General Goldberg and General Cecille were waiting for us at the port. They said they'd take me back to the manor and Ion and the others to the castle, but then what about my chance to become a hero and get myself free? I told them I'd take everybody to the castle myself. It's not like there's anyone here in Baticul who can overrule me, so they agreed to that, and now we're heading for the castle.
This is the first time I've actually been in Baticul since I lost my memory... It doesn't even feel like home anymore. Oh, well. Right now we need to head for the castle to see Uncle.
When we got to the audience room, someone was already there--Grand Maestro Lahari, from the Order of Sol. I listened to him talk for a little bit, but he really bugs me. He talks like he's so special, even though he's below Sion, and all he was doing was spouting lies to try and worsen our relationship with Malkuth. I guess he's the one behind all this war stuff... Master Kyo wasn't doing anything. I bet Kitten will change her tone about Lahari after this.
We gave the peace letter to Uncle, and then I heard that Mother's fallen ill. She's always been pretty weak... Apparently my cousin Gwen is visiting her, and everybody else wants to see the manor, so we're heading there now.
We ran into Father when we entered the mansion. He was with General Cecille, and he was cold to me, as always. He seemed to be concerned about Master Kyo. Something worries me about that...
When we reached the drawing room, Gwen was there, just back from seeing Mother.
I haven't seen her in a while, but she was playing the proper lady as always. When I think about the fact that I'm engaged to her, it really gets me down. But Gwen told me something that startled me--apparently, my disappearance is being blamed on Master Kyo kidnapping me, and he might even be executed for it. No way! It's Kitten's fault! I asked Gwen to talk to Uncle about it, and she told me to remember how I proposed to her as a kid. How am I supposed to remember that?
Anyway, Gwen went back to the castle to talk to Uncle. I hope Master Kyo will be okay...
When I went to see Mother, she was really happy that I'd come home. I wish Father was even half as nice.
Apparently Mother thought my disappearance was some kind of plot, but she seemed relieved when Kitten apologized for the incident.
Well, I've visited Mother, and I've seen Gwen... Might as well go get some rest.
When I returned to my room, Sion, Emrls and Saiyukiness all said they were going back to the castle. Christian has some kind of report to make too, and even Kitten finally left. It's been a long time since I was alone. Finally I can get some good rest in my own bed. Tomorrow I may be stuck in the manor, but for now all I want is rest.
