Chapter 241 Something Changed
It felt like… he wasn’t the same person anymore.
The thought struck Elowen out of nowhere, sharp and sudden like a lightning bolt.
What if… Alaric comes back too?
The idea sent a chill racing down her spine.

Someone called her name a few times before she snapped out of it. She turned and saw Elspeth beside her.
Elowen curved her eyes into a smile. “Aunt, what is it?”
Elspeth studied her. “Where did you drift off to? I’ve been calling you.”
Elowen waved it off casually. “Nothing serious, just thinking about a few things back at Duskmoor Manor.”
She shifted the topic smoothly and slipped her arm through Elspeth’s. “Did you just arrive? I didn’t see you earlier.”
Elspeth frowned slightly. “Something came up at home, and the rain didn’t help. I ended up arriving late and missed the ceremony. How was it? Lively?”
Elowen let out a light laugh. “Very. If you have time later, come stay at Duskmoor Manor. I’ll tell you everything.”
Elspeth nodded. “That works. I was planning to stay there for a couple of days anyway.”
Elowen caught something off in her expression. Looking closer, she realized Elspeth looked far more worn than usual.
“Aunt… did something happen at home?”
Elspeth had been holding it in for too long. Now that she started, she didn’t stop.
“It’s her again. This time she didn’t just come alone, she brought her daughter with her. Nina, eight years old.”
Her tone turned sharper. “The girl’s always been fragile. Pale, thin, like she’ll fall apart in a strong breeze. She clings to him constantly. Either she’s asking for stories or insisting he spend time with her, making kites, playing games… It doesn’t stop.”

That meant things between Elspeth and Alistair were far more complicated than she thought.
Elspeth waved it off. “I didn’t tell you all this to make you worry. I just don’t want to see their faces for a couple of days. Let me stay with you and get some peace.”
Elowen answered immediately. “Stay as long as you want.”
Elspeth added, “But sooner or later, I’m sending them back to Rivenshire. I’m not letting them stay here.”
Then she seemed to remember something.
“By the way, Ella, the marriage at Falconcrest Manor was delayed for the Crown Prince’s wedding. Now that it’s done, Sylvia’s situation should move forward soon, right?”
They had already stepped into the main hall.
