In that case, let her communicate with Arvit.
After he left, Alvette called Claire and Aurora, and the four women went to the fitting room to choose clothes.
The Duke's mansion contains many of Suna's clothes from the past. Although a long time has passed, they are still well preserved.
They even found Aurora's old open-crotch pants from when she was a child, which made Aurora blush.
After each of them had chosen their nightgowns, the four of them entered the indoor bath with the help of the maids.
Unlike the bathtub used by Dak, this bathtub was a little smaller and was already filled with hot water, with steam rising from it.
Arvit took off her clothes, grabbed a towel, and stepped into the steaming water.
Suna looked at her flawless body with some envy and said, "Time has truly been kind to you."
Arvit smiled and turned around, saying, "You're not bad either."
Suna sighed slightly and took off her last piece of clothing.
Due to her physique, she has a larger frame and slightly broad shoulders. However, her abdominal muscles are very tight, making her waist quite slender.
And the exposed half of her breasts, visible through the towel, was even more voluptuous than Biervait's.
She exudes a slightly rugged, wild beauty.
Undeterred by the water temperature, she stretched her long legs into the bathtub and slowly submerged her body.
Perhaps her busy official duties had caused her to neglect exercise, and the fatigue from the long journey from the city of freedom was showing on her.
She squinted, feeling somewhat drowsy in the mist.
Beside her, Alvitt was enveloped in a faint glow, a halo that flowed naturally from her body, a manifestation of transcendence.
Only after that did Aurora cautiously follow Suna into the water.
Her petite figure, so different from her mother's, always made her seem like someone else's child.
Amidst the rising steam, she seemed as if she might disappear at any moment.

.
Claire chuckled as she slid in from the opposite side of the tub, giving them just enough space.
The four of them squinted and soaked for about three minutes.
Suna slowly said, "Alvit, about the arranged marriage we made in the past."
A slight smile played on Alvit's lips: "Have you told Ruola about it?"
Suna nodded and said, "This child is precocious from a young age. There aren't many things I would hide from her, and I can't hide them from her anyway."
“Hmm.” Alvit thought for a moment, then asked, “What does she mean?”
Aurora, clutching her towel, expressed her thoughts: "It's...it's pretty good..."
Suna immediately gave her a quick, discreet glare.
Alvette couldn't help but smile: "It's been so many years. You know that I proposed the marriage in the first place just to put your mind at ease. Now, the only people who know about it are Claire and Elizabeth."
Suna asked, "Have you mentioned it to the eldest princess?"
Alvit laughed and said, "After all, you were originally a mixed-race resident who moved away from the kingdom, so you should at least mention it to the royal family."
In other words, it is precisely because of this relationship that the Free City has not suffered any attacks from the Kingdom in the past decade.
Princess Elizabeth also offered her assistance in this matter.
Suna sighed, realizing she had done too many favors, and said softly, "Since even the eldest princess knows about this engagement, why don't we just stick with it?"
"Eh?"
Aurora had assumed her mother was finally going to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement, and she had even mentally prepared a long list of arguments. She was just waiting for her mother to bring it up so she could argue her case and try to change her mind.
This was the first time she had wanted to go against her mother's wishes since she became sensible, and she had been hesitant about it ever since.
However, just when she finally made up her mind, her mother suddenly changed her mind.
Aurora shut her mouth, realizing she could no longer fathom her mother's thoughts.
But Alvitt wasn't too surprised. Instead, she asked, "This wasn't your original purpose for coming here, was it?"
Suna's face was hidden in the mist, so her expression was unknown.
But she still said, "You guessed it, didn't you? I actually came here to call off this marriage."
Arvit smiled. "I can see that. We share the same worries. Before tonight, I was actually quite afraid that Dark would insist on becoming a 'Hero.' After all, becoming a 'Hero' is a dream shared by many children of this era."
Suna said, "But now I know he never intended to become a 'Hero.' The destiny of a hero is hard to change; even those with a rare bloodline will face hardship. I really don't want Aurora to suffer the same fate as me, losing the one she loves most in the future."
Alvitt said lightly, "No, I will protect him."
Suna said, "I understand now. He's more responsible than I imagined. If Aurora misses out on him, I can hardly imagine where she'll find a more suitable husband. So, this marriage..."
“That won’t do,” Alvitt suddenly said.
Suna was instantly stunned.
"Eh??"
Aurora, who thought things were back on track, couldn't help but clutch her towel tightly again.
Claire, who was soaking in the water on the opposite side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh as she watched the little girl's startled expression, which resembled that of a hamster.
The situation is getting more and more interesting.
……
After rejecting Suna's engagement proposal, Aylvit said firmly, "As a mother, of course I can't make a decision against my son's wishes. You've seen how popular my darling is right now. Whether it's Diana from the Gretbay family, Rose from the Florty family, or Anna and Angie, they all have feelings for him. And he doesn't reject Diana and Rose either. If I arrange this marriage for him without his consent, he'll definitely hate me. No, absolutely not!"
She shook her head vigorously as she spoke, looking troubled.
But Suna could clearly hear the smugness in her tone.
Although she felt that her daughter was definitely no worse than those other people, she couldn't say it at this moment.
"correct."
At this moment, Alvitt said, "Since little Nora has already received her admission notice to St. Marian, let her stay with me. After school starts, she can go to the academy with Dark."
Suna said helplessly, "That's fine. I feel at ease leaving her with you. When Aurora was in the Free City, there were too many things to worry about. Now that the situation has stabilized a bit, I hope she can have as much of the childhood that she should have at her age as possible."
"Don't worry, Dark is here," said Arvit.
……
It's quiet at night.
Dark had no idea that his "fiancée" had fallen through, and he carefully extracted his "crime" for the day.
Because his "arrogance" index was no longer sufficient, he had no choice but to choose "greed" today.
After six days of extraction, the "great sins" stored in the insect tree are now:
[Arrogance]: 12.5
Greed: 9.

