The plane landed in Taronia in no time, and Ivy made a video call to Avery as soon as she stepped out of the airport.
Though there was a time difference between Aryadelle and Taronia, Avery specifically asked that Ivy called her after she landed.
"Mom, I'm heading to the hotel now." It was late in Aryadelle, so Ivy did not want to disturb Avery's rest.
"Send me the location and the video of your room once you arrive at your room," Avery said.
"Sure."
Ivy hung up and headed to the hotel along with her bodyguard.
Once they arrived at the presidential suite and set their suitcases down, Archer asked, "Ivy, do you want to eat or rest?"
"I'm not tired, so let's grab a bite!"
"And after that?" he asked.
"I will take you around. Everything looks the same as it did three years ago. Nothing has changed."
Ivy did not sleep much on the plane, and now that she arrived at the hotel, she felt even less tired.
Archer chuckled. "Ivy, I've never seen you this happy before."
Ivy touched her face. "Really? I'm always happy when I'm with my parents!"
"You seem very excited now," Archer observed.
"Well, it's been a long time since I came back here. I lived here for over a decade, and even though I don't have relatives here, this land still feels familiar and dear to me," Ivy explained.
Archer did not fully understand, but he respected her feelings.
After having dinner at the hotel restaurant, Ivy took Archer to explore the streets.
