Synopsis

Penelope successfully requests a swordsmaster for Eclis, but learns it can't be a family knight due to Eclis's past. She receives a rare Pelapopinyu bird, which is linked to a past birthday wish, as a gift from Derrick. Derrick attempts a veiled apology and hints at a changed approach, but Penelope ultimately rejects his attempts at reconciliation, stating she has no expectations of him and will take responsibility for herself.
