The duke directed them to his study which was on the second floor of the mansion.

While they walked through the hallway, Arvell was able to glimpse at the Silvercolt family's vast wealth.

'It seems that defending their country during the war has made them quite profitable.'

He could see their house's crest decorating various tapestries and even a statue of a silver griffin.

It wasn't long before they reached the study.

Since all the butlers and maids had left them earlier, Rupert had taken the lead and opened the door for the duke.

The group followed the duke and slowly filed into the room.

Angela and Zenos's mother was still clinging to him as if he would disappear at any moment.

Zenos naturally understood their fears and bore with them.

Even if he was a little embarrassed by their over-the-top affection…

The duke instructed them all to sit down on the nearby sofas.

Arvell, Rupert and Uriel sat on one side, while Zenos and his family sat on the other.
