'We should be grateful for everything the royal family has done for us. In exchange, there is only one thing I can think of. My only daughter, you must protect the Princess.'
Back then, before she met Princess Lyn, Pupillam imagined a Princess with vibrant hair, jewel-colored eyes, and skin as soft as snow. Somebody who carried herself with such elegance despite her situation. However, while she did get that, there was something more to the Princess. People often felt sorry for her, because she was a girl and born into a family who made weapons. They often said it was a shame because her appearance was one of her strong points. However, Pupillam always smiled and told them she never regretted it. Because she didn't, if she weren't a member of her family, she would never have met Princess Lyn.
At the funeral of a noble, Pupillam laid her eyes on the young Princess for the first time. She gave off a strong and dignified air.
