" I mean, I understand that, but don't you think that your progress is still lacking? It only took me an hour to drag those answers out of him."

" Well, you need to think about his position, how could you expect his wives to ask him "what would it take for you to marry another woman?", could you imagine saying that to your partner, Mel? Or if I said that to your Father? It would sound like you think of him as a nuisance, or that he's not good enough."

" Hmm..."

Currently Mom and Mel were going back and forth, ever since Matthew and Sarah left for King Warrick and Queen Aqua. The people who were currently in the room were my family along with Lady Kate and Anna. We were able to enjoy lunch and now we reconvened in Matthew's office. The current conversation has been about Matthew's answers to Mel's questions. It was illuminating to say the least. Even though I was shocked and embarrassed to start with, I was quite thankful to Mel for the information she was able to gain. I wasn't too sure how to continue. I mean, he's been so busy since I arrived, I've barely been able to speak to Matthew since we came back. But with what he's said now... It all might just work out, I mean, he has a favorable impression of me already so...

/WOOSH! Thump!/

" WOAH!"

" So... Much... Mana..."

* Grip.*

" There, there. Just rest now."

My Father audibly gasped in shock as a gateway from Matthew opened up. Then I was shocked as Matthew fell forward while mumbling something, before anyone could stand up, Sarah came from behind him and caught him in what looks like a hug from behind.

" Why did you have to insist on all of us going through exactly?"

" It's not a good test if it's easy. I'll say that he passes though... just barely."

" Barely? Can you point me to someone who can transport 5 people plus luggage? And they all arrive whole?"

" I could if I was a Summoner."

" You're the exception and you know it. Haahh...
Hm?"

Just as we were absorbing what it was that we were seeing, all of a sudden who I could only assume was King Warrick and his wife Queen Aqua walked through the open portal. They were breath taking to look at. King Warrick's long flowing white hair wouldn't lose to Sarah's own. His piercing red eyes were filled with warmth and worry as he looked at Matthew as Sarah shifted his body in her arms, once he saw the other people in the room, his eyes began to exude a strong aura of a ruler, the change in his face was also noticeable. What looked like a concerned, handsome but concerned father changed into the type of beauty that could only be captured in a painting by a master artist. His tall stature that would say sits somewhere along 7 or 8 foot tall. His garb, a uniform with the combination of red and black colors seemed to make him look almost taller than he was. It added to his imposing figure.

" Is Darling okay, Sarah?"

" It's just Mana Exhaustion. While I'd like to just fix it now, he made me promise to do it privately. Can you help me Anna?"

Sarah and Anna proceeded to take John out of the room. Once the door was closed, Who I assumed was Queen Aqua began to speak.

" I apologize for the scene we've shown you, but as something like a teacher to Marquess Matthew, I wanted to see how far my student had come. Safe to say I find his growth merely only satisfactory. Allow me to introduce ourselves!"
