"Why don't you take Mother to a mirror, Emily? I'm sure she would like to know what she looks like."
That was pretty smart of Abel. He knew how eager Emily wanted to drink the "beauty potion," so he found her an excuse to do it without anyone watching.
"Thank you, Abel," the knight of Bennett said. His tone sounded a lot nicer now.
Abel smiled, "It's okay, Father! No need to say thanks. It's for Mother, remember?"
"I'm not thanking you for the potion," the Knight of Bennett said, "It's about… well, I just talked with Marshall. I've talked about this before, but a knight's skillset is very important to his family. If we can pass down the right system to the next generation, we might just have another knight's commander in a few years."
"And… once there is a new knight's commander in the Bennett Family, maybe that's when I'll finally be able to honor my family name."
