After talking with the miko, I consulted with Therese.
She seems to have heard about Zenith being kidnapped.
She earnestly advised me.
"I can't imagine mother being that high-handed... Anyway, I'll have a day off soon. During that time, I'll talk with mother. Don't worry, Zenith isn't going to be married of to some other man while you aren't aware."
Therese said that while thumping her chest, which is just as large as Zenith's.
How reliable.
"However, mother was strongly opposed to me joining the knights, so she may not listen to what I have to say."
"... What should we do if that's the case?"
"At that time, I can go to father or brother[5], there are many people I can consult with. Just leave it to me."
Truly reliable.
