Fifteen minutes later,
Julian was currently walking through the corridor that led to Olivia's and the Duke's private quarters.
Sera had mentioned earlier that his mother had suddenly summoned him.
After their last intense mana transfer session in his room, they had only exchanged a few brief contacts here and there. She had never approached him directly, and Julian had not gone out of his way to seek her out either.
He was quite interested in what was about to happen.
He reached the large, ornate door and knocked twice.
"Mother, it is me. Kraven."
Immediately, a soft voice answered from inside.
"Come in."
It seemed that she had been actively waiting for him.
Julian pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The Duke and Duchess's private chamber was neat, clean, and massive. It was perhaps five times larger than Kraven's own room, designed with unmistakable opulence.
