[Cecil gives him a long, searching look. He knows Ceodore is being sincere in his apology, but it doesn't undo the fact that it should have been Ceodore volunteering himself, not shirking his duties. At least Ursula accepted it with good grace.]

I'm sure you know this already, but your knight trial did not end on the Adamant Isle. Knighthood is an ongoing path to be followed, and part of that includes accepting duties required of you, of putting others before yourself.

[He pauses, and his voice drops.]

One day I will be gone, my son, and the throne of Baron will be left to you. I hope you will accept that, when the time comes.

[Or sooner than Cecil thinks if he doesn't snap out of that zombie state he's in at home. Ceodore looks down and stares at the ground. He'd told Rosa once that he didn't want it... and it made her angry. He still doesn't want it, but he just got a fresh reminder about putting duty before self. At first the nod is slow and reluctant, but changes to a firm one and no more looking away.]

I will. I know what I have to do.
