The girl sitting beside him was the illegitimate daughter of Duke Maximilian Valen—the same pink-haired girl. Cassandra had sacrificed her freedom, becoming Neonidas' concubine to save this girl. Now, with her pink hair dyed black, the sweet girl had a faint smile on her face. She was smiling because Neonidas had promised she would see her sister.
Neonidas held up a mirror for her to see herself. "I can't see it... There are words written on it," she said.
