While Lothur was smiling at the improvements in his mental attributes, Elke stood beside her parents in a luxurious dining hall.
As usual, she was very well-dressed, with her wavy red hair loose on her shoulders, showing some of her recent happiness.
Her mother saw that her daughter had improved a lot in the last few days, seeming to be more relaxed about her fears and even more beautiful than ever.
'What's happening with her? Has something occurred?' Hilda paid attention to Elke's face, which still showed her recent improvements despite her worried look.
As her father tasted a steak and her mother analyzed her, Elke finally exposed the worries of her heart.
"Father, what do you want by inviting Lothur to dinner?" She looked at the man sitting at the end of the table they were at, feeling her heart leaping with worry in her chest.
"Nothing much..." Gomeric replied, still looking down at his plate, barely able to contain the smile on his face.
