"So, you traveled back in time using the Grail of Time?" Frederin asked, his deep voice steady.
"Yes, that's about right." Merlin nodded slowly, sipping a glass of cold chocolate.
"Hmmm…" Frederin, Iris, and James fell silent, each lost in thought.
The truth was, the reason for their disappearance was absurd—almost impossible to believe.
Yet they all knew that neither of them would lie about something this serious.
Iris lifted her head and studied them seriously. "In that case, can you tell us what you experienced there?"
Luna and Merlin nodded in unison and began recounting their journey in that era.
Since the journey had been so long, they couldn't possibly cover every detail.
They focused on the key events: being chased by the Avernia Kingdom army, meeting Crystal and Prince Altarus—who would later become the ancestor of the Tharot family—and the final battle with the Holy Kingdom of Aldoria.
Their story was so gripping that Frederin, Iris, and James hung on every word.
