"Father!"

Rune turned around at the sound of the doors opening to see Rienn walk in with a happy grin. She walked over to Serac's side and wrapped him in a hug.

"I've taken the liberty of inviting the rest of your group as well. This includes the Arlia siblings. The younger one seemed quite keen on speaking with you," Serac said. Then he gestured to a maid who had accompanied Rienn. "They should be waiting in another room. Neria here will guide you to them."
