Days turned into months, and then a year had passed, with no hope of being able to see Kael again.
The atmosphere in the house had begun to stabilize, at least on the surface level.
Alicia's father had always been busy with his duties, so he never seemed to be affected by Kael's absence.
The one who had been the most affected was Alicia's mother... the duchess of House Frost.
Being the last one to talk with Kael, Alicia knew her mother couldn't help but keep regretting everything that she had said to him.
For her mother, the very words she had said to Kael were the main reason behind his disappearance.
Duchess Alia had stopped eating food for many days, resulting in her health deteriorating.
But somehow Victoria had consoled her and managed to bring the situation under control.
