With the village receiving a lot of attention, Alayna didn't forget that she still has other businesses that needed to be managed. After a wonderful talk with Merita, Alayna decided to close the shop for a while.
She took Merita back to the Dark Forest, the schools were about to open and it's been a while since they have been back there.
The happiest person to see them was Olinda, the girl had been alone and only accompanied by the servants and it was boring. It wasn't the same without the others and she wished that she had gone with them.
So, seeing them back, Olinda was so jovial she showed it by preparing a feast for the family. Merita was also happy to reunite with her older sister, after all, it was lonesome for her in the village.
The village was good and all, but her mother was so busy that she didn't have time to play with her or be with her. it was the same as being alone, so returning home was the best.
