I'm Sorry

"Please come in, everyone. Uncle Rory is very sorry because he forgot to invite you to his party a few years ago. He is indeed not very good at throwing parties. Auntie Portia, I hope you would forgive him ..." Aleksis welcomed them in with a cheerful expression.

Uncle Rory?

Alaric's head instantly became heavy.

Portia and Ned nodded and followed Aleksis into the castle. Their first impression of the girl was very pleasing and Portia's annoyance at Lauriel had diminished a little from hearing her explanation.

"Then where is your future husband?" Portia asked her. Now she was curious to see Lauriel's son who was getting married tomorrow. She wanted to know what kind of person he had chosen to be his heir.
