Nana and Esther were both inside the car driving to the General Deseri's camp.
Nana : sighs. I wonder how much of my powers she knows.
Esther : why must she choose April?
Nana ; she ever seen April before ?
Esther : at one of the birthday party. Yes. She complimented April's fighting then.
Nana : What happened?
Esther : there were two people who came to crash the party. They were angry with one of the guests. April stepped in and fought them. That's when General Deseri said for a young girl, she has the standard combat ability of an average soldier who has went to war. Said she will have a good future.
Nana ; is that why .
Esther: you won't agree to the marriage right ?
Nana : what do you think of letting April get adopted again ?
Esther: what ?!
They came upon the Deseri's Camp and was let quickly to Katherie
Katherie: hi Nana.
Nana sat down on the couch, with Esther next to her.
Katherie: this is the eldest. Er..
Esther ; Esther.
Katherie: yes. Thought about my offer ?
Nana : why her ?
Katherie: she's good . A talent. I can train her to become like me. She can take over me. Plus... She is ultimately your daughter once. The connections you have. I know.
Nana ; no one else better in your family?
Katherie: those worms . They know nothing about how to sustain this family.
Nana : April is only 12. Even if the arranged marriage is done now, it can only happen when she is of bigger age. Your training...
Katherie: come on Nana. Your debating skills is better than this. My training can take place the moment you agree. I'll be training my future daughter - in - law.
Nana : your son can't make it ?
Katherie: unfortunately, his magic is low level. Like his father.
Low level magic refers to magic that is not useful or has very little capabilities.
Nana : I have your other relatives threats in my hands. You can still control them.
Katherie: I can control them now. I want something for the future. April. It's worth it for you. One marriage and you get me to do what you want. Magic contract, I can't back out.
Nana : I know how it works. I make them.
Katherie; so ?
Nana : she's 12 . I don't want her to marry someone she may find out she don't like. Not dislike. But... Not like.
Katherie: right... You're that type. For your dead lover , Izuya. You abandoned from an apothecary to become a soldier. A colonel. Just to find out the truth.
Esther looks at nana.
Lover ? Izuya? I've never heard of this before from mother.
Nana : I could use the threats I gathered to pressure your relatives to pressure you.
Katherie : then I'll kill all of them. You'll give me a reason.
Esther: you can't.
Katherie: why not ? My army is my power. They are just leeches. I just haven't found a good reason to kill all of them in one go.
Nana : adopt.
Katherie: that's right. She's your adopted too. ... That's even better. Let's sign shall we ?
Nana ; with conditions.
Katherie: what ?
Nana : of course she'll become a Deseri. But she'll be able to return to us whenever she likes. We'll set up an anchored portal in her room. Give her a key only she can pass through freely. She's still, our family in bonds. Just under your name.
Katherie: but in public, she's my daughter. You can never say she's yours ever again.
Nana : Esther. Ok ?
Esther : what happens if we say no ?
Katherie: then I'll take you two here and force ... Who again ?
Nana : Neva
Katherie: him to give me April.
Nana : enough. Esther. It's ok. Katherie.
Katherie: oh. Calling me by my real name now.
Nana : we are going to be close now. I can't call you that ?
Katherie shrugged.
Nana takes out the magic contract " sign. "
So katherie did.

Esther ; you don't think she would really kill all her relatives?
Nana ; for you to ask me that, you half believed she would
Esther: so she wouldn't?
Nana : she already killed three. With her own hands. One stole the army's money. Second one, went to complain her to the news to spread bad reputation. Third one, no one knows. She had always ruled with an iron fist. That's why her army can win even with one small company. There's something about her people fear but follow loyally
Esther ; you too ? When you were a soldier
Nana : um. Still fear her a bit when Shadow Demon isn't with me. Katherie Deseri is a strong female general. I may not win her.
Esther : I see.
Nana ; alright. Now I've got to explain to April when we get back home.
