Loriel stayed in Summeria for a couple of years and helped assist his nephew by giving him advice on how to rule. However, he mostly kept to himself and instead chose to remain in his wife's chamber and stay with Brick.
The time in Cretea changed him and most especially, realizing how much Elise mattered to him made Loriel look and reminisce inside of her old study because there was nothing else that he could.
All Loriel could do was wait and he would do it wholeheartedly.
He wept when the old cat finally died and then stayed in Summeria until Loriel himself had to see his royal butler buried. He said the oaths of funeral passing for Horatio who took care of him even while he was a child.
After that time period, Loriel chose to leave.
