Northern was quite proud of himself. Not only had he been able to get a lead on the issue of his mother, he had landed himself a temporary job at one of the most prestigious citadels in the whole of the Central Plains.
'I'm sure father is going to be shocked…'
The headmaster, Thalen, had insisted that he should make himself comfortable in the citadel, while he sent escorts to bring his father and Ryan.
Northern liked the idea; he was tired from walking around to begin with, so he easily consented to it.
He retreated to dinner, after which he was shown to a luxurious bedroom.
The last time Northern could remember being anywhere this good or even close was in the kingdom of the red mine.
Although his memory from that time was vague, he still remembered living alone in a large, aged room of luxury.
'That can be considered as something too.'
