This line actually marks my first epiphany in the world of games: I finally realized what the word 'dungeon' actually meant, outside of the meaning generally used in JRPGs.
And this is a really concise way to set things straight; it's funny to see Claude arguing with a (blue-haired) kid. And for the last time, he's got cat ears, for God's sake! Why doesn't anyone notice it?!... the castle's underground research facility! Here's the king (very sorry that you can only see his back) and a family of scientists with hair colour corresponding to the three primary colours, which confirms that the kid isn't their biological son (... huh? What cat ears?).
Claude overhears some bits of this discussion between the king of Lacour and the scientists, but is caught red-handed by a guard; he tries to justify his position, but the kid, who seems the most concerned about the matter, doesn't seem to have any sympathy for him (later on we'll learn that it's actually the king who, while not talking much, has gathered the most amount of doubts and suspicions about Claude). Leon Geeste, this being the kid's name, is a prodigy child, and the genius behind the creation of the ultimate war machine: the Lacour Hope, i.e. a particle cannon which can destroy small islands (there are none on Expel though, how could he tell... oh, I get it, he destroyed all of them during tests!).
Leon, I was saying, may be a genius, but surely he can't keep his mouth shut, be it from boasting his intelligence, bad-mouthing the others, or revealing the secrets of the Lacour Hope to perfect strangers, case in point Claude and the others.
