So let me get this straight. This little boy risked his own life and sustained terrible injuries to save the useless 'lord's daughter' who can't pull her own weight and doesn't even believe ships can float, and it turns out the whole incident was staged by Holo with the 'lord's daughter' girl being in on it?

Daughter.
[..]"Wha...? I... but... the lord of the mansion is... God?"

What the hell? That's a child, Holo.
