"Really, what a family are you from, then?
"One that's very well known and closely affiliated with the Vandimions."
"Feel like you're pulling this affiliation out of your ass, friend." They do not appear to be convinced, but nothing a little mind control wouldn't fix.
"Wait, I think I know you from somewhere, didn't the messenger deliver us a report of The Impaler?"
"Yes he did..."
...Hm? That's strange, you're having a hard time delving into their mind. It's like their Od is blocked by some other magician?
The image of the smiling girl's lips appear to you when you close your eyes.
Oh, that's absolutely adorable. Do you look like a weakling in magic due to your hurt constitution? She's about to be in for a rude awakening, Your spirit is still intact, and stronger than ever.
And this Sonia girl is no Femto, no Slan, no Flora, and certainly no Merlina. Dispersing her Od is as easy as breaking a cobweb under your bed. Away with her!
"As I was saying, I will simply talk with them and you shall go your way. Besides it is not much to report to your captain, arresting a bunch of kids. What you think others would say of that?"
Focusing back onto the crowd of guards, they appeared to be peacefully sleeping in place.
"Thought so."
Letting you return to the inn to instruct Benny on how to use the mandragoran medicine before sleeping with her sister. With your group being ready to sleep, you felt that it was best for them not to be disturbed by a mere introduction, Benny can talk to the others if he feels like it.
For now, it's best to focus on the journey for tomorrow.
Leaving the inn at early morning and promising to contact your friends through telepathy in case anything happens, you march forward towards Farnese's old home with Serpico.
You did not see her eyes being shut for one second when sleeping with her yesterday, and even with the added force she was using to hold the hands of both her strongest knights -Mostly due to how wounded they were- her hands were constantly trembling.
Her growth retracted into nothingness when meeting her father again, with how much importance she is giving to him, you're almost feeling intimidated yourself. Will she stay strong and remind herself of your life lessons inside the house she grew up in?
It was hard to say who she respected the most, now that she was in his palace.
As common courtesy from entering a noble household, Farnese entered the main hallway after giving a maid an engraved sword, with you accompanying it with one of Violet's gigantic, fresh eggs. Should be good for an exotic meal, at least...
