Ella Lacey had cried herself into exhaustion...
Finally, in Arthur Lindsey's steadfast embrace, she gradually fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, she was already lying on the large bed inside the mysterious castle.
Outside the window, the dark forest was bathed in a few beams of moonlight, which strayed over the window lattice and cascaded onto the edge of her bed.
They produced a circle of radiant, white light.
Was... she home again?
Ella Lacey rubbed her eyes, and after taking several thorough looks, she finally confirmed — she was back!
She was familiar with everything here; this was the mysterious castle.
"Arthur…" she murmured softly.
Arthur Lindsey didn't make her wait long. He emerged in response, holding a bowl of hot silver fungus and bird's nest soup, "Ella, come drink some, it will warm you up."
