Aaron also wanted to hear Dick's opinion on Casey's question.
Dick said matter-of-factly, "Can't I help you?"
“But,” Casey said, “we are enemies.”
"At least I don't consider you an enemy," Dick replied.
"You killed my father, and I once wanted to take your life," Cathy said, her brow furrowed like a tangled ball of yarn.
"And our grudges are settled, aren't they?" Dick's tone was unusually calm.
Well, in order to settle this score, Dick nearly died on the Lines Plateau.
Upon hearing this, Kathy was completely speechless.
Dick continued, "Your father was a pirate, so even if I had to do it ten thousand times over, I wouldn't regret killing a pirate. Even though you're his son, it's not your fault."
"And you are also a duke, so I will always address you as 'My Lord.' Besides, I am a knight, and knights are always happy to lend a helping hand."
After that, silence fell over the table.
Aaron waited silently, wanting to see how Cathy would respond.
After a long silence, Casey finally spoke:
"Thanks."
Dick nodded slightly.
Aaron, on the other hand, smiled slightly.
He knew that the two of them had completely let go of their differences.
Although Aaron did not believe that a friendship could develop between the two.
But the mere fact that they were able to abandon hatred is enough to make it a beautiful story.
Of course, the two people involved probably wouldn't see it that way.
"Alright," Aaron spoke up at this moment, "Now that Lord Dick has made the suggestion, Casey, what do you think?"
"I'm going to the Blenwa Peninsula, and then take a boat to the Clown Islands," Casey replied with a determined look in her eyes.
Aaron immediately replied, "In that case, Casey, I'm willing to sponsor your fare to the Brunswick Peninsula."
Cathy's eyes widened. "Really?! Thank you so much, Mr. Mosley!"
Aaron nodded: "So when do you plan to leave?"
"The sooner the better," Casey said. "This is a race against time."
"A wise decision," Aaron said, turning to Harriet. "So, Harriet, are you planning to go?"
Harley nodded: "Yes, only I can protect Casey."
"But before you leave, please check on their health."
Aaron held out his palm, gesturing to Dick and Peggy opposite Harriet.
Harley nodded: "I will. Sir Dick's physical recovery is amazing. Now that he's able to get out of bed and walk around, I believe he's completely out of danger."
"As for Miss Peggy's condition, I still cannot cure it completely, but in recent days, through my continuous and meticulous care, her illness has been suppressed to a great extent. I am no longer able to do any better."
"But Miss Harriet, please check it again carefully," Dick said immediately.
“I will,” Harriet said. “I’ll check you too. It won’t take long, half an hour will be enough.”
Dick nodded. "There's one more thing. Since it can't be cured, I hope you can treat Peggy again when her condition relapses."
"Yes," Harriet nodded, "After the examination, I will tell you when the recurrence might occur."
"Thank you, kind lady," Dick said, bowing his head deeply.
Kathy then said, "In that case, Harriet, you can give them both a thorough check tomorrow, and I'll prepare the supplies. Sir, what do you think about us leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Aaron smiled slightly: "This is your plan, Cathy. You should make the decision yourself."
"Then let's leave the day after tomorrow," Kay suggested to Harriet.
Harriet nodded.
The discussion quietly came to an end.
The next morning, Harriet began examining Dick and Peggy.
Meanwhile, Kathy went out to buy essential supplies.
Aaron then realized that Cathy was also about to leave.
It must have been almost two years since Kathy came to the library, right?
Time truly slips away silently, sometimes swiftly, sometimes slowly, through our fingers.
Let's assume that Casey achieved her goal and found the Emerald Book.
Then he will acquire the power to control a powerful force, and then he will have a plan to reclaim the plateau.
Kathy might become the true Duke of the Highlands, at which point he would have no reason to return to the library.
Aaron smiled; the arrival of Cathy and Harriet had indeed made his time more lively.
At this moment, Dick came out of the room and walked towards Aaron.
Aaron asked, "How is it?"
"I don't have any major problems, I'm just still weak and need to recover slowly," Dick said. "Peggy is still undergoing examinations."
"Well, I'll follow your doctor's orders, even though Harriet isn't a doctor," Aaron joked.
"But Miss Harriet is better than any other doctor," Dick replied earnestly.
Aaron nodded: "At least, she has noble character."
"Um,"
Dick responded, paused for a moment, and then slowly said, "Sir, I think it's time for Peggy and me to leave. Now that Miss Harriet has left the library, I have no reason to linger here any longer."
Aaron said, "Actually, you could have healed your injuries before leaving."
Dick shook his head: "Injuries are commonplace for knights, and to be honest, I brought Peggy out from Peggy's wedding."
"This incident may worsen the relationship between the Payton and Ritthom families. Therefore, there are still many things to be resolved, and as the culprit, I must take responsibility as soon as possible."
Aaron smiled: "Never running away, always so determined, Dick, you remind me of Pegasus."
“I heard tales of him on the plateau,” Dick suddenly curtsied. “Therefore, sir, thank you for your praise.”
Aaron nodded: "When do you plan to leave?"
"If Peggy's illness doesn't require any attention," Dick replied, "I plan to leave tomorrow morning with them."
Aaron said, "Then, have a safe journey."
"Yes, we will meet again, sir. You know, Peggy's illness is not cured, and—" Dick said, "I still have a book to return."
Aaron smiled and nodded.
In this way, everyone will leave the library.
After that, Peggy finished her check-up and found no other problems.
By evening, Cathy was fully prepared.
Aaron then gave Cathy a black and white parrot and told her how to use it.
In any case, this trip for the two of them is bound to be fraught with danger.
With the black and white parrot by their side, they would still have a chance to ask Aaron for help when they were truly desperate.
The next morning, everyone set off.
After saying goodbye to Aaron, the four walked onto the path at the corner.
Aaron watched them go for a while, took a deep breath, and then turned and went back to the library.
That matter should be moved forward.
