Bab 656: GOODBYE DELRYRIA (FOR NOW)

AFTER their conversation with Reas, the three headed back toward the house. Along the way, they crossed paths with the three Grimaldi men, who appeared to be returning to the house as well. 

As soon as Anthony spotted Emmaline, he wasted no time. "Emmaline," he began, "may I have a word with you? And with your husband as well?"

Emmy raised a brow, curious by what the other might want to discuss. Before responding, she looked to her husband. Gage offered a subtle nod, signaling he didn't mind. Turning back to her father, she replied, "Sure."

After Emmy agreed, Casey suddenly stepped up to Reas, draping an arm over his shoulders.

"My dear nephew," he said with a grin, "how about spending a little quality time with your uncles before we leave the planet?"

Reas looked utterly bewildered as Casey pulled him along, leaving him no chance to protest. Thomas trailed behind the two, leaving only Emmy, Gage, and Anthony standing there.
