Synopsis

Casca continues her story. The Band of the Falcon gradually grew in size as time went on, and somehow they kept winning battles, despite being the children of commoners led by a child commoner. Eventually, the band found itself involved in a feudal lord's dispute. The noble in question was very well-off and influential, but his reputation stemmed from his taste for young boys. The young Casca was disgusted at the sight of the feudal lord's child slaves, but she was reassured by Griffith.

One day, following a battle, Griffith, Casca, and Pippin discovered the body of a young boy who had recently joined the band. While Casca never personally knew the boy, Griffith was profoundly affected by his death, realizing that the boy died to help him achieve his dream, and he acknowledged that the boy would gaze at him as though he were a hero. Thereafter, Casca's perspective of Griffith had changed from the idol she once saw him as.
