In the end, the matters with Silver Ice Hunter Clan concluded on Ace's terms. Not only Alina's parents agreed to follow his plan to evacuate the blood continent, but they ambitiously requested him to bring Alina back once they were done 'adventuring.'
Ace had no qualms with this demand as he was planning on doing it anyway. At least his opinion of Alina's parents slightly increased after they accepted his demands without causing any trouble.
On the other hand, Alina was the happiest after receiving her parents' blessings. She might not show it, but she was anxious about her parents' reaction to this matter. But it ended up quite well, and now, she can follow Ace without any burden on her heart, and the Silver Ice Clan can thrive with all resources Ace has compromised for her.
However, on this joyous occasion, Herman requested to talk with Ace in privacy, and Ace accepted it despite Winter's misgivings.
