章 211: Returning Home

"You are leaving already?" Miya looked at Lady Selene with a mixture of surprise and sadness. The children had only just begun to feel safe and comfortable in the academy again, and the thought of someone leaving so soon was unexpected. "Can't you stay another week or so?"

Lady Selene smiled gently, her eyes filled with a maternal warmth. "Sorry, Miya. Aiden and I must return home. There are matters that need our attention, and our family is waiting for us. But remember, we are not far. If you ever need anything, you know where to find us."

Aiden stood beside his mother, looking slightly embarrassed by her words but nodding in agreement. "We'll visit sometimes," he assured the group of friends he made. "And maybe next time, you can visit us."

Samiel stepped forward, his expression calm but sincere. "Safe travels, Lady Selene. And Aiden, take care of yourself. We'll be waiting for your visits."
