Departure to the Northern Dukedom

"Be careful along the journey, all right, son?"

Lady of the Aemilia clan spoke softly as she caressed the cheek of her beloved son. "I heard that there are dangerous demon beasts and treacherous paths along the road to the capital city of Farnese dukedom."

Marcius put his hand upon that of his mother.

"I will… be careful, mother. Don't worry about this son of yours. This is not the first time I have had to leave for a long journey away from Mediolan. I know just how dangerous these roads can actually be."

Helen scrunched up her face as she heard her son's words.

"Well, it is a mother's duty to worry for her son. You may be much stronger now than before, but this is by far the riskiest kind of journey you will have to embark on. The roads in the region of central Farnese are well-known for the danger they could offer to the travelers."
