After hugging for a minute, Aria, Aldwin, and Alton sat down on their chairs, but this time, Alton pointed at the chair next to him and looked at Maria. "Sister, you can sit here with me."Maria looked towards Aria and nodded to this, so without saying anything, she sat down on the chair next to Alton. As all four of them started talking, Maria was still nervous at the start. Still, after talking for a couple of minutes, she finally relaxed and saw this; all three of them, Alton, Aria and Aldwin were happy.As they were chatting, Alton looked at his father. "Father there were not a lot of people today even uncle was not here." Aldwin looked at his son and answered: "Well, I called this dinner on short notice, so some people informed me beforehand that they were busy somewhere else and your uncle was one of them." Alton nodded to this, and then Aldwin asked, "Why did you ask about your uncle did you want to meet him before leaving."Alton smiled and answered, "No, nothing much I was ju

Alton and Maria appeared before the crowd standing on the staircase, looking down at the people in the main lobby.People in the lobby saw Alton; they went silent, but they also saw a person standing next to him, and looking closely, they recognized that it was Maria, but now she was not in her maid uniform.As Alton saw them all staring at him and Maria, he opened his looked at them and then said, "You all must be wondering why I have called you all here, right?"All the servants nodded to this because two maids came and informed all the staff that the young master was calling everyone in the main lobby, and they had to obey the order because even if they didn't like it, he was their young master.Alton looked at them and then continued, "You all must know by now that I will be leaving the mansion tomorrow for a journey to the north, right." All the servants stayed silent "you also must have also heard today that the Teren meaning has adopted Maria that she will be your young miss fr

As the guests were arriving at the house Aldwin and Aria were standing at the entrance and welcoming them but all the guests coming had a common question why were they invited with their families on such short notice and if there was something important why didn't the count say it tomorrow but Aldwin and Aria were not giving them any kind of answer so they could just wait for the start of the event and then can get their answers.As all the guests came in one by one they were all guided to a different hall than the last night so when guests looked around they noticed a specific individual in the hall they were shocked because that person should not be there. This hall was only used for when the coronation of a family member or when a meeting was held to decide something important that all the family members, brand family members, and retainers had to be included for a decision because this room had the family seats in front of the door and for the rest of the guests there were seats on

Maria looked at Alton with a worried look on her face “Sorry for not telling you before.” Alton smiled and replied, “No problem we will talk later about this for now let’s finish the ceremony first.” Maria smiled and then they both looked towards Aldwin and he nodded looking at them with a smile. Aldwin once again turn towards the crowd and asked in a loud voice “Is there anyone who wants to object now is Maria still not good enough for the Teren family name?” Hearing this all of them stayed silent because they didn’t want to make an enemy of the Count, Countess, and also Maria because without the support of the Teren family she was able to reach the 3rd Star Elementary Mage in her late twenties so with the support of the family she will become even more powerful. Aldwin nodded and then looked at Alfred and said “Let's start the ceremony.” Maria hearing this started walking towards Alfred but this time alone because Alton, Aldwin, and Aria had taken their sea

Maria then asked, “So how did you come back to the past?” Veronica and Cecilia's ears stood because they were curious about this as well, Alton's face expression turned into a sad one and then he answered: “As you all have been in Teren Territory you all must have heard about the dragon tear and its wish right.” Maria, Veronica, and Cecilia nodded because this story was known by all the people in the Empire.The story was that the first head of the Teren family who helped in making the Empire had fought a dragon in the mountains and had almost won against it but he let the dragon go and before leaving the dragon gave him a tear which came out of its eye because it was happy and said that this tear will grand you or your kin one wish when needed.Alton looked at three of them “I wished and that is how I came back in the past.” Maria felt something was not right and then asked “but why will you come back in time and not wish for anything else could it be” before Maria could complete her
