Well, I'm going to get dressed to go to the royal neighborhood. I guess I'm going to wear my fancy clothes that Lana and I bought. Okay, I'm ready to go. I'm here. Uh, hi.
Hi. Who are you?
I brought something a royal family asked for, and I want to give it to them.
What is this thing?
It's a healing plant, and it's poisoning Poeny.
What, are you talking out of your ass? Of course you're a scammer.
No, I'm telling the truth, and you'll see for yourself.
I hope you're telling the truth, young man, because Duke Smith's daughter has been sick for four years and we can't get her medicine.
Surely this is the cure for his daughter's illness.
Henna, come with me. I'll escort you to Duke Smith's house. We have arrived
"Knock-knock.
At the door.
It's me and this young man who claims to have found a cure for your daughter, Duke Smith.
What is this for real? What's your name, young man?
My name is Ewan, and it's an honor to meet you, Duke Smith.
Well, come on in, Ewan. You go get Dr. Fred now.
Yes, sir.
So, Duke Smith, why couldn't you come up with this plant when you have so much power?
Because this plant grows in God's land, no human is allowed to enter it, and any human who enters it will be executed, even if he is a member of the royal family.
"I wonder what will happen to Fiona's father because he took one of the plants from the garden . I really hope he's okay." Oh, so that's it.
Yes. Come see my daughter.
All right.
Papa, Papa, I'm so tired.
Don't worry, my daughter. This man brought you medicine.
Really? Thank you. What's your name?
"This poor girl, she's really tired and very pale." My name is Ewan. And don't worry, you'll be back to health soon. What's your name?
Thank you, Ewan. My name is Flora
Your name is beautiful. It sounds like a flower.
Thank you -cough cough
Don't talk too much, baby. The doctor will be here soon.
Okay, Daddy.
Hello. I'm here, Duke Smith.
Dr. Fred Hi
Hello, Duke Smith. So, where's the peony plant?
Here you go, Doctor.
All right, wait for me. I'll prepare a concoction to prove it's not a fake.
Uh, okay.
It's been five minutes, I'm-
So I checked it out, and the results show that it's really Peony.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, I don't know what I would have done without you. Every day I was going through a period of depression because I saw my daughter being tortured for four years by this disease and I couldn't do anything. You really are my savior.
There's no need to thank me, Duke Smith. The most important thing is Flora's health." If he only knew what I did to get this plant, I don't think he'd think I'm a really good person."
Well, Duke Smith, Flora has been given the medicine and is expected to return to full health within a week.
Thank you, Dr. Fred.
There's no need to thank me, Duke Smith. You may now come in and check on her.
Well
Papa!
Baby, congratulations, you're finally back to full health.
Yes, thanks to Ewan.
Yes, baby.
Please, Daddy, reward Ewan well.
Yes, of course, my daughter. So, Ewan, ask for anything you want, and I'll do my best to fulfill it.
Thank you, Duke Smith, but all I want right now is to see Flora well.
Thank you for your concern, Ewan. Without you, we wouldn't be able to do anything. So I really want you to ask for what you want so that I can repay your great favor, which I can never repay no matter what I do.
Well, Duke Smith, I'd like to meet a man who lives here in the royal neighborhood named Rane. Do you know him?
Yes, I do. He's the younger brother of the Prince of Celesterra .
What, the prince's brother? How come when we ask people around here about him, no one recognizes him?
It must be because he's hidden from the public and only the royal family knows him.
And why is that?
I don't know, but this was Prince Rane's choice.
Uh, okay, and where is he now?
He's in the Kingdom of Shadows.
What's he doing there, and where is that kingdom?
He's visiting his friend, the king of the Shadow Kingdom and wielder of one of the legendary six swords. And the name of his sword is the Sword of Darkness.
And when is he coming back here?
I don't know, but anyway, Ewan, why do you want to meet him specifically?
I have something to ask him.
Ewan.
What is it, Duke Smith?
I'm going to ask you a question, and I'm begging you to tell me the truth.
All right, Duke Smith.
Please tell me your story, Ewan. I promise I'll help you and return the favor of saving my daughter.
"What does this madman ask of me? I certainly won't tell him." There's nothing exciting about my life.
Ewan
What is it, Flora?
Please tell my father the whole truth and he will help you. I promise you, my father is the kind of person who doesn't break his promises even if it means his death.
"What's this? I have something inside me that tells me to tell them everything. Would that be the right thing to do or a stupid thing to do?" AA-
Ewan, calm down, come sit down and tell me everything.
Okay, I'll tell you my whole story.
Don't cry, Flora, my daughter, don't cry.
But my father's life is so full of suffering and cruelty that he had to leave his best friend.
Yes, and that's my whole story.
Ewan, thank you for trusting us. I promise I'll find out who attacked your village, and I promise I'll take care of you.
Take care of me?
Yes, I've decided I'm going to adopt you as my son.
A son to you. Why?
To make you a member of the royal family. That way I can help you find your mother's and father's killer and have access to royal meetings.
And why are you so kind to me, Duke Smith?
Because I already know what a good person you are, and more than that, you are my daughter's savior.
So will I be calling you "Dad"?
