Then she loosened the tie from her hair and turned her head slightly, while her mother stood beside her and started to pick up the comb on the dressing mirror and gently combed her daughter's hair.

Mother and daughter are like this when they haven't seen each other for a long time, and they will still be like this when they want to talk. When combing their hair, it can calm Claire down.

It is a small ceremony between mother and daughter.

As the comb gently combed through Claire's smooth red hair.

Fortrina spoke.

"Under the education of your father and so many knight uncles, you have not been like a girl since you were a child. You like swords and armor, and martial arts."

"Although I often ask you to be elegant and dignified, I know that you are a pony that yearns to run freely, so when you wanted to become an explorer, I did not stop you."

"Who knew that in just one year, my lovely daughter would be snatched away by a hateful human boy."

Having said this, a vicious expression appeared on Fortrina's face, and then she said a little lonely: "Although I already knew it."

Claire looked at her mother's expression through the giant dressing mirror in front of her, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

"So do you really love him? Or is it just a momentary impulse? You must know that your life span is much longer than that of humans."

Fortrina looked at her daughter worriedly. She didn't want to wait for her daughter to guard her husband's grave a hundred years later.

Claire has never considered her mother's problem, because when an explorer enters gold, his lifespan will be greatly improved. After that, lifespan is almost no longer a problem.

And she can definitely enter gold, Kane is even more powerful than herself, so this has never been within her scope of consideration.

"Kane is great."

Looking at the expression on my daughter's face brings back sweet memories.

Fortrina also showed a smile and asked softly: "Then tell your mother, how about you tell your story?"

"Um."

Claire spoke softly and briefly about her encounter with Kane, her voice ranging from embarrassed and weak to as revealing as showing off.

Looking at her daughter's performance and the twinkling light in her eyes, Fortrina knew that that damn human brat had really taken her daughter away.

"...That's it in the end." Claire took a breath and finished telling the story about herself and Kane.

Fortrina smiled and touched her daughter's head, then asked: "What kind of hairstyle do you want?"

"Wrap it up with a hairpin and plug it in." Claire thought of something and said.

"Hairpin?" Fortrina looked confused. She had never heard of such a thing.

Claire gently took out a box from the space equipment where she stored valuables.

Looking at the pattern on the box, the smile on Claire's face became even sweeter. She gently opened the buckle of the box lid, and then slowly opened the lid.

There was a gem lying inside that looked like the stars in the night sky.

The gem is fixed by an invisible material, and a transparent hairpin that is as thin as a chopstick extends downward.

He gently took out the hairpin with both hands, handed it to his mother and said, "Be careful not to break it."

Fortrina took it and turned it around slightly to look at it.

Looking at Claire's precious look, it didn't take much to figure out that this thing must have been a gift from Kane.

Looking at the beautiful gem on the transparent hairpin, Fortrina recognized it.
