At the secret location where Alina was kept.
Lillian, her Royal Maid, was looking at veiled Alina with a horrid expression as if she had seen a ghost. She wasn't alone as another 6'2 feet tall, long silver hair hunter with a wizened face, giving off a scholarly yet distant aura, was also frowning darkly.
Herman was the famous butler of the Silver Ice Hunter Clan. Even the Ice Lord and Ice Queen respectfully called him Uncle, and he was also Alina's godfather, and she called him Grandpa.
Herman was probably closer to Alina than her own parents as she was brought up by him from the time she was a baby and also didn't know her parents existed or the truth about herself and her noble identity.
However, after she got captured by Dream Shatter, she became extremely distant from Herman as well, who came to take her back but ended up with her.
