"So… how's your trip in that world called Solterra? I thought you'd stay there longer. You've finished your mission so soon?" asked William Von Ainsworth, Stella's father and the current Emperor of the Ainsworth Empire.
He looked at his daughter with a soft smile. Probably due to his elven blood, he looked relatively young—no more than twenty—and could easily pass as Stella's older brother.
"I-I'm just taking a short break from my mission, Dad," Stella replied. "I'll be leaving soon."
"Is that so?" William looked a bit sad after hearing his daughter's reply. "Alright then. Please stay here as long as you can. Your sisters, Maple and Cinnamon, are currently on one of those expeditions, and who knows when the two of them will return."
The two gluttons had told Stella where they had planned to go. William hadn't been told about the specifics since the twins had gone to meet their future husbands, who were only around a year old at this time.
