About two hours later…
The group was in the car driven by Ethan, heading out of the area. He had parked at a certain corner of a street, directly opposite another waiting vehicle.
This waiting vehicle had been called by Rayleigh, and it came from the palace to wait for him and Isabella at this point, as they had decided to cut the journey short and head back to the palace from here.
They all stepped out of the vehicle and separated into groups of two. Ishtar ofcourse had applied her Glamor trait to mask her skin color and horns.
Ethan and Bella spoke briefly between themselves in what seemed like their last words before a goodbye for now.
"On the bright side," Bella said, "my father hasn't summoned you, so maybe Kieran hasn't told him just yet."
Ethan sighed. "Maybe. Hopefully it stays that way."
Bella nodded, and they embraced gently. He kissed her forehead lightly before she pulled away and returned to the car.
