Newfound Friendship
Meanwhile, Rosalind found herself increasingly perplexed by Lucas's actions. Was she being too suspicious, or did his motives truly go beyond mere coincidences? Unfortunately, she couldn't bring herself to believe in coincidences.
"What are you thinking? Shouldn't you spend your time sleeping instead of staring at nothing?" Lucas remarked. It was already high noon, and Rosalind was having her lunch alone. Lucas had urgent matters to attend to, so he would have to leave when they returned to Wugari.

Lucas took a seat opposite her. "The Duke and Duchess of Sloryn are quite well-known characters. The Duke neglects his daughter, instead choosing to train a young man who later became a General.
