Glowing Valley, Fluorescent Castle.
"Great Dragon watches over, your devoted servant Meryl Rain Flower prays to you. May your broad wings, wise gaze, and warmth that shelters all beings protect my husband Roman Fluorescent Fungus and my son Russell Fluorescent Fungus, safely bringing them home."
Inside the study.
Lady Meryl, who was personally dusting the bookshelves, couldn't help but face the window to the north once again and pray to the Shadowflame Dragon, whose whereabouts were unknown.
The destiny of a knight is the battlefield, and even noble lords are no exception.
Lady Meryl understood this and supported her husband and son going to battle, but she couldn't find peace and was constantly worried.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open, and Lola, now twelve years old, quietly came in, "Mother, are you praying to the Great Dragon?"
"It's you, Lola," Lady Meryl nodded. "Come here, pray with your mother to the Great Dragon that your father and brother can return home safely."
