About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Mr. Charne experiences an intense moment of panic when confronted with the presence of the Patriotic Master, a figure with a troubled past whom Charne previously considered a formidable adversary. Talula, a member of the Unified Integration Movement, reveals that the once mighty Patriotic Master is now in a desperate situation, struggling with the impending loss of his daughter due to Oripathy, a debilitating disease. The movement has leverage over him, knowing he will comply with their demands as long as his daughter’s health is at stake. Meanwhile, on a ship belonging to Rhodes Island, two characters, Meowy and Snow Rabbit, discuss the challenges of their roles in the ongoing events in Kasimir. Snow Rabbit feels frustrated by her character's limitations, and Meowy tries to assure her of her worthiness. The scene shifts back to Charne, who wrestles with the implications of Talula's assessments of the Patriotic Master’s predicament, realizing the stakes of his survival in this competitive scenario. The narrative then transitions to the Nearl family mansion, where Maria finds herself overwhelmed by reporters seeking information about her potential as an Infected Knight. Her aunt, Sofia, intervenes by dispelling the crowd with her assertive demeanor, highlighting the contrast between their family’s aristocratic values and the chaotic interest from the outside world. Sofia expresses both frustration and concern for Maria’s actions that led to the current media frenzy and urges her to take her knightly responsibilities seriously. Maria, feeling the weight of her choices, expresses a determination to participate despite Sofia's warnings. Orson, accompanying them, draws attention for his unexpected presence but remains cheerful and unaware of the complexity surrounding Maria’s situation. Sofia insists that for Orson's safety and reputation, he cannot continue living with Maria, proposing instead to buy him his own house to avoid any potential scandals arising from their relationship. The chapter culminates with Orson’s realization of the casual and comfortable nature with which Sofia discusses purchasing a house, contrasting sharply with his previous circumstances. As they prepare for their next steps, the relationships within the Nearl family and the role of Infected Knights in the changing social dynamics of Kasimir are further explored.
