"You're overthinking it," Anjuri comforted, "I chose a good day for the coronet ceremony. Don't worry, the child has come here smoothly without any obstacles. Starry Abyss must be watching over him."
"If Starry Abyss truly watches over Leoz, why couldn't he even be granted basic Talent?" Merston murmured, "Today, I feel uneasy, a strong unease. Leoz abandoned his surname as if he realized what his mother did for the Life Sacrifice... I only hope that through my years of protection, I can help Leoz let go of his prejudice against his biological mother."
