[Samael Ashwood's POV]
"Meeting? with the council, perhaps?" I inquired, trying to gauge the gravity of the situation.
"Not this time, my son. This matter is... more delicate," she said, her tone heavy with meaning. "It's just a royal summon..."
"Let me come with you, Mother," I interrupted, feeling a sense of urgency. "I have a bad feeling about this, and I can't let you face it alone."
Elysia gave me a long, searching look before finally nodding. "Very well, Samael. Your presence might indeed be beneficial."
"Thank you," I said, feeling a mix of relief and determination. I turned to the rest of the family. "I'll be back soon. In the meantime, please stay safe and look after each other."
Alice and Sionna both nodded, their concern evident but unspoken. Lily and Liliana gave me encouraging smiles, and I felt a surge of gratitude for their support.
