Amy immediately nodded. "I am Daddy's daughter."
"Amy, stop saying that," Keira said, gently pulling her daughter closer. "Don't call him that."
"But, Mom, he is Dad!" Amy insisted, her tiny face lighting up with conviction.
Keira sighed, torn between amusement and exasperation. "How could you possibly know that?"
Amy opened her mouth, about to say, "Because you told me..." when a group of people suddenly entered the room.
Keira's attention shifted immediately. The newcomers were unmistakably from Country A, their features bearing subtle differences from those native to Crera. They moved purposefully toward Monbatten, their expressions radiating tension.
Keira frowned and leaned closer to Jenkins. "Who are they?" she whispered.
