Being a friend is better than being a guest
Kana guided Aster and Alice upstairs, the mansion was quite big and they saw a lot of rooms along the way, including a library which caught Aster's attention but right now it was not the time for that, they arrived to a room which was protected by a pair of female guards.
The two women saw Kana and they opened the door to let them enter, Aster's sense of smell was quite sharp so he immediately detected a strong medicine fragrance in the air, the room was quite simple there was only a nightstand a little table with a pair of chairs and finally a small bed on which a woman was laying.
They approached the bed and the woman smiled when she noticed Kana.
"You little girl, your father came all they way from the capital to here because you wanted to see the forest", said the woman in a warm tone.
Kana sat on the border of the bed and grabbed her mother's hands.
"Don't worry about that mom, how do you feel today?".
The woman coughed a couple of times before answering.
