About two hours later, Ayu was bandaged and conscious, Uter had also recovered his strength. They transported the tall girl in a wheelchair back to Lord Tanja's palace. To avoid slipping on the glass with the wheelchair, they used the normal entrance, where Tanja was already waiting for them.

- Are you all alright?—As soon as she saw them, she rushed over on her small feet— I heard you won against Torm, but the doctors had to take Ayu away.

- I'm alive.—the sitting girl briefly and succinctly described her condition.

- We did it—Uter pulled the ring from his pocket and handed it to Tanja— I doubt he's trying to cheat us, but you should check if it fits.

- Oh, you're proposing to me! I didn't expect this.—she easily slid the very expensive item onto her finger—It fits perfectly! How did you know my ring size?

- It was revealed to me in a dream. I'm glad that's settled, maybe from now on I'll be able to limit contact with my family even more.

- With me too? — even though Ayu's ears were bandaged, she was listening attentively

- You're no longer part of that family either. Technically, the punishment for failure was exile, but actually, yesterday, on our way to him, we removed ourselves from it.

- That's true. Is there any food? I'm so hungry.

- Of course there is! — it was clear from Tanja's expression that once she decided everyone was well, she felt great joy about solving her problem — We have a huge amount of food prepared.

- On the large table set up in the ballroom, there was indeed a gargantuan amount of various meats, sweets, cereals, potatoes, bread, soups, basically everything one could imagine.

- So you're the heroes who helped my little girl! — behind the table stood a short, slightly chubby man with a prominent mustache and a cheerful face — I'm Tanja's dad, you can call me Nikita.

- Nice to meet you! — the white-haired girl stepped forward — My name is Misu, can we eat from this whole table?

- Of course, it's all for you! I don't expect you to eat everything, but it's important to have a large variety of food.

- Holy words. — her delicate body was already seated at a chair, and her beautiful eyes were scanning for what to put on her plate.

- Actually, this is the first time I've seen your father... — Uter was still standing next to Tanja —       I mean, I first time seeing him as your father, I think I have seen him in town, but I' ve never  guessed you were his daughter.

- Because he's shorter than me?

- That too, but generally you don't look alike at all.

- Isn't it good that I don't look like my dad, though? It means I look feminine.

- I don't want to interrupt, but could you take me to the table? — Ayu was really eager to eat.

They ate for about two hours. Eating until your stomach hurts, then stuffing yourself with sweets, is one of life's greatest pleasures.

- Thank you again for your help. — at one point, Tanja found herself over the well-fed Yuso

- Actually, I didn't do much.

- But you were ready to.

- I was ready too. — Misu was sitting right next to her

- I know you were, and I really appreciate it. This is your reward. — she placed two books in front of the boy — In the one on the right, Lenbor and Amelia are in one of the chapters, the one on the left... well, there's never any certainty, but it was probably written by one of them.
