Aegwynn was pregnant, and Aegwynn's husband's family became even more reclusive.
Karen had not seen Aegwynn's husband for two months.
Through Thomas's introduction, Aegwynn's husband was now playing the role of a good husband.
He waited on Aegwynn hand and foot, while Aegwynn had become a mother glowing with feminine warmth. She spent all day gazing kindly at her belly and talking to it.
The two of them led very fulfilling lives and had no need for anyone to disturb them.
If they did not still need servants to look after their daily lives, and if some matters did not still need Thomas to handle, the two of them would probably have withdrawn from the world entirely.
Karen continued practicing Arcane magic, but he felt that his progress was exceedingly slow.
Compared to how complete his Ice magic training was, he estimated that it would take another five or six years to finish training in the Arcane school.
His Ice magic training had taken less than half a year, so in comparison, this truly felt as slow as a snail's crawl.
Not long ago, however, Karen had spoken with Antonidas over the phone, and the two had updated each other on their progress.
Antonidas was utterly shocked to learn that Karen had already completed his Ice magic training and begun training in a second school.
Antonidas himself revealed that he had been practicing Arcane magic for over a year and had only completed one-third of it.
In other words, he needed at least another two years to complete training in this school.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, it would take nearly ten years to advance to Master rank.
As a High Elf, Karen possessed a far deeper foundation.
Logically speaking, Karen should have needed at least several times as much training time
