"Goodnight, Mom," Raelis said warmly and left the dining hall.
He chatted with his mother for longer than he expected, but even so, he didn't regret it one bit.
I really wish I wasn't this stupid in the past, Raelis thought with a sigh. If I had only tried to talk with my mother more, then I wouldn't be feeling so shitty now.
But the past was the past, and at least for the time being, he wanted to bury it deep behind him.
Therefore, Raelis roamed the hallways of his mansion until eventually, he had arrived in front of Isabel's room.
He knocked twice, and then swung open the door.
To his surprise, Isabel was sitting by the mirror, putting on all sorts of makeup, and when she spotted him, her eyes widened.
"Young master..." Isabel recoiled. "I apologize... this belongs to Miss Sophia. I promise I will repay you accordingly."
"You don't have to act with me," Raelis replied plainly. "As for the makeup, put it back where it belongs after I leave your room."