5...
This reserve is enough for him to cultivate a "fruit of pride" and a "fruit of greed".
However, in order to accumulate enough to refine "Pride 4", he needs to continue storing "Pride".
However, the use of "greed" is not subject to as many restrictions.
After completing his daily draw, Dark turned to look at the magical elves pretending to be asleep on the bed—the maids had already brought in enough beds during the day.
"Before I knew it, I already had seventeen magical spirits. I only need three more to begin the first upgrade of 'Paradise'."
"If 'Paradise' enters version 2.0, the magical spirits will have even more freedom."
"Magical spirits not recorded in 'Paradise' don't need to be returned to their magic cards every night."
"Magical spirits don't actually need to sleep, so if they're diligent and stay up all night studying, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Dak was making plans.
"Next, we need to hire tutors for them. Ideally, they should complete all their basic education within these three months."
"Let's look at the gifts first!"
He couldn't help but get excited when the topic of gifts came up.
This year's birthday gift can be described as a great start.
The gift from Lord Suna Montilfali surprised and delighted him.
He reopened the delicate box and took another look.
Inside, however, lay an egg the size of a pigeon's egg.
The eggshell was slightly transparent, through which a faint glow of firelight could be seen.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be an elf egg!"
The Elf race and the Elf are two different things.
The former is a subhuman race, while the latter is an elemental life form, and a higher-ranking one at that.
Professor Sylph is an elf blessed by the wind spirits, and can freely roam...
It can control the wind, and even transform itself into the wind!
Of course, that's not something that can be done casually.
But everything is based on the "Wind Spirit".
If Dark can hatch the elf egg in his hand, perhaps he too will be favored by the elves and become an elf rider.
Even if it doesn't work out, you can keep it as a "magical creature".
The Fantastic Beasts Society, which he plans to restart, must have one or two magical creatures; otherwise, it would be unworthy of its name and would not be able to survive.
This elf egg has arrived at just the right time.
"Unfortunately, elves are most compatible with the elven race, and usually only elves can become elven envoys. It would be difficult for me."
Dak, unable to hide his smile, closed the box and then placed the other birthday gifts in front of him one by one.
"Let's start by unwrapping Aunt Claire's birthday presents."
He first selected the largest gift box, whose label clearly bore Claire's signature and blessing.
Grow up quickly, Claire Kate!
Dak carefully removed the tags and put them away before opening the gift box.
"I knew Aunt Claire wouldn't let me down!"
As Dak looked at the gifts in the gift box, his eyes curved into crescent moons.
But then they saw that the gifts were neatly arranged with different kinds of materials, and an instruction leaflet was tucked in the edge.
Pull out the instruction manual, and sure enough, it had the upgrade method for "Paradise" written on it in beautiful handwriting!
"Re-entering the 'Paradise' information isn't difficult, but it requires targeted adjustments based on the specific attributes of your 'Paradise.' With these materials, I can try multiple times."

Overjoyed, he immediately picked up a gift box with a label featuring a cute bear head.
This box is clearly a gift from the Greta Bayer family; perhaps the bear head on the label was even drawn by Diana herself.
"Speaking of which, what month are Diana and Rose's birthdays? We should give them some biological gifts in return."
As he pondered this, Dak opened the gift box.
It certainly wouldn't contain a gift like a "bear hug pillow".
