Lind's quarters had been changed in the castle. There were no ornate decorations nor luxurious food and drink present at all. There were practical areas for cooking, bathing, and a rather large bed in the bedroom.
The reason was simple. In the evening after Lind emerged from the Relic, 2 major powers had arrived with a 3rd on the way. The Divine Sword Sect had arrived with the Heavenly Maiden Sect. The Stardust Emporium had sent a party as well but even they could not easily cross the open waters quickly.
Teleportation arrays were not set up anywhere convenient to Altair either as the capital of the Lotus Empire was quite far from the Kingdom of Altair. They also were bringing some gifts so those could not be easily gathered on short notice.
