After returning to Helia's Castle, Vaan joined Helia Ashenborn for dinner in the Great Hall. The table and chairs were already set up, and the food was already laid out upon his arrival.
Surprisingly, only Helia Ashenborn was present at the dining table.
Helia Ashenborn waved her hand and dismissed Hester Thornton and the rest of the servants from the Great Hall, leaving Vaan and her alone.
"I'm sure you've already heard from Hester, but please join me for dinner, Sir Vahn," Helia Ashenborn gestured to the seats in front of her before continuing, "You don't have to worry about my daughters joining us for dinner."
"I've sent them elsewhere to make it more comfortable for you," Helia Ashenborn added.
Evidently, Helia Ashenborn hadn't overlooked her daughters' attitude during their first meeting with Vaan and was aware of their condescending attitudes.
