章 179: Chapter 179: Farewells and Promises

---

The morning of their departure dawned with a bittersweet stillness over the Asterius estate.

Servants bustled to load carriages with luggage while Dabi, Eli, Mira, ready to leave. Aunt Nazu were in the hospital.

The crisp air carried the faint aroma of the flowers Mira had insisted on planting, a testament to the small but heartfelt mark they had left on this place.

Ravier stood on the estate steps, his imposing figure softened by an air of reluctant acceptance.

His usual stern gaze lingered on his grandchildren, pride and regret mingling in his expression.

"You've done more for this family than many who've borne the Asterius name,"

Ravier said, addressing Dabi directly. "Though you walk your own path, remember that you are always welcome here."

Dabi nodded, his expression calm but respectful. "Thank you, Grandfather. I'll remember your words."
