Summary
Natushi is stuck in a difficult place. Her servants are incompetent, her daughter is a failure, she's having reprehensible thoughts of Eva, and she's loving Krauss less each day. Luckily, she always has Kinzo by her side. That loving father, that man who sees how noble she truly is. Although his body is cold and hard, Kinzo can always comfort her in her time of need. Affirm her, give her the right advice. With Father, everything will be okay in the end.
Just a little longer until Krauss settles their debt, then Kinzo can rest. Krauss is taking a very long time scrounging up those funds, though, what if Natsuhi solved the epitaph and got the gold? What if she herself was granted the headship? Natsuhi could imagine the look on everyone's faces. How Eva would apologize for treating her so cruelly. How everyone would look up to her. How proud Kinzo would be. Natsuhi wouldn't be some borrowed womb, some maidservant anymore. Beloved, respected, acknowledged, full of pride. Just like the Head himself.
