Chapter 112 - Before The March

"It is not about her strength...," Nobuharu replied, "her ability to look out for herself was never in question." What matters is that I made a vow, Dry, to a man I have come to respect. "I do not intend to break that promise."

"Have you thought about her choice?" ...", Drey asked, "Do you think she would stay away?"

"If she doesn't, then I would just have to abstain enough from her," he replied to Drey.

"Do you also think she would just accept that and move on?" ", he asked Nobuharu, "Frankly, she has no better place to turn to." She feels more at home with you than she does with her hating father, and you think she would just nod in agreement to distancing herself from you? I don't think so."

About half an hour later, Drey and Nobuharu had finished taking their baths and were coming out of the room to put some normal clothes on, while Murasaki and Anzu remained in the kitchen preparing dinner.
