On February twentieth, Virgil said goodbye to the townspeople and his pupils, sharing words of wisdom with the latter (Gulveig +3 Faith, +3 Endurance) before leaving with Theodahad Bors for Marion. The Knight himself, for reasons known only to him, thanked Gulveig for the tour and the "right decision," giving her an accessory he had purchased earlier as a farewell gift (Gulveig + "Shame").
She put on the jewelry and looked at herself in the mirror.
-- Captain of the Knights, Gulveig of Baldr, today you will receive an important guest. Please don't embarrass yourself.
There were tears in her eyes.
-- Mother... Will I really be able to do it? I wish it were sooner, Mother... I promised the teacher that I wouldn't abandon him, so that's what I'll do! Not all Marion Knights are equally helpful. I believe Sir Theodahad wants what's best for the teacher, but I don't know what else he hasn't told me and kept silent about. The other people in Marion – their intentions are unknown, and what they prioritize, politics or Mother's commandments, is unclear. Therefore, my task remains unchanged...
-- Although it will definitely be more difficult with children on my shoulders," Gulveig remembered Virgil's legacy.
By the time of her departure for Tamfana, Vegi had changed significantly. There was much less frivolity in her, which was reflected in her activities. The girl tried not to waste time and developed herself as much as possible, reinforcing the lessons of the teacher. She became stronger and more loyal to her Mother. She spent a lot of time with Elsa, Homeric, and Alric – fully understanding that she could not replace Virgil for them, but, feeling guilty for "orphaning" the children for the second time, she tried to give them as much love as possible.
Before leaving for the city, Gulveig hugged everyone goodbye and promised to bring gifts, making sure to ask what everyone was interested in (You can answer in the topic).
