Within the teleportation chamber of Hydral Manor, Seraphina embraced Ansel tenderly, hoisting her luggage with a sprightly air, she exclaimed, "Ansel, Marli and I shall take our leave now!"
Ansel responded with a nod and a smile, "Enjoy yourselves... Marlina, upon your return, do not concern yourself with the affairs of the Red Frost territory. Spend some quality time with Seraphina and rest well."
The serene, snow-haired girl bowed her head slightly, replying softly, "Yes, Mr. Ansel."
Initially, Seraphina had intended to summon her parents to the imperial capital, but it was Marlina who dissuaded her.
With heartfelt sincerity, Marlina explained that their parents would not find joy in the grandeur of Hydral Manor or the capital; instead, they would be overwhelmed with unease and dread. The kindest decision was to leave them in peace.
