"That's more like it. After all, we're family, and I value family above all else. Though I have to say, I rather liked your rebellious look from before."
"A big brother for a day is a big brother for a lifetime. From now on, you lead, and I'll follow. Starting today, my life is in your hands!"
"Good, good." Eric smiled and patted Otto's shoulder.
Eric then asked Otto what had happened after that day.
After capturing Rufus alive, he had not returned to Fougeres Castle.
Otto explained what had transpired. He had been locked in his room for a full day, only being released by the Old Baron the following day.
He was furious about Eric's betrayal, but ultimately, he did nothing. He was not one to inflict upon others the suffering that had been inflicted upon him.
After being released, he went to Laponti, refusing to give up, to confirm the situation. It turned out everything was true.
