Third person POV
Later at breakfast, Emi announced that she'll be going to her clan's estate to make amends with her grandfather and current clan head, Hikari Kawabata, for her past mistakes. Robert and the others totally agreed with her and wanted to accompany her, too. Emi realized that she can't just do it alone, and she responded with gratitude, "Thank you so much!"
"Yeah, no problem," Robert happily replied.
"We're your friends, " Peter added.
"That's the right thing to do," Sol commented Emi's decision.
"We'll come!" Zarah added, too.
And so, after breakfast and dressing up, they all went down to the Kawabata clan, which was located east of downtown, on foot and Emi knocked on the main front doors.
Then, someone opened it, and it was Masanori.
"Oh, hi there, cous," he greeted.
He then saw Robert, one of his students, and his group being with her.
"Robert-kun? William-kun?" he asked them. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Hi, sensei," William greeted back positively.
"How are you?" Sol added.
"Oh, hi there, Sol-san," Masanori responded. "You're with them, too?"
"Yes."
Then, Emi said to Masanori, "I'm here to make amends with grandpa."
Masanori was surprised to hear that because he knew that Emi never did anything wrong before. "Why? What did you do, Emi-chan?"
"I'll tell you when we are in the main house," Emi responded back. Then to Robert and the others, "Come on, guys. Let's go in."
And so, all of them went in, and Masanori shut the door normally.
Shortly thereafter, they arrived at the main house and went in. Hikari, Masanori and Emi's paternal grandfather, then looked at them, interrupting his reading time. To give the old man respect, Robert and his group, besides Emi and Masanori, bowed their heads deeply for a few seconds.
"Greetings, sir," Robert greeted in their behalf. "My name is Robert Lightningheart, of the Lightningheart and the Windheart clans."
"Hmm," Hikari responded while staring at them and examining directly at Robert's clan uniform. "You're a hybrid?"
Masanori then stepped in and replied, "Yes, he is. He's one of my students at Peacewood Magic Academy."
Then, Sol stepped in and added, "He's one of my valuable students."
"I see," Hikari replied. He then looked at Emi, and said to her, "Emi, what brings you here? It's been so long."
Emi then kneeled on one knee. "Grandpa, I'm here to make amends."
"Why? What did you do to bring shame to our family name?"
"I committed some crimes and became a member of a group that seeks to overthrow the current dynasty of Saheda," Emi admitted in response.
This shocks the clan head and his two sons, Yuki and Yui, their wives and children, and Masanori himself, while Robert, Sol, and his group stayed the same in terms of reaction since they already knew that.
"What?" Yuki commented. "Why would you do that?"
Yuki was Emi's father.
"Cous!" Masanori responded in scolding.
"Overthrowing the Hal dynasty?" Hikari added.
"Yes, but I reflected on my actions and switched sides before that actually happened," answered Emi back.
And then, Robert stepped in and responded, "She was also given a pardon by the king in return of her surrender."
"Oh, he did?" Yuki asked back.
"Yes, sir." Harold chimed in, "and she's free now. But, she wants to reconcile with you and this clan."
At that point, Hikari, Yuki, and Yui began to think about this, including its benefits and possible downsides.
