Chapter 21 - Lunch and dinner

Alastair was the first one to arrive at the dining hall, maybe because he had returned to the castle in a rush and had ended up being early in time. He sat in his seat and waited for the others to arrive. During his entire life, Alastair had never started his breakfast without his family and today would be the last day when they would be having their breakfast together until next time. His parents were moving out the next day and he wanted to spend as much time with them as possible before they left. Though he had the option of going to the Fall Castle which would his parents' future residence whenever he wanted, he would still be missing them dearly.
