Arsine's friend is exciting her too much. Kloe and her family always separated themselves from Arsine and I. If it weren't for the girls friendship, the Pentall's and my family would be rivals. Kloe's betrothal to Thomas doesn't help the situation either. With their daughter about to become the wife of the most powerful man's heir, the opinion they have for themselves just grew larger. I warn Arsine of this but she heeds my concerns most poorly. Should my daughter be friends with Kloe Pentall after her marriage, Celine's case might be reopened. It was with this dwindling hope that I held on. The two girls are comparing wing grooming techniques in the yard. Like all the mothers in Arsale, I had hoped that Arsine would be the one that married Collin's son, Thomas. With Collin being the head of the council, I felt that I had a better reason than all the other mothers. They only wanted their girls happily married and wealthy. I want that for Arsine, and my missing daughter back. Unlike my daughter, I still remember the promise I made to the them. I promised them I would never, ever let their father see them, touch them, nothing. And Celine might just be with her father now. I can't even bear to think about it. That scoundrel hurt this city and me more than any man should get away with. I will get my revenge on that despicable, degenerate creature.
