As Ian left the training room and made his way outward, a maid waiting outside quickly bowed and conveyed his father's orders to him.
"Young Master, Lord has asked you to go to the study room if your training is over."
"Hm... okay."
Ian could guess why they were asking him to come. It was most likely related to the upcoming trial.
As he quickly made his way to the study room, he saw his father, Eldric, his mother, Elara, and Lyra sitting and talking together.
Seeing that they were busy with each other, he didn't disturb them and sat on a chair next to them.
"Are you sure you don't want to return home first?"
Elara asked Lyra, holding her hands in distress. Ian noticed she was gripping Lyra's hands quite tightly, as if afraid Lyra would disappear the next second.
"Aunty, I'm sure. I already talked with them. Mom already knows."
Lyra replied softly as if trying to soothe Elara.
