Dialogue Transcript The Mansion Awaits Spring — Chapter 41 99
IMPERIAL PALACE GREENHOUSE GARDEN
HMM...
IT CERTAINLY FEELS RATHER WARM TO BE DRINKING TEA IN A GREENHOUSE.
YOUR HIGHNESS, THE CHIEF RESEARCHER HAS ARRIVED.
YOU SUMMONED ME, YOUR HIGHNESS?
AH, YES.
I WANTED TO ASK HOW FAR THE RESEARCH HAS PROGRESSED.
AS THINGS STAND...
I DOUBT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE MUCH FASTER PROGRESS, BUT...
WE WILL CERTAINLY MEET THE FIVE-YEAR DEADLINE WE PROMISED.
I WASN'T REFERRING TO THE FOG RESEARCH.
WHAT I MEANT WAS...
THE MATTER CONCERNING APRIL LUNOS.
AH, REGARDING THAT...
HAIR SAMPLES ALONE
HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH TO DETERMINE WHY SHE REMAINS UNHARMED BY THE FOG.
UNLESS WE EXAMINE LADY LUNOS IN PERSON...
I DOUBT WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE ANY FURTHER PROGRESS.
HMM...
I SEE. SO HAIR SAMPLES ALONE AREN'T ENOUGH...
YOU MUST ALSO BE AWARE THAT PEZIN, AT THE GRAND DUCHY'S YEAR-END PARTY,
WENT SWIMMING IN THE SEA?
YES, AND APPARENTLY, HE EVEN CAUGHT A COLD...
DESPITE BEING BORN AND RAISED IN THE GRAND DUCHY,
SEEING HIM GET CAUGHT UP IN SUCH BIZARRE ANTICS AFTER SPENDING SO LITTLE TIME THERE...
MAKES ME CONCERNED FOR HIM.
I HATE TO THINK THAT MY CONCERN MIGHT MAKE IT SEEM AS THOUGH I'M QUESTIONING PEZIN'S LOYALTY, BUT...
EVEN SO...
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO ADVANCE OUR RESEARCH.
LADY APRIL...
LADY APRIL... MUST BE BROUGHT TO THE EMPIRE.
APRIL HAS ARRIVED IN OUR TERRITORY?
EXPLAIN EVERYTHING PROPERLY,
KAYANI.
KAYANI MORROW
SHE'S PERSONALLY DELIVERING OBITUARY NOTIC FOR THE FORMER HEAD OF THE FAMILY TO THE RELATIVES OF HOUSE LUNOS.
They Say We're Fifth On Her List.
YOU WENT AND DID SOMETHING COMPLETELY POINTLESS...
WHY ON EARTH DID YOU GO ALONG WITH THAT RIDICULOUS IDEA OF SWIMMING IN THE SEA DURING THE PARTY?
HONESTLY, I I GREW UP WATCHING FATHER DO IT...
...SO I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY IT MYSELF.
WHAT GOOD COULD POSSIBLY COME FROM FROM ASSOCIATING WITH HOUSE LUNOS?!
YOUR MOTHER'S BLOOD RUNS THROUGH YOUR VEINS,
SO YOU'RE AN IMPERIAL CITIZEN, TOO...!
ARE YOU TRYING TO DENY YOUR OWN BLOOD?!
I'M NOT DENYING YOU, MOTHER,
I SIMPLY WANT TO EMBRACE WHO FATHER IS, TOO.
AND WHAT HAS HOUSE LUNOS EVER DONE FOR YOU?
JUST LOOK AT THE OTHER RELATIVES IN THAT FAMILY!
HAS HELPING ONE ANOTHER EVER ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING?!
YOUR FATHER ABANDONED THE FAMILY NAME OF HIS OWN ACCORD,
AND, UNABLE TO BEAR THE GUILT,
HE EVENTUALLY LOST HIS ABILITY TO SPEAK!
EVEN SO, THE PLACE WHERE I WAS BORN AND RAISED,
AND THE PEOPLE I SPENT MOST OF MY CHILDHOOD WITH, WERE ALL PART OF HOUSE LUNOS, WEREN'T THEY?
I DON'T WANT TO DENY THAT,
NOR DO I WANT TO TURN MY BACK ON IT.
WHAT'S SO WONDERFUL ABOUT THAT DAMN HOUSE LUNOS...?!
FINE.
IF YOU LOVE HOUSE LUNOS SO MUCH, THEN YOU CAN RECEIVE HER YOURSELF.
I'LL GO GREET HER PERSONALLY, THEN.
THAT'S RIGHT. I'D ALREADY DECIDED TO PUT THIS FLOWERPOT IN JEFF'S ROOM.
I MIGHT AS WELL MOVE IT NOW.
I'M ONLY MOVING IT BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE MOVED ANYWAY.
IT'S NOT AS THOUGH I'M SOMEONE WHO GOES OUT OF WAY TO MOVE THINGS THINGS AROUND FOR NO REASON...
I'M DEFINITELY NOT TRYING TO COINCIDENTALLY RUN INTO THAT CHILD. NOT AT ALL...
...SEVEN YEARS.
...SEVEN YEARS. AN ENTIRE SEVEN YEARS.
THE LITTLE GIRL WHO HAD FOUGHT ALL ALONE...
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, AUNT.
...HAD BLOSSOMED INTO A GROWN WOMAN.
...YES,
IT TRULY HAS BEEN A LONG TIME.
YOU ALREADY KNOW WHY I'M HERE
FROM THE RUMORS, DON'T YOU?
SHE'S PERSONALLY DELIVERING OBITUARY NOTICES FOR THE FORMER HEAD OF THE THE RELATIVES OF HOUSE LUNOS.
I'M SO SORRY,
IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF ME...
EVEN MY HUSBAND, THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF THE FORMER HEAD OF HOUSE LUNOS,
WHEN FACED WITH THE DEATHS OF THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY.
COMPLETELY FELL APART
HAVING WATCHED HER PARENTS DIE RIGHT BEFORE HER EYES,
AND NOW, SEVEN YEARS LATER, HAVING TO DELIVER OBITUARY NOTICES ASKING PEOPLE TO ATTEND THEIR FUNERAL... WHO COULD POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH?
...WHO COULD POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH?
COME WITH ME FOR A MOMENT.
AH, AUNT?
Mother...?
YOU!!
HOW MUCH LONGER ARE YOU GOING TO CARRY ON LIKE THIS?!
DO YOU EVEN REALIZE WHO'S HERE RIGHT NOW?!
THIS PLACE IS...
...UNCLE'S STUDY?
STOP HIDING AWAY LIKE SOME BROKEN RECLUSE
YOU SHOULD AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING TO HER!!
ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT FOREVER, EVEN EVEN IN FRONT OF YOUR OWN NIECE?!
!!!
EVEN IF YOU WON'T SPEAK TO ME, AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING TO YOUR NIECE!
YOU SHOULD AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING TO HER!!
UNCLE...?
Chapter Summary
Chapter 41 of The Mansion Awaits Spring opens with April personally delivering the former family head's death notices to relatives, triggering the plan to bring her to the Empire. In the Imperial greenhouse garden, the Chief Researcher says the mist research and April's immunity to the mist could not be solved with hair samples. The swimming incident at Pezin's year-end party and his argument with his mother over his loyalty to House Lunos take place. April visits her aunt, guilt is discussed, and she is taken to confront her uncle, who has lost his ability to speak.
