“I will do whatever it takes to keep my word to my mother. If I have to walk the rest of the way to Golden Court, I will do it. If I have to crawl the rest of the way there, I will do that too, even if I have to leave my pride behind in Ropaz. And if you think I need to be toughened up, in body or in mind, then think again. Because nothing is more certain than my arrival in the golden fairy city by the sea. Do you hear me?”
