Vlad and Edren went to the neighbouring room. It was identical to the one where Elaria and Chloe were staying, with a similar view of the city outside.
The first thing Edren did the moment he entered the room was put his clothes inside the storage ring. His eyes brightened with excitement as the clothes vanished.
Vlad settled into the chair, silently watching his father laugh and giggle like a child each time he inserted and retrieved the clothes from the ring.
The only time he had seen him this excited was when a friend of his from the village had gifted him an expensive wine.
But it also brought a hint of sadness to Vlad's heart. When even something as mundane as a storage ring and a gown could bring such happiness to his parents, he realised how underprivileged they had lived.
