Philip froze but managed to maintain his composure as he waited for Mrs. Hitter to continue.
"I heard from my brother-in-law, Aram, that today is the day you've completed your observation period and joined the Academe Guild. I suppose I'll see you in the Dream City later then, along with the other members of the Sorrows Guild..."
Mrs. Hitter paused briefly before adding, "Your hotel is lovely, and it exudes warmth. It's my first time visiting the abode of a hotelier spiritualist."
"Yes. yes. Come to think of it... since being a hotelier is one of the rarest spiritualist professions, the kingdom might bestow a noble title and a fief upon you, so be prepared," she continued.
Following his conversation with Adolf, his father, and listening to his mother's insights about nobility, Philip wore a warm smile as he bid farewell to the Hitter family.
Internally, he wondered, 'Was that telepathy?'
