In this chapter, we learn that Beretta has sworn an oath to obey the orders of her master. She's also sworn to keep the children safe, but she doesn't know what to do with them. She tells us that she's been teaching the children, and that's all that matters to her. She says that she plans to stay in the city until the children are safe, and then she'll go back to the city. But first, she wants to know what's going on with the children. She asks if anyone's had any major problems, and if so, she says that everyone's doing well. She also says that if Mjurran can beat her, she'd call him "boss" from now on, and she promises that if he can't, she won't let him become his disciple. But before they start fighting, she tells him that he's a wizard, so he can choose what he wants to do. He says that the party leader insists that they all have a good time, so they should have a laugh, too. He also tells her that he knows that she joined up with the group only to get into the city, and he says that joining up with him was only a way to get there. He's not sure why Beretta would want to contact him directly, but he tells her to send him a message of encouragement. He tells her not to worry, because he'll give her a final order to keep her safe until the time comes.
