In the middle of the night, Anastasia's attack is expected, but Lunamaria avoids it by attaching a rope.
Just to be sure, the door is securely locked.
During the night, I go through what happened today before falling asleep.
Anastasia, the ancient elven wizard. Commander of the Kingsguard and hero of the tree.
Regardless of her origins and character, the information she brought me was surprising.
"Master Will, you are royalty of the land. You are a prince.
I never thought the day would come when such a thing would be declared.
I once asked Ronin, the God of Swords, once.
"Hey, Father Ronin, where was I born? What are real mothers and fathers doing?
I was told from the beginning of my life that I wasn't related to them. (Well, there's no hiding it.)
At the time, Dad Ronin said, "Look, Will, you came from a tree.
"Look, Will, you came out of a tree, so you didn't have a birth mother. So you didn't have a birth mother.
Of course, I knew at once that it was a joke. Ronin did not seem to want to mention this.
Later, when I asked Milia, the god of healing, the same question, she said, "You gave birth to me.
You were born of my stomach ache. Or the stork brought it in and then I ate a cabbage and I got pregnant".
This too is obviously a lie.
I can't help but ask Vandal, but he starts talking about how to make a child and what life is all about.
For three days and three nights he talks about life. Then, when it started to cover the birth of the universe, I cut it off and asked the all-powerful god in the branch of the big tree.
Do I have a real father and mother, Reus?
Reus, in the form of a raven, said bluntly.
"Somewhere in this world. Somewhere in this world.
Why did they leave me?
I don't know. Maybe there were compelling circumstances.
"Hmm.
"Will you want to meet your real father and mother?
I shook my head immediately at the answer.
"-No, I'm just curious. And I already have my mom and dad. Four. I don't want any more.
I'm glad to hear that. But maybe in the future you'll meet your real parents. Then feel free to meet them. I'm sure they look just like their real parents.
