Using a hidden staircase which directly led to her bedroom, the former Queen of Eldinor made her way over to the manor from the catabs after making sure that the three individuals had left using exits that were located at discrete locations.
What many didn't know was that this manor had been the property of her family before they had sold it to move to a bigger place.
As she walked along the empty passageways, she was reminded of her childhood which had been spent growing up inside these very walls.
On reaching her room, a single servant greeted her before serving her a simple dinner and leaving after clearing out everything.
Lying on the bed alone, Eldara couldn't help but think back to her own mother whom she had run away from.
In particular, she was reminded of the specific point where she had looked back on her life to find that her entire existence had been spent under the shadow of the woman who had given birth to her.
She had been raised to be the next clan head in the family, with exposure to power and authority from a young age which had enticed her to no end. Yet, the desire to get away from her mother had overe these feelings and had led her to run away with the Elf who had said he loved her.

The more she obtained it, the more she wanted it to stay with her forever.
She did not care or bother about anything else; all she wanted was to die knowing that she had lived her life her own way.
Yet, ultimately, at the moment she got the news about her daughter's nomination, she had realized that she had mirrored her mother without even realizing it over all these years.
Looking back, she had wondered if she regretted anything.
All of her decisions had been taken because she wanted to make a strong woman out of her daughter so that she wouldn't have to suffer and waste years of her life before being able to pursue her true purpose like she had done.
Still, she felt that they weren't a plete waste because they had allowed her to bee someone autonomous instead of being under the iron-clad control of her powerful family. In fact, she even had to thank the man because it was possible that she would also have been murdered if she stayed with them.
Thus, she had made the decision to keep the name of her husband, "Dartingnon
