Chapter 60

• Anika, Wenammy, and Pearl noticed the sad look that Alex had, and Pearl asked, “You never talk about your parents. Are they dead?”
• "My mother died when I was three years old. My father... he retired to a faraway place after the events of the war with'The Galtian Khaganat'. He killed the Khaganat most powerful Mage Summoner and a bunch of her supporters, and he didn't handle his regret very well. My father was always a man of faith, and having to kill so many took a huge toll on his soul. He abandoned his duties, his lands, and his title, and he did his best to teach me to take his place. I started to improve his lands and Earl Kayden's lands five years ago, and little by little, I developed new methods to do things and I created all sorts of equipment and products. Over time, word spread that anyone was welcome on my lands, and I began receiving a lot of farmers, workers, and servants that wanted to work for me or Earl Kayden.I think Miss Olive is showing the others so many unbelievable things that by the time we get back, they will either be peacefully eating, or they will all be laying in bed, fainting because of so many surprises."
• Pearl fiddled with her fingers for a few seconds, and then she leaned forward, looking at him deeply into his eyes. “Why are you telling us so much? Because you used to be very secretive, and ever since that Priest and the City Chief talked with you in the border City of Haukagil, it's like you can't stop showing off. You don't need to brag so much; you have already conquered us. Unless you want to show us we don't deserve to be at your side, because it seems you can have any woman you want."
