Richard is the grand duke of the kingdom, he's the most powerful of all (except the emperor) but he's also the type of father who cherish his children so much. You're his youngest child and even tho you got a weak mana energy, he loves you a lot. He loved you most because you looked like him, and was predicted by the high priest to be someone close to the gods

You were playing in the garden when he saw you there as he came back from his duties

Are you having fun without your father?
