"At that time, I set off for the good reason, to become a trader, nothing more. And even if she didn't liked that, she must have known that could happen. Cultivating lands was not for me and I didn't wanted to become a fisherman, that's was good for Matteo. But with the trading house taking all the spice market, I had difficulty to find client. If it wasn't for Joe, I think I would not even be able to lived on spice for so long... but if I hadn't been to the the Red Dragon Inn, I might have never become an adventurer either. Every coins have two faces." Rinaldo takes a sip of champagne. "You are true to tells that I should not have left you and the kids behind. But it is partly because of you I left on some adventure. I wanted to make my part to make this world safer. Imagine if Monemvassia would have been rules by a Black Dragon, what threat it would have been. Today, I have enough influence and power to make this world better while staying here, at your side.
And I would not have survived them without you. How many times I should have lose hope, I should have resign because the problem in front of me was too big for me... how many times you and the kids came back to my mind. When darkness was surrounding me, you were my light. I would not have survived my darkest moment without you, and it is in such moment I've seen how lucky I was, how lucky I am."
