After breakfast, Ethan privately talked with his mother and let her know that he would be leaving Caer Wydion soon.
He also said that he forgave her for abandoning him when he was still a baby and destroying his Magic Circuits.
The young man understood that the circumstances had forced his mother to do the things she had done—it was not because she didn't want him but because it was the only way to save his life.
Catherine became emotional and hugged Ethan tightly. This matter had been one of the things that had been weighing down on her heart for the past eighteen years.
After regaining her composure, she asked Ethan if he wanted to meet his father.
Ethan agreed, but he said that he would need to leave Caer Wydion in a week.
He also invited Catherine to come with him to the Shire Continent and meet his grandparents, as well as attend his wedding with Lily.
Catherine naturally agreed. There had much to say to Agnes and Benjamin, who had raised her son.
