Dinner ended on a peaceful note, Abrielle led her parents to their room while Cedric handled Callista and Lucian. Abrielle was genuinely curious why the lead couple had visited the castle uninvited
"Have a lovely night," she wished her parents at their door before giving each of them a short hug. She has to act as affectionate as she can since the Nightshade family was rather an affectionate one
It was rare to find such a family in this setting. "We will. Take care of yourself." Pierre replied.
After wishing her family a goodnight Abrielle made her way back to her quarters. She was glad that she survived day one.
Later that night, in a brightly lit study past midnight, there was a knock at the door. Cedric's hand writing on a book halted, hearing the knocking sound. He was certain it wasn't Abrielle because she would not knock.
