We did not linger once the celebration ended. My family and I chose to depart immediately afterward. We would sleep within my Divine Realm regardless, so no one raised any objections. With Fuyu's special door offering direct access to the castle where everyone resided, returning there felt natural and effortless.
Triton had enjoyed these past days more than he would admit, yet I could sense his growing longing for his mother and friends. It had been over a week, and guilt tugged at me for keeping the boy away so long. I resolved to hasten our journey back to the Aquarius Archipelago and then to Jotunheim, where we would begin our new lives.
I hoped for peaceful days ahead, watching my children grow without constant peril. The thought of enrolling them in a school even crossed my mind. There had to be one somewhere. Jotunheim might lack such institutions, but I had heard of magic academies in Midgard and Alfheim, overseen by gods. Still, my little ones might be too young.
