The living room
"Father..."
The son greets his father and takes a seat next to him.
"Is she alright?"
His father asks.
"Yes."
"Is there anything that I need to know?...or anything that you allowed me to know?"
"..."
"You know her fiancé came here last night."
His father continues.
"!?"
"He was so desperate to know where you were...I knew he didn't want to see you, but seeing you would lead to her..."
"..."
"That guy...really loves her... or I don't know, I could have been mistaken."
"..."
"Do you love her, son?"
"..."
"Of course you do. Otherwise, you would not have gone this far. So I guess you've been to The North Mountain?"
"Yes."
"To find those stones?"
"To be honest, I didn't know."
"What exactly was the reason that you guys left without any traces? Tell me, son.. at least just one."
"Something happened to Zephyra, and she offered me to leave her, but...I chose to go with her. Every step that she took, I just followed and supported her."
"Without knowing her purpose?"
"Just a glimpse...She warned me and told me about the path she's willing to take."
"But you choose to go with her anyway."
"Yes."
"That's why she said what she said to me… She's very considerate and concerned about you, son...You're totally very good to her then. She would not do this kind of action for just a server."
"No, it's just the way she is. Even if a person treats her very well or puts her on a pedestal, if not for a genuine purpose, she could cut off the ties that easily... and the opposite if a person comes to her forwardly without any hidden reasons…She would do the same… Noble title-man or not."
"Hm…what a strong character she has, very contrasting with her pretty figure."
"..."
The son glares at his father.
"It's a compliment. It's true, she's charming…but you know it, right? Even though she lets you call her by her name, you're still her bodyguard, not a man..."
"...Yes, I am aware of that."
"And she will go back to him by choice or not...That man will not back down for what he wants or what belongs to him..."
"I'm also aware of that."
"Will you let her?"
His father asks.
"...if what she wants...then yes."
"Speak is easy, boy... I kind of like this girl, though…What about the sword? I really want to know."
"She used the sword to cut the rock open."
"..."
"I see... to be honest, she reminds me of someone I know."
