One week later, on a morning in the early new year in the Hutton Kingdom.

As the magic power rail train gradually came to a stop, the scenery outside the window slowly stilled, the train door opened, revealing a station whose roof was made of reddish-brown bricks and stones.

"Here we are! Ichrite, my home!"

Isatia's cheerful voice and footsteps echoed on the platform of Ichrite Central Station as she walked and looked around.

Having not returned to Ichrite for many years, this city filled her with longing.

The lofty towers on both ends made the Central Station particularly magnificent, with marble columns, frescoes, and stained glass windows all reflecting a deep sense of history, unlike any architectural style she had seen in the Cerryti Empire.

After retrieving her documents in Huadu and completing entry and exit records, following a few days of travel, they took the train all the way from the Poseen Kingdom back to their hometown, the Capital of Hutton.

Isatia couldn't wait to return to her Duke's Mansion.

"Alright, Duke, Duchess, Aunt of Miss Duchess, I'll probably take Cat Boss back to the restaurant, then head back to my dorm. Hans has already arranged your vehicle."

Lanci stood on the platform talking to several people before him.

Although Butler Hans had been serving the Wilfort Family for years, he was actually a confidant left by Duke Migaya at the Wilford Chamber of Commerce and was now returning to the Duke's House with the Duke Migaya's return.

The Duke's Mansion was a bit of a distance from Ichrite Academy, and Cat Boss was just two streets away to the east of Ichrite Academy.

The dorm of the Ichrite Wise Academy was where Lanci was most accustomed to staying, and he missed it after not having returned for several months.

"Do you want me to accompany you tonight? Like help with dinner, tidy up the house?"

Talia temporarily didn't mind what Lanci called him and suggested.

Originally, she could stay a few more days at Lance's House due to the Mad Love Demon King's state, but the fusion time during the journey had ended, and she and Lan Fu had separated, so there was no reason to stay in Lanci's dorm anymore.

So her plan today was first to visit the Duke's Mansion with her sister, check out Hyperion at the Duke's Mansion, and then return to Cat Boss Restaurant.

"No, no, I can do house chores myself, and dinner is easy, the school is full of restaurants."

Lanci shook his head hurriedly.

As long as Talia came, Sigrid and Hyperion would probably come too, and he couldn't imagine how it would be hell if all three squeezed into his dormitory.

After this journey and maintaining the Mad Love Demon King for a month, today he only wanted to go home and have a good rest.

"Come on, come on, first come to the Duke's Mansion, then go to Cat Boss Restaurant, and then you can go back to Ichrite Academy."

Isatia eagerly invited Lanci to visit.

She also wanted to see the legendary Demon Realm Moon Shadow Fox at Cat Boss Restaurant; upon hearing that there was such a fox beast brought back from the Northern Continent in the store, she already wanted to rush to Cat Boss's store to pet the fox. Her sister and brother-in-law definitely had to accompany her to be more fun.

Moreover, before parting in Huadu, Rosalinda and Aitio also promised to come to Ichrite to play, to celebrate the return of their loving family. Once they're done with their affairs, they may arrive soon. Isatia was looking forward to it and hoped the Duke's House would be lively.

"Uh..."

Lanci observed Isatia and Migaya for a while.

Isatia seemed to have forgotten about what happened that night in Huadu, while Migaya was as expressionless as ever.

On the night at the Flower Capital Saint Silvervine Arena, Isatia had seen through the video the whole embarrassing dating process between him and Talia, and with Isatia's character, she would certainly share it unreservedly with Migaya.

Thus, their journey back to Hutton was quite awkward, with Migaya and Isatia staying together, and Lanci and Talia staying together, consciously avoiding each other, without much interaction.

Lanci originally thought that in front of Isatia and Migaya, he and Talia should not continue appearing together at the same time, to avoid recalling any awkward topics.

But now, it seemed like Isatia was much more naturally interacting with them, especially with Talia, as close as before.

"Isatia has already explained our past thoroughly... Pranay definitely knows, but if Isatia hadn't told me herself, I might never have known in this life."

Talia, understanding Lanci's pondering state, clarified to him.

During the journey, Isatia found a chance to explain to Talia the secret she had hidden for many years.

Even though she was supposed to feel a sense of loss upon knowing Isatia wasn't her sister, for some reason, what she felt more was a deep sense of relief.

"Meow."

Cat Boss placed both its paws on Lanci's arm, listening to the conversation, and generally pieced together the situation.

It mused over Tata's saying that anyone who dared to question the sisters' identities would be executed by the Demon King, which made Pranay's daring quite unusual.

"So Lanci, do you understand now?"

She further added to Lanci.

"Understand what?"

Lanci didn't immediately grasp what Talia meant.

Ever since the second date in Parriet, he occasionally couldn't figure out what Talia was thinking, and now without the mind connection, he understood even less of Talia's expressions.

Talia was silent for a moment, then walked up to Lanci.

She covered the side of her mouth with her hand, leaned close to Lanci's cheek.

"If you want me to call Isatia 'Mom', I can agree to it."
