...

The mother and daughter continued to talk for a while.

Finally, Ladia asked, "Are you ready for what I mentioned in the letter, Mom?"

What she mentioned in the letter was about preparing to accompany Setia to live together in the Northwest Bay.

"Sigh~ I'm ready, but every time I think about leaving the place where I've lived for so many years, my heart feels very reluctant. Back then, your father and I..."

Seeing the sadness on her mother's face made Ladia feel a pang of sorrow.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

The woman immediately interrupted her words and hugged her daughter tightly. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's all because of that damn church."

Even though she had countless misgivings, she chose to stay by her daughter's side, especially during this special period.

"I saw that the shop has hired a new waitress, she..."

"That child's name is Lisa, she's a poor orphan. I've talked to her, and she's willing to come with us to the Northwest Bay."

"That's great, you can continue to run a 'Flying Dragon Pavilion' there, I'm sure your culinary skills will be very popular."

Setia finally showed a hint of a smile.

"I hope so. Do you think it's safe there? I mean, your other identity."

Ladia hesitated a bit and said, "Don't blame me for what I'm about to say. Earl Grayman already... already... knows that I'm a mage."

"What?"

The woman's face was full of shock.

"You silly child, how could you be so careless? What if he sells you to the church?"

Ladia hurriedly explained, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I had to use magic. Don't worry, the Earl is not that kind of person. He doesn't discriminate against magic and mages, and he has some influence over the church personnel in his territory."

She thought of Father Morrison, who had been sent by Paul to the monastery to serve as the deputy dean, and wondered how he was doing.

After hearing her daughter's account of how her identity was exposed and the Earl's attitude towards her, Setia said with a serious expression:

"I hope he really doesn't have any bad intentions, but after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, so you must be careful."

The mother and daughter continued to talk for about half an hour, and then Ladia suddenly asked:

"Mom, do you know about Meru and the others?"

"Your former companions in the adventurer group? During the time you were away, they often came to see me. They even had dinner at the shop a few days ago. I don't know if they're out on a mission now."

"I'm going to inquire at the adventurer's guild."

"No hurry, Ladia..."

The woman looked at her daughter with tenderness, reaching out to gently stroke her face.

"From the look of you, it seems like you haven't rested for a long time. You should take a nap first."

Feeling relaxed after returning to her familiar home, the advisor's heart suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion after her mother's suggestion.
