"Mother!"
Styx, Noctis, and Ragna ran out from their classes, out of the time chamber. They pounced on Nadia, embracing her from all sides and crying their hearts out.
"I missed you so much~"
"Thankfully, you're safe. Please don't leave us again…"
"We won't do anything bad… we promise"
The three of them shed tears, cried, and sniffled, causing Nadia to also tear up as she kept apologizing. She was both sad and happy to see that her children had grown. They now appeared like they were thirteen years old, certainly reached a height that could be considered a teenager, their features becoming more striking and defined.
Thinking back, she had been gone for four years already. She had left at the start of the third year of the Covenant, and it was now already the seventh year.
"Mhmm… I'll stay… I'll stay with you, my children, till your father leaves this place. There should be plenty of time…"
"Mmm~"
