The sound of something clanging against the floor came to everyone's ears. Theo looked at the small square covered in a cloth being dragged on the ground by Isolde, who had a proud expression.
The cage hopped many times due to being dragged, and it made quite an annoying noise.
The Baroness looked at each heir with a smile, including Theo. It had been a while since he had seen her, and it made him happy.
"It's been a while since we had a dinner like this."
After sitting, the Baron spoke almost instantly, grabbing everyone's attention from the square cage on the ground near Isolde, who still stood.
"As you would have noticed, I have been gone from the castle for some time now. There are important things that your mother and I have to attend," the Baron spoke with a serious face.
Lucien frowned. The way the Baron spoke, it almost felt like he was not letting on more than he wanted.
