They were willing to perpetuate lies rather than let their own sister reclaim her rightful position.

"Yes, we share the same blood, but relationships don't grow without effort. The time for building any bond with them is long gone. When I came back, their loyalty was already with Shiloh. They would prefer I didn't exist.

"When I leave Jensburg, I'll only send my dad a small monthly allowance out of duty. If you think it's unnecessary, I won't even do that.

"I'm coming with you," Liberty replied, following her outside.
