After confirming what kind of ingredient thalia was, Fren and Vanessa moved to the garden for dinner. Manservants and maids stood by, the table already laden with food. Passing them, Fren spoke in a smooth voice. “Everyone except Vanessa, withdraw.” The servants vanished instantly. Vanessa silently admired the light movements characteristic of elves before pulling out a chair for Fren. Fren sat down. “Thank you, Vanessa.” “Thank you, Master. Shall I pour you some wine?” “Yes, please.” Fragrant wine filled the glass. After taking a few sips, Fren pointed to the seat next to him.
