By the time the three of them got back home, it was almost midnight. Arthur took Saly to a few more dungeons where she demonstrated her full power and managed to gain some levels and experiences at the same time.
The night was supposed to end but Arthur had one final errand before it was time for sleep. He left Saly with Lucy for some time as he opened a portal and traveled to Astria, more precisely, to Rey's room.
Previously, he left without receiving an answer from the sly kid and that's to leave him some time to think about it. Obviously, he wasn't going to let him ponder over such a matter forever, a day is more than enough to sort out his thoughts and make a decision, that could potentially change his future, if it's grasped, that is.
In the dark room, where there's nothing but a few decorations, a simple yet comfortable bed, and a normal desk, there was a lone and short figure standing at the center.
