Hruth and other Elders looked at Althea with a smile on their faces, they were very much satisfied with Althea's modesty which cannot be found in other youths of her age. Although Althea shared a different surname, she carried half of the Baro clan's blood so they were proud of Althea too.
On the other hand, the younger generations of the Baro clan looked at Althea with envy, hatred, and jealousy. They cannot bring themselves to accept the fact that the one whom they had despised and looked down on is now the center of attraction receiving praise and love from all.
Duriaz was extremely happy to learn that his daughter had not only triggered the anomaly but even advanced two stages at one go. "Good, good", Duriaz patted on Althea's shoulder.
The banquet went on for an hour and everyone warmly chatted with each other. Since Duriaz rarely visited the Baro clan due to his status as a City Lord, everyone was happy to have him.
