Archer nodded when he heard Cassandra speak, and they were led back to the hall.
As they walked through the hallways, he noticed the artwork, particularly a picture of a man who hadn't been introduced or mentioned.
Curious, he asked Hemera, "Who is the young man in the paintings? I know your eldest brother is on a campaign against pirates."
At the mention of her brother, Hemera's expression turned sad, and she fell silent.
But her sister, Despina, spoke up, "That was our big brother, Leonidas. He vanished 21 years ago."
Archer, noticing the sorrow in their eyes, asked gently, "If you don't mind me asking, what happened to him?"
The girls went silent, seemingly remembering something they didn't want to share.
Archer decided not to press further, and then Cassandra spoke up, "Wait until we are sitting down, and I'll tell you the tale of our oldest son."
