".Second brother Theo? You survived the invasion of the Flame Empire! What about my first brother Caesar, Grandpa Galan, and Grandpa Brian? Is everyone okay!" Richard stood up slowly, almost unable to believe what he was seeing. His features changed for the first time since he entered the hall, turning from the kind smile that seemed as if nothing would disturb it, to a shock that gilded the minds mixed with some joy. Theo let out a long sigh when he heard this question, and his face changed as if he remembered something he didn't want to remember, ".A lot has happened since the day you and my lady left. The Flame Empire intensified the attack greatly until--- Then we decided to form a battalion and escape, but then---" Richard opened his eyes sometimes in surprise and closed them other times in sorrow. His heart sank in the first half of the story, especially when he heard of the death of his grandfathers and a large number of people he knew when he was young. But he was able to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that his brothers and a good number of the Burton family had survived that massacre. Ever since he escaped that day, he had prepared for himself that he would become an orphan. The fact that there are people remaining from his family is a reason for joy. Theo continued to tell the story til he reached the point where everyone had been rescued from the ambush and began to explain Robin's revenge against the Four Empires and the Ansectral Contenent, but Richard's features changed slightly and he interrupted, "Let's leave this aside for now. How did you convince the Nine Suns Monarch to help you!"
