After Clementine's death, the Gothingtons quickly found their way back to their everyday lives, which meant that the next birthdays were coming up for the large family.
Liora would become an adult.
Danielle: "All the best."
Levia: "Happy birthday."

And in the Viscount's house, Abram also became a young adult.
All: "Long live he. Happy birthday."
Edward just came in the door all excited. "I have fantastic news."
Confused, everyone stared at him.
A broad grin unfolded on his face. "Don't ask me how or why." His voice trembled with excitement. "We are invited to the palace. The invitation comes from Crown Prince Alexander himself."
There was silence for minutes. Everyone had to process the information for themselves.
Christina murmured, "We're invited to the palace."
Abram: "This is a great honor."
Annabelle: "The crown prince! May I come along?"
Edward: "Annabell, no. I'm sorry, honey, but I think the invitation is more far-reaching than we all think."
Christina: "You mean you'll get a permanent position at court."
Edward nodded. "I heard that the king has dismissed his advisors. He will probably resign soon and leave the throne to the crown prince."
Christina: "Oh, that's wonderful."
Abram skeptical. "These are just speculations. I suggest we go and listen to what the royal family wants."
Edward: "You're right, Abram."
