"I'm not that evil, you know. Geez. Alright. I'll be your friend, or ally at least. For family, Blanca and Dimo then. They were quite worried about you when you were injured. They already cherish you not only as their master, but also as someone like family," the Empress added when Alwin refused her as part of his family.
'Ah, them?'
Alwin recalled the worried faces the two had when he had just woken up. The two looked terrible with worry, as if they hadn't slept properly from waiting for him to wake up. And his theory was indeed confirmed by his Uncle Alvis and the Empress.
Dimo and Blanca tried to stay up to keep watch over him. And they cried in so much relief when he assured them he was alright. Those two, he didn't mind being part of his family.
Alwin was quite surprised with himself. Originally, he had only agreed to allow Dimo to stay in the Magic Tower so he could watch him closely. After all, Dimo was the Empress' magician in the past they once lived.
