"Don't worry about it, Lady Maria. My father died for the country, protecting them from the menace of the monsters. He died protecting me and my mother… Like the warrior he always was. After that incident, I was devasted though… I stopped forging, thinking there was no point anymore without my old man. But my mother and my grandma got me out of that hole, and then helped me join a school for forging. In there is where I meet those old men over there. They reignited my passion for forging, and since then, I never stopped forging. I didn't wanted to be like my father any longer, I wanted to surpass him one day."
"I am sure you've already surpassed him." I said with a smile.
