Killeon desperately trying to describe Edith to a possible witness, immediately gets distracted and starts bragging about how cool and pretty she is instead, lmao. Still, it was really sweet to hear him fully express how much she means to him, at long last.
And I'm happy to see dear ol' pops taking Cliff to task for abandoning his duty. The loyal male lead who'll drop everything to run to the main character's aid is a typical romantic scene in a drama, but as a sworn knight of the royal family, it's not really acceptable. I suppose that, if the author's influence was still strong, the duke would be more sympathetic to Cliff's reasoning.
