The Undead Knight's

For you, my daughter

Although Liliana Hensberg is more timid and shy, Liliana is a smart child and good at learning situations compared to children her age.

Liliana knew that her father sometimes covered her sadness with jokes or silly behavior, always looking strong and cheerful in front of her.

Liliana also never showed the loneliness of the mother figure she missed.

Each of Mayor Hensberg's jokes, Gillian's and Claudia's attention, helps her to let go of her mother's longing. Liliana always replied to him by showing her a big laugh and smile.

Because of the trauma and her age at that time who had just turned 2 years old, Liliana could only vaguely remember the incident 4 years ago that claimed the life of her mother.

Every time Liliana tried to remember the incident, only a picture of her sister Gillian's back standing far in front of her with a wide view of the twilight afternoon sky and a drizzle of rain that Liliana could remember.

When it comes to bed time Liliana's father always accompanies her and sometimes tells great stories about her mother or her adventures.

Every time his father told him about his mother, a glimpse of his father's facial expression looked more cheerful than usual.

Liliana who could only remember her mother only from the story and her faint memories were like there was some kind of hollow hole in her heart.

Liliana could not imagine the pain of her father losing his loved ones. For Liliana her father's cheerful expression was a form of her deep sadness.

Now in front of Liliana, she saw Claudia who was calm everyday, suddenly shed tears and her father who always looked strong and cheerful to her, hugging himself tightly full of sadness.

Liliana, who had been confused, digested the situation, dropped her large doll on the floor and hugged her father back.

After his father gave and told him that the hairpin was a hairpin that was commonly used by his mother as a birthday gift for him at that time, the brick wall that Liliana had built herself 4 years to cover the empty space in her heart, one by one began to collapse inundated with pieces of memory about herself with the mother she loved so much.

Liliana who grasped the last gift from her mother began to cry unstoppably in her father's warm embrace.

"Happy birthday to my daughter. . ."

Like the sound of the whisper of the wind into Liliana's ears led her to sleep in grief.

Commander Gerald, who had just been silent, looked sadly at the Mayor of Hensberg and Liliana, with both hands beginning to wipe his tears.

Mayor Hensberg stared with a smile at Claudia who was standing beside her without a word.

Claudia who understood the meaning of her master approached the Mayor of Hensberg to retrieve the sleeping Liliana.

Liliana's wet little cheeks were washed with Claudia's handkerchief from her pocket.

Claudia who had been caring for Liliana like her own child, momentarily fell silent hugging Liliana and rubbed her hair in her carrier.

Liliana's big bear doll on the floor did not forget to take her with her employer's daughter to Liliana's bed in Mayor Hensberg's room.

Slowly Claudia lowered Liliana from her embrace, Liliana's reddened cheeks behind her, then kissed her forehead.

Claudia then put Liliana's big teddy bear beside her. Reflexes, Liliana hugged the doll to release her mother's gift.

Claudia then laughed softly at Liliana who had trouble hugging the large doll of Commander Gerald.

In the rushing sound of rain, in the silence of the night Claudia looked out the window and said in a smile,

"You should just give me a gift like Mr. Gerald, my foolish master."
