After enjoying the sunset, the newly-arrived guests cleaned up and rested for a while in their respective rooms. They went down to the dining room on the first floor for dinner at around 8 pm.
They ate at a very long dining table, styled like one of those dining tables in the ancient noblemen's castles, that could accommodate up to dozens of people. They enjoyed a warm dining atmosphere while talking about various things.
Aleksis' birthday party the next day was prepared to be a simple celebration in the beautiful garden behind the castle. Alaric's foster children would come to celebrate. This would be the first opportunity for all of them to meet each other.
