Wow, I’m feeling a little hurt. Really, I am. You still don’t trust me? Even when I say I'm giving it away for free, your first instinct is to doubt me. How capable. Truly worthy of a prestigious family. At this rate, if I don't explain, you really might refuse to take it.0

With the thought, Keter said, “It’s because I need something. Seriously.”0

“Ah, so you do need something after all. Stop dragging it out and just say it.”0

Panir sounded like he had already anticipated this.0

Seriously, he does not know how to speak nicely.0

“Sefira needs the patriarch and the elders. I know you're all working tirelessly. It’s just that pouring effort into a bottomless pit makes it hard to notice. But you are all getting old, and it worries me. You could collapse at any moment. I mean, just look at you now.”0

Huh? Why are they looking at me like that? I’m complimenting you all. I’m not done yet.0

“Lord Reganon, you look like a strong gust of wind could blow you away. Lord Panir, you were sweating after just a short spar. Father, those eye bags are going to go down all the way to your knees soon. How could I not be concerned?”0

Myle looked at Keter as if asking how he fit into all this.0

“For Myle, it’s just a gift. You wouldn’t be happy if you were the only one left out, right?”0

Incantation was even harder to learn than magic, not just in terms of the talent necessary...0
