As Rovel steps into the entrance hall, Sauvell and his old mother are already standing in front of him. Sauvell who is supporting their mother is smiling when he sees Rovel.

Rovel: “Esteem Mother!”

Rovel’s Mother: “Aaa. How can it be… It’s really you, Rovel!”

Rovel embraces his mother Isabella with a lot of emotions running inside of him. All the servants in the house who see the reunion between this pair of mother and son are moved to tears and giving them applauses.

Isabella: “You seem well. ………Aaa, but you have changed a lot…”

Isabella stares into Rovel’s eyes while stroking his head affectionately. Isabella's hairs have turned whiter. When Rovel looks at his mother's white hair, he narrows his eyes painfully.

Rovel: “I’m really sorry for being away for so long.”

Isabella: “You have your own thing. You must had thought that you would be forced to marry that woman if you came back. Then you chose not to go back home to avoid that. Just as I thought.”

Rovel: “Have you been waiting for me to go home? It’s my fault. “

Isabella: “But, I never thought that woman would get married to Sauvell…… I heard from Sauvell. You have succeeded in getting rid of her.”

Rovel: “Yeah. I did it because she is the number 1 person that I don’t want to see when I come back home.”

Isabella: “You are right.”

Isabella who is crying and smiling at the same time, waves her handkerchief to urge them to move into another room.

Sauvell: “Everyone, you have endured really well up until today!! That woman has been sent back to the royal family and my bother’s return is also a joyful event. Although it’s just a small party, let’s celebrate it today !!”

All the servants are shouting and cheering at Sauvell’s announcement.

Rovel: “Let’s have a chat while we are waiting until they finish the party preparation. Then, let’s go.”

Isabella happily holds onto Rovel’s arm when he offers his arm to her. Meanwhile, Sauvell and Lawrence follow them from behind.

Rovel: “Ask some of the maids to pack that woman’s belongings. Send them to the palace by tomorrow. “

Lawrence: “Understood.”

Sauvell: “Albert doesn’t know about our gathering at this place?”

Lawrence: “He was supposed to wait for Lord Rovel return at the entrance, but…”

Sauvell tilts his head and goes toward Rovel to ask if he knows what happens with Albert. When he comes into the room, he politely interrupts the conversation between Rovel and Isabella who are sitting on the chairs.

Sauvell: “Older Brother, do you know where is Albert?”

Rovel: “If you are asking about Albert, I told him to do some penitence.”

Sauvell: “E?”

Rovel: “That guy has a loose mouth. He is not trustworthy. He should be removed from your side. “

Sauvell:”Wha, what did happen?”

Albert has been serving the Vankriff house for nearly 20 years. As a consequence, Sauvell, Isabella and Lawrence are all astounded at Albert's betrayal.

Isabella: “What happens? Please explain.”

Isabella who has just come back promptly from her seclusion is flared up for some explanation on what happens. When She asked Rovel, she made a grim face.

Rovel: “Esteem Mother, I haven’t told you this yet, but in the spirit realm, I got married to my beloved. We also have a daughter.”

Isabella: “Waa…!!”

Rovel: “My hair and eyes are proof that I have become a half spirit. Due to this blessing, my life span has been greatly extended.”

Isabella: “Oh my, that is so enviable. That’s why you do not seem to grow any older.”

Sauvell: “………Esteem Mother.”

Sauvell holds his head over Isabella’s lighthearted remark. Although Sauvell as well was surprised when Rovel told him the news, his mother is too frank with her feelings. In the past, even their father sometimes was astonished by their mother’s boldness.

Isabella: “Did Albert do something related to this fact?”

Rovel: “Yes. Both my wife and daughter are spirits. Even though this confidential matter is only known by Albert, Lawrence, and Sauvell, this matter was leaked to His Highness. His Highness told me that he wished to introduce his son to my daughter.”

Sauvell: “……Such a thing.”

Rovel: “So far, I have been trying to keep my family matter hidden from the royal family………But it’s useless to hide it from His Highness.”

After Rovel said that he lets out a sigh.

Rovel: “The royal family has a curse that prevents them from making contact with spirit. It’s highly possible that His Highness would use my daughter to solve this problem. ………So annoying.”

While Rovel seems to resign about the situation, the corners of Lawrence’s eyes are raised.

Lawrence: “Albert used Lady Ellen as a bargaining chip…”

Rovel : That’s right. Because I was worried about that, I only told about my family to my trusted companions. But…”

Lawrence: “What a betrayal. Do you wish to get rid of him?”

Lawrence's killing intents are on the high. Isabella and Sauvell’s shoulders are shaken due to the shock of seeing him seeking for blood.

Rovel: “………Don’t do it. Esteem Father’s feelings would go into a waste.”
