Bab 302: They Fear Him

"Would you stop pacing, mother? I'm sure they're fine." 

"Why does it seemed that you are so utterly unconcerned, Caelum? Your sisters should have been back weeks ago, yet I've heard nothing! Does that not worry you?"

"Not particularly." Caelum replied as he continued to flip through his book absentmindedly. 

In Renanin, Erica Vermillion and her only son Caelum were on a terrace in their castle. 

For over a month now, neither of them had received so much as a letter from the two princesses. 

They had claimed that they were bored of being cooped up at home and wanted to go on a bit of a vacation and travel the world for a while. 

Erica was surprised but... what could she do?

Her daughters literally never asked her for anything, so when she was confronted with such a simple request for the first time, she had no idea how to refuse.
