"That's great! It'll be much easier for me to take you along now!" Akegu said joyfully, then couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Your father is an Illyrian, how did he end up marrying a Latin woman?"
Rochemnix didn't shy away from the question and said candidly, "Years ago, my father hijacked the merchant ship my mother was on—"
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
"It's alright. That's just how pirate families are. Even though life in our village is a bit rough, my mother is very happy now..." Rochemnix responded earnestly before asking curiously, "Earlier, I heard your leader say I'd be assigned to the Secretary Department. What is that?"
Akegu thought for a moment and explained, "The Secretary Department is a newly established... organization in our Nix Tribe, directly under the leader's command. The people working in it are all around our age."
