However, just as the people of the Empire were generally feeling hopeful and grateful in their hearts, back in the dungeon space, an unexpected event was unfolding.
Heuk. Heuk.
Ollie had been so taken aback that he ended up clinging to Luca for dear life.
It all started just moments ago when Ollie heard about his parents coming over. He had been excited because Luca and the elders had said they managed to make something called wine, and that they wanted to gift a few bottles to his parents as well.
Ollie was doubly excited since his brother told him it seemed to be highly regarded by adults—people like Xavier's parents, and now even his very own.
The elders, on the other hand, were practically puffing their chests out. They were so proud of their creations that they leaned in at every opportunity, waiting to hear praise for the different flavors they had brewed. They were the first to offer their bottles, and probably would have offered more if no one stopped them.
