“I no longer have any power whatsoever. As Duke Genos ordered, I have no choice but to live out my life as a mere wooden puppet. Well, I idly accepted the life given to me by my father, so it is only natural that everything would be taken from me alongside his fall,” Lefreya dauntlessly stated, her now loose and disheveled hair in plain view. “If I am told to be a nun then a nun I shall be, and if I am told to marry some noble and have an heir, then I shall obey. I can also swear to never again bring harm to you people of the forest’s edge, but it is not as if I have the power left to do so to begin with. With all that being true, can you grant me this one final request?”

“You really want to have your dad eat my cooking that badly?”

“Correct.”

With her gaze still fixed on me, she held out her right hand to the side, still gripping the knife. Kamyua Yoshu then took it from her and solemnly placed it back in its sheath.

“Duke Genos said that he leaves everything regarding this matter up to Asuta and the leading clan heads of the forest’s edge. But he also said there is no need to show kindness to Cyclaeus, who deceived your people over the course of a great many years, and Lady Lefreya, who abducted you, Asuta.”

I turned to face Kamyua Yoshu.

He didn’t look to be especially worked up, and was just shooting me his usual aloof grin.

“However, Cyclaeus is growing weaker day by day, and it’s all he can do to force down the medicine he needs to hold back his illness. From what I’m told, he hasn’t had the willpower to eat any proper food. At this rate it doesn’t seem he’ll last until the trial, so it would be fortunate if your cooking could grant him at least a little bit of nourishment... That’s the only real positive I can see here, but the choice is ultimately yours.”

“I see...”

Right now, there were all sorts of thoughts and feelings all jumbled together inside of me. No one word could sum up what I felt toward Lefreya or Cyclaeus.

Naturally, those emotions included anger and animosity. However, I found myself feeling just as much dreary, empty sadness over the question of why they chose the path they did, instead of living lives filled with hope and compassion.

Perhaps fortunately, though, this was no decision for me to be making on my own. And so as I pushed down those emotions whirling inside of me to the depths of my guts, I turned back toward Lefreya with my face schooled to be as calm as I could manage.

“I’ll discuss it with the leading clan heads of the forest’s edge, as well as my own clan head, Ai Fa. If none of them object, then I’ll go ahead and cook for your father... That’s all I can tell you for now.
