"My poor Linus..."
Soraya heard Ronan's response, softly called out, and stretched out her hands to gently embrace him.
Ronan, caught off guard, was initially stiff, but gradually relaxed.
He began to slowly settle into the role of "Linus," although what he talked about was mostly his own experience.
The interruption of the metal box's inheritance for several generations provided him with the perfect cover; he didn't need to lie, because all the secrets of the "Lansite Family" were hidden in the box, and before it was opened, no one knew them.
Soraya kept asking him various things, and Ronan answered each one. He could feel that during this process, Soraya's affection for him grew warmer and she became increasingly close to him.
Time passed without notice, and when Soraya fully accepted Ronan as a "relative," she stopped her questioning and looked at him with a face full of motherly love, "Do you plan to follow me in the future, or continue to stay in the Magic Ring?"
