It's morning and we are all sitting around the same table having breakfast. Sister Dana is still not used to this daily routine, which makes me a little sad. She's still struggling to follow proper etiquette, which honestly reminds me of my first time here. It's cute how she's trying her best to set a good example, since Nar and Sas made fun of her saying that I have better table manners. Still, I enjoy eating with them all. Today's breakfast is heavy, but since school is still on vacation, there's no need for me to rush.

"Ugh... so tedious" [Dana].

"True, but you have to adapt to an environment" [Khamisah].

"You don't seem to be having any trouble though" [Dana]

"Well, I am already used to it, after all I am friends with Amleth and Ophelia back then, so I naturally pick it up over time" [Khamisah].

"Now I am friends with Kara and Mara! I guess our family will be friends forever and ever" [Diana].

"I hope so, I feel sorry for Queen Amleth since she's surrounded by greedy people most of the time" [Sas].

"Not to be rude, but yes, I agree. I sincerely hope that our relationship with her can prove useful to her, at least to lighten her burden, even if it's just a little" [Nar].

"Of course! Aunt Amleth, Kara and Mara seem to be happy every time I meet them! I don't want to see them sad! I hope today will be no different!" [Diana]

"You're going to the castle to play with them today?" [Nar]

"That, and..." [Diana]

I explained to them what happened yesterday. I will ask the Head Maid who is here with us to add her own opinion on the matter. Someone like her will be better at actually explaining everything that's going on, so I plan to go with her today.

"Another problem arises... Savel will also bring Dragonewt and Dragonborn for Salin. This may prove to be a headache" [Nar].

"The illumination will cause trouble?" [Diana]

"Yes... They certainly will. Of course, there's also another extremist group from the Beastman. Just as those from the crazy side of the Church think that humans are above all else, this beast group called The True Beastman has the same ideology; instead, they think that they are the superior one above all else" [Nar].

"Ohh, I have met them before. Hectic bunch, loud and useless" [Dana].

"So Miss Eisheth must have suspected them as well. Nar, how about you go with Diana. Dana and Khamisah, we should probably give the guild a helping hand" [Sas].

"Ehh... I wanted to go with Diana!" [Dana]

"Come on. You're also curious about the Adventure Guild, aren't you? This is a good opportunity." [Khamisah]

"Well, if you don't want to, it's okay. Just take it easy. It's hard to get used to a new environment" [Nar].

"Are you saying that I am incapable of adapting?" [Dana]

"How did you come to that conclusion?" [Nar]

Dana somehow got angry with Nar. Well, it's the usual thing. I don't know why, but she's always angry at Nar and Sas, and they like to tease her back. They're getting closer and closer, which is a good thing.

After we all finished our breakfast, Nar, the head maid and I took one of our carriages to the castle. As usual, we enter the castle without a hitch. The older guard seems to recognize Head Maid, which makes sense since she was once Aunt Amleth's very own tutor.

"Aunt Amleth! Kara! Mara! I have come to play... Mr. Savel and Mr. Asterion, what are you doing here?" [Diana]

"Ooh! It's Diana." [Savel]

"Active as ever. Well, to answer your question, we are trying to convince a tribe of dragonnewt to come and live with us" [Asterion].

"Oh, that thing Nar mentioned at breakfast. Still, you're already strong, so why do you need Auntie Amleth's emblem?" [Diana]

"Just to further convince them. An evolved dragonewt like me with an official letter from Her Highness wouldn't impress anyone" [Savel].

"I see... I see. As Linda said, males will do anything in their power to impress females! Is that what you're doing?" [Diana]

"Diana..." [Kara]

"Kahkahkah, well, if you put it that way, then yes" [Savel]

"I'm sorry for her comment..." [Nar]

"By the way, why are you here?" [Mara]

"With Mahsuri and Nar anyway" [Amleth]

"Well..." [Diana]

We explained to them what happened yesterday. Queen Amleth hasn't received any information from the Ministry of Health about Dr. Natasha's problem yet, so she makes an unhappy face. Kara and Mara seem to be angry as well and ask if they can accompany me today, but Aunt Amleth forbids them and tells them to wait and see. The Head Maid agrees, as reckless action from someone in her position could make things worse if done hastily.

Kara and Mara nod and sigh at the same time, thinking about their actions, but I think they're doing just fine. They are obviously thinking of those mothers who will visit Salin as their top priority.

"Nar, please get a report from Miss Eisheth as soon as possible. As for us, I'll call Dr. Natasha herself and see what else we can do from here" [Amleth].

"Will do" [Nar]

"Hmm..." [Mara]

"Something wrong, dear?" [Amleth]

"I was just wondering, shouldn't we involve Saintess Rumia as well? She's well versed in the art of healing as well. If she and the Church are involved, surely the manpower issue can be addressed" [Mara].

"I was thinking the same thing. Not only that, but I'm sure that with her involvement, the mothers will be more reassured, and that might lure the culprit into more aggressive actions, making it easier for us to hunt them down" [Kara].

"I see! Shall I tell Saintess Rumia and Jean?" [Diana]

"That's fine. Thank you for your kind offer" [Kara]

"We'll do it ourselves" [Mara]

"Well then, good luck! As for me, I can just keep on helping Dr. Natasha, but... Why don't I follow Asterion and Savel! I wanted to see the Dragonewt tribe as well! [Diana]

"Sure! Hop on!" [Asterion]

"Kahkahkah, you are officially invited!" [Savel]

"Absolutely not!" [Nar]

"WHY!?" [Diana, Savel, Asterion]
