Queen Claudia's procession finally reached the castle safely. She got off the chariot, always followed by Gardyne.

Claudia: " let's end it quickly and leave this place."

And walked inside...

Elie put a cup of tea in front of both of them and left with a bow. The only left ones in the room where Claudia, Jin and Yuuya. Jin and Claudia sat to a table while Yuuya stood there behind Jin.

Claudia: " I should be thankful for sending your commander to protect me. Though that I would be glad if you tell me how did you know about that?"

Jin looked away.

Jin: " it's... a little bit complicated..."

Claudia eyed him carefully.

Claudia: " you had grown up..."

Jin snapped at that and looked at her.

Claudia: " I used to attend the kings meetings as the queen of a neighbor country for both Misora and Harness. And I used to see you often there 'cause your parents couldn't afford letting you alone as they knew someone was trying to kill them and probably you too."

She took a sip of the tea and said.

Claudia: " I remember that Jun'ichirou was always chuckling you or patting your head every time he would see you, despite knowing that you will grow up to be the one to hate him and to seek revenge of his son. This is really ridiculous."

She said as she let out a small smile and reached for her bag. She took out three envelopes, put two on the side of the table, and pushed one in front of Jin.

Jin: " this is..."

Claudia: " let me be straight, while everyone thinks that I came to discuss our kingdoms' situations since the war, I really came here for another purpose."

Yuuya: " you mean you didn't come here to talk about the kingdoms' relationship?"

Claudia: " the one who saved Harness from being destroyed by my father was king Yamano. If anything else he should be the one to receive the thanks in this memory. I really came because I had to give this to you."

She took a deep breath and said.

Claudia: " twelve years ago, Jun'ichirou came to Arabista in the search for the legendary Hammer of earth that was said to be hidden in our kingdom. After that he finished his mission, he entrusted me with those three letters and said I should give them to their owners when they will reach eighteen years old and he asked me to stay away from the territory of the four kingdoms till that time as everything will get dirtier."

She looked through the window.

Claudia: " I know that you will turn off your eighteen year next week but if I came in another time, Kaidou will suspect that. And I would rather die than meeting him, so I can't come when it's your coronation."

Jin looked at the envelope in front of him and then at Claudia.

Claudia: " I don't know what's in there either. I kept them as they were when he had given them to me."

Jin looked up at her and she nodded.

Claudia: " you can open it."

He took it and tore the envelope before taking out some papers. When he folded them open. His eyes widened as he recognized the handwriting.

Jin: " it's my father's handwriting!?"

Yuuya: " what! Are you sure!"

He said looking closely at the paper.
