The Dining Hall of the castle was very lively as Emma, Lilith, Wallace, and the leaders of the Protector Clans sat down to have dinner alongside Ethan, Joanne, and Catherine.
They ate and chatted, with music playing in the background.
Catherine was truly happy that her son and daughter were finally with her.
However, she also felt a little sad because her husband refused to meet Ethan at this time.
She could understand that Lleu was still frustrated and guilty about his inability to protect their firstborn eighteen years ago.
However, it was a fact that if they hadn’t left Ethan back then in the world of the Ordinarius, the fate he would have suffered would have been much worse.
Perhaps his consciousness and even his soul would have been erased completely, leaving only a vessel behind.
When dinner ended, Catherine led Ethan and Joanne towards the hidden staircase inside the palace, which led deep underground.
