After the three left, Aristia and Alaric returned inside the mansion.
Not long after, Wilson returned home.
While they had dinner, Catherine explained what happened.
Wilson had already heard from Ross, but what he knew was not very detailed.
"I'm pleased with the way you handled the situation, Tia." Catherine said with a proud smile.
"Thanks, mama." Aristia smiled with a light nod.
"I plan to take a stroll around the square tomorrow. Maybe you can come along with me?" Catherine asked after some thought.
It would be a great mother-daughter bonding time.

The next day, Aristia left the mansion with Catherine.
Her mother had asked her to join her for a stroll around the capital the previous day during dinner and they had decided to go now.
It was the perfect time when tht weren't busy, especially since it was the late afternoon.
Aristia changed into outing clothes and put on a cloak.
Catherine also put on a cloak at her daughter's request.
