Fisher didn't plan to send him off, and only after he had explained it once more to Lady Martha did he carry Lingna back to his own room.
He placed her on the sofa and, while wiping her tears with a handkerchief nearby, Fisher asked,
"What's wrong, Lingna?"
At this question, her already dabbed eyes began to overflow with even more tears, unstoppable, and instead of wiping them away, she looked at Fisher and said in a choked voice,
"Sniff... Lots of humans, I don't know why, lots of them searching by the river, they said... they will beat us and take us back for money, because we are Ocean Subhumans... Dad tried to let me and mom go first, and they caught him... We wanted to contact Lord Royal, but mom got hurt, and it's too far for me to go to where the Lord Royal lives..."
"That's why I came looking for you, I heard people talking about your name, and I walked a long way to get here..."
She covered her face and kept shedding tears, and Fisher frowned upon hearing this.
