Lauriel's Request

The dinner was almost over when Lauriel asked his two children to join him in the Holodeck on the second floor. Alaric and Nicolae accepted their father's request, however, both had no idea what it was about. Alaric looked at Aleksis only to receive a thoughtful smile.

Aleksis was indeed the goddaughter of Lauriel Medici. She already knew what Lauriel was planning to do with his own children.

As for her father, Caspar, he had an inkling too and smiled and nodded at Lauriel. It must be about Princess Luna. The day's finally arrived, Caspar thought. He hoped that Lauriel would reconcile with his past and let her go. It seemed that Nicolae wasn't the only one who had been able to move on.

 The guests moved to the living room and enjoyed their drinks and chats, Aleksis, Finland and Kara played with the children while the three men walked to the second floor of the castle into the Holodeck.
