Ethan spent the night in the Silvermoon Clan's mansion under Aria's care. His injury was minor, so it healed completely after the night's rest.

Later that night, in a small room filled with the fragrant scent of burning incense, Aria's father sat thoughtfully in an armchair. His brother, Aria's uncle, was also present, looking equally contemplative.
"Brother, how should we deal with that boy from now on?" Aria's uncle asked, "Should we still continue with our plan to separate them by force?"
Aria's father shook his head lightly. "No, I don't think so. That boy seems to have a lot of potential, and his background is also mysterious. It's as if he appeared in the city out of nowhere."
"Still, we could have separated them as planned if only the General hadn't intervened. Now, we can't even touch him."
