"Thank you very much!" My father bowed, forcing me to bow as well.
I suppose I am truly different than my father. While he always thought about the security of the village, I was only thinking about running away into a safer place. He's someone dedicated to his people… One of my greatest mistakes was not being someone that cared enough, I let my subordinates all die because of my recklessness. Maybe I still have a thing or two to learn from my father.
As things seemed to be almost over, Erika was left with her request. She stood there in silence for a while, completely different from her former self.
"I-I have a request too…" Erika said.
"Ah, the girl with the doll spirits, aren't you? You're also a talented one. Ask away." Said the Duke. "If its money what you want, you'll get the same reward as the boy."
"I would like… I would like to meet my mother, Cattalina!" Erika said boldly, the entire hall fell silent.
"Cattalina…?" Asked the Duke.
