In the end, Trick accepted his kindness.
"Trick, is it just you and your younger brother living here?" Allen chatted with Trick as he ate.
"It's just my brother and me now. My father was a soldier. He once served King Menethil.
"But war is cruel. Seven years ago, he died in a noble rebellion. To honor his bravery, the king bestowed the army's knight training method and a bounty on our family. Not long after Father died in battle, Mother passed away too."
"I'm sorry for bringing up such painful memories." He felt somewhat apologetic, but Trick shook his head to show that he did not mind at all.

"Mage Allen, this is for you." Allen immediately recognized what he was holding. It was the Moonshadow Flower.
"Why? I haven't cured your brother yet." Allen was surprised by his gesture.
Trick immediately explained, "I've taken Therris to many priests and physicians. Although I've never given up hope, the truth is that hope has been slipping further and further away from me.
"Even if you can't save him, I won't blame you. Consider this payment in advance." Allen looked at him, somewhat hesitant, but Trick continued to insist, so he accepted it without saying anything.

But he was gentle and friendly, completely unlike the people Trick had met before, with their arrogant faces, cold eyes, and even delight in his misfortune.
Most importantly, he could clearly feel that Allen was doing everything
