While Ethos and Ron were discussing killing Duke Eldric at the Imperial Academy, Ian had already taken a long bath, feeling refreshed in his mansion.
'Hah... no matter what, a warm and long bath always makes me relaxed,' Ian thought in a good mood.
'Let's eat something now. I haven't eaten anything for more than four months. I'm so hungry,' he smirked and made his way to the kitchen.
Since he came back suddenly, there was a shortage of maids around to take orders, so he had to go himself.
He also needed to meet his mom after that, although he had asked his father to inform her ahead of time.
Just as he was thinking about his plans, he saw two beautiful ladies approaching him with a maid: his mom Elara, and Lyra.
"Ian, are you alright? Oh... I'm so relieved," Elara said in relief upon seeing him, while Lyra nodded with a smile.
"Mom, why are you here?" Ian asked in surprise.
