Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, and hours into days. Things started becoming normal at the Cursed Castle as no one ever discussed the incident of whatever happened on the day of Annalise's visit to the Royal Palace.
Since she needed time to think through the matter, or more like needed a break from it, the dark lords decided to give it to her and focus their attention on other important things for the time being.
The special guests at the castle were more or less now a part of the little family and almost everyone had opened up with each other. These days, it was a common sight to see all the lords and ladies in the house present for the meals in the dining room and spending some time together discussing things either related to normal life or the case of the Portal Hall incidents.
