandra rubbed her forehead.
Brasidas bowed and led the women out of the palace. Archidamos called the next matter to be brought forth.
That night, Kassandra, Myrrine, and Brasidas held council with each other at the formers' former home.
(If "Why did they send me to Boeotia?" is chosen.)
(If "What do you know about the Olympics?" is chosen.)
(If "Which king is the cultist?" is chosen.)
(Leave – "I've heard enough.")
Kassandra spoke to them both again before leaving.
Kassandra parted ways with them and set about completing her labors, while Brasidas and Myrrine departed together.
After a tense audience with the Kings of Sparta, Kassandra was given her tasks to make amends for her actions 17 years prior, and to restore Myrrine's claim to their lands.
