Valerian was holding a magic stone to channel mana in his collar chain. He also told Valerie to do the same. Misericordia's eyes were brimming with pain and sorrow. Valerian smiled bitterly, and using his hands, he said, 'I cannot cry either. That poison Tyrant gave to Mum...' 

The lady held his hands and said, "I know it all, my child. I know all of it as if it was yesterday."

Valerian shivered and asked, 'Can you tell me?' 

Misericordia froze and asked him, "Why do you want to know? Do not tell me it is about revenge." 

The young man did not say anything but asked, 'Can you use magic? There is a letter in my magic pouch; Mum left it.' 

The lady was stunned than she said, "We should talk inside. Come along." 

Valerian shook his head and said, 'There is someone else who needs to know all this too?' 

Misericordia asked, "Who?"

'The queen of dragons, and my magical beast companion, Fortuna Dracos.', said Valerian.
