Lia and Mika remained on the plaza while silence lulled them to listen to the faint rustle of the leaves.
Finally, Mika opened his mouth, "I don't need you to pass anything on to me. None of your nonsense you've learnt. I will join you because that's the deal."
With that Mika stood up, glanced at her stomach not wanting to look at her eyes and stomped away.
"Although," he stopped, "If you're that strong, you should've helped us. Back in the cave."
Not waiting for Lia to speak, he continued his stomping until he vanished inside the mansion.
Lia watched him and sighed before turning towards the distant path to the city centre. It would be a stony path with him. Maybe she should've just given up on the D family.
"Miss," a servant came up to her and bowed, "Your room is ready, please take a bath."
"Oh," maybe it wasn't too bad.
