After Vayne's father had flown away and only Stroph, his family and Charles were left in the entire hall, they all together began to enjoy a family dinner.
Charles had long since become more than just Stroph's best friend to Amber, Elizabeth, and Robert, but a full-fledged member of their family.
Since Stroph had ordered the entire menu, they had plenty of food, most of which was eaten by Stroph and Amber. For unclear reasons Robert and Elizabeth had two real gluttons.
Charles, on contrary, was eating in small portions and drinking warm tea, at the same time enjoying the family comfort and admiring the beautiful sunset that was coming to the end.
They talked about distracted topics, joked about silly things, said ridiculous things, and just let their feelings run wild. Unlike Stroph, who hadn't seen them in only about a year, to everyone else he was gone for a very long time and even dead.
