Absolutely horrible parenting fail. D: But, yeah, that all makes sense. It couldn't have been the most well thought out decision at all. :<

Ah, that's good! Well... good she was spared from watching it, but in that case, bad for Laharl. DX But yeah, she would have worried that whole time he was gone something awful, undoubtedly. :( As much as she's tried not to interfere as a prinny, I can't imagine she'd have sat by idly and let such a thing happen either if she'd been there to see it. She prolly woulda figured out something to do.
