Chapter 624 I Can’t Wait To Meet Her Tomorrow

Emma guided Wallace towards the Guest Room, which was reserved for honored guests.

After that, she took Ethan on a tour around the castle, telling him the most interesting places that could be found in it.

The young man was amazed because not only was the castle very spacious, but it was very clean as well.

One could tell that it was properly being maintained by the maids that they would see from time to time as they walked through the hallways.

“There are around a hundred people maintaining this castle, and they are all from the Meredith Clan,” Emma explained. “As you may already know, the Four Protector Clans have their own roles to play here in Caer Wydion.

“Crafting, construction, and mining are done by the Dwarves of the Offrid Clan.”

“Information gathering, as well as covert operations are done by the Catkins of the Orpheus Clan.”

“Alchemy, Farming, Healing, and maintaining the surrounding nature falls to the Elves of the Argus Clan.”

“Lastly, businesses, mercenaries, exploration, maintaining the castle, and human interactions are done by the Meredith Clan. Each Clan can mobilize with any given notice in times of war.”

Ethan, who walked behind her, didn’t say anything and simply listened to her explanation.

Now that they were in Caer Wydion, Emma could explain a few things that she couldn’t explain back then.

“Do you remember the misty path that we took before reaching this place?” Emma inquired.

“Yes,” Ethan replied. “Is that just a seasonal thing, or is it a permanent one?”

“Make a guess, Ethan.”

“A permanent one.”

Emma smiled before nodding her head.

“You’re right.” Emma then led Ethan to the Balcony of the Palace, where an exceptional view of the surrounding lands could be seen. “You will learn this in the academy when you become a Second Year, but we are currently in a place that people referred to as the ‘Forbidden Grounds’.

“These are places that no one should casually enter because it is a very dangerous place. The chances of an ordinary person leaving a Forbidden Ground alive is nearly zero.

“Because of this restriction, Caer Wydion has become a safe haven for the Four Protector Clans, and allowed them to prosper.

“I have a family member who is here in the castle?” Ethan asked just to be sure that he hadn’t misheard his Promised One.

“Yes.” Emma nodded. “The Young Miss is here. She is also your little sister.”

“... A little sister?”

“Yes.”

Ethan was caught completely off guard by this revelation.

He had always thought that he was an only child, but after hearing that he had a little sister, and she was currently inside the castle, he didn’t know how he should react.

“Then, why didn’t she meet me earlier?” Ethan inquired.

“I don’t know,” Emma replied. “But, the Young Miss is... a strong-

willed person. We don’t like to be on her bad side.”

Ethan could tell from Emma’s tone that his sister wasn’t someone to be taken lightly.

Even so, after knowing that he had another family member, he wished he could meet her right away.

Perhaps, knowing what he was thinking, Lilith spoke what she had in mind.

“You don’t need to hurry to meet the Young Miss, Master,” Lilith stated. “I’m sure that she will eventually make her appearance. Knowing her personality, maybe she already knows about the Feast tomorrow, and will participate as well.”

“What is her name?” Ethan asked. “Also, how old is she?”

“The Young Miss’ name is Joanne,” Lilith answered. “And she had just had her eleventh birthday.”

Ethan always wanted to have a sibling because he felt jealous of the other kids having an older sister, an older brother, a younger sister, or a younger brother.

“Joanne... a good name,” Ethan muttered. “I can’t wait to meet her tomorrow.”

While the young man was looking forward to meeting his little sister, Emma and Lilith, on the other hand, felt anxious.

They didn’t want to say anything bad about the young man’s sister, so they decided to just let him discover what she was like when the two of them finally met each other.
