After reaching the palace, Vaan and Astoria arranged the new living quarters for the group of homeless and jobless Darkans they had helped along the way. Later, they would be assigned jobs in the palace according to their skills and talents.
In the history of the Holy Knight Empire, no Darkan had set foot in the palace, which had been built and ruled by the Solarans.
As such, the Darkans felt overwhelming honor and misgivings to be the first Darkans granted such an opportunity.
The Darkan group all had similar situations, like the first mother-son pair who received help.
Although not all of them were parents like the young mother, some of them were once little children like the three-year-old boy. The only difference was they had already lost the protection of their mother and grew up as orphans.
Even so, this group of children between twelve and sixteen years of age could survive on their own until now because they developed their fighting skills and street smarts.
