Aldrian walked outside the mansion with a heavy heart. To be honest, he had known for a long time that Eleine would eventually have to return to his mother's side. She was supposed to be by her side as her retainer, assisting her in every way, yet instead, she had accompanied him on his journey.
Since they had always been together, from their time in the secret realm until now, it made him feel lost and saddened to hear her say that she would be leaving soon. Although he had gained many acquaintances, friends, and even a lover, Eleine, who had always been by his side, held a special place in his heart.
Trying not to drown in his sorrow, he exhaled and forced himself to stay positive.
"Yes, Mother must miss Eleine as well. They haven't seen each other in over six years. With Eleine returning to her side, she will have her trusted companion again. Mother needs her, especially after losing Cecile. Eleine and Mother can support each other once more," he thought to himself.
