It was a surprise to find fresh milk—it seemed fresh, at least—in such a remote place. Lottecia removed the seal on the brand-new bottle and transferred its contents to a nearby pot. The stove was old, but it seemed perfectly usable. She struck a match and started a fire, then set the pot on top of it. That done with, she turned around. Claiomh had stopped crying and was sitting hunched in a chair like she was ashamed.

The kitchen only had a simple table and chairs and was surprisingly sparse otherwise. In the drawers were silverware and cooking tools, but there was nothing fancy like the lord of a mansion would be using. So this was probably where the servants ate. Lottecia put a hand on her hip, wondering how to spend the time it would take for the milk to warm up. She could talk to Claiomh. But she’d been speaking one-sidedly to her for half an hour now and she was running out of things to say.

She turned her thoughts to the magic sword standing against the wall and recalled the words she vaguely remembered hearing under the wind. Do not let go of the sword. She smiled wryly. He couldn’t have meant that she had to keep her guard up around that stupid lord for even the short time it took to heat up some milk. There seemed to have been a commotion in the garden, but it was quiet inside the mansion.

Maybe it’s better if there’s a commotion, she thought. Lottecia snuck a glance at the other girl in the room. The silence was incredibly awkward to her, but she couldn’t think of a way to break it. It was hard just seeing Claiomh so downhearted—it was too big of a change from her first impression of the girl.

Did she feel guilty for picking up on a change in another person? Lottecia analyzed herself as she sniffed the fragrant steam coming off of the hot milk now. If she put some sugar in it and gave it to Claiomh, maybe she’d get back some of her energy. No emotion could resist the replenishment of sweetness in the system.

“Was Orphen...”

Lottecia reacted exaggeratedly when Claiomh suddenly spoke. She hurriedly turned around and blinked several times. She hadn’t been expecting Claiomh to start a conversation. But no matter how long she waited for her to continue, Claiomh just stared absentmindedly at her, her mouth closed.

“...What is it?” Lottecia asked her, and Claiomh’s eyes dropped to her feet once more. She was practically leaning over the table.

In a tiny voice that was hard to pick up, she asked, “Was Orphen mad?”

“I don’t think he was mad. Umm... at least, not at you.” Lottecia cleared her throat, remembering the black sorcerer who had very clearly been mad with rage. That man was nothing but trouble! “It’s just, well, it seems like a lot happened yesterday... I don’t know much about it myself. But it sounds like it was really horrible. I think that’s why he was so upset.
