The duke’s visit (13)

In the end, the ones that guided us were Moon's group.

The green haired elder had wanted to send a few of her trusted people to guide us out, but Moon stopped her from doing that.

Moon knew what was happening as well, but she didn't want to get them involved.

So she volunteered for this position…though she would have had to come with us in the first place since she was going back to the town.

But the ones that had come back didn't need to. They were free to choose if they wanted to come and go because that was just how our arrangement was.

They stayed with Moon in the end, showing how loyal they were to her.

As we left the village, the green haired elder looked at us with a worried look.

She went over to Moon and patted the back of her hand as she said, "Be careful."

Moon didn't say anything and just gave a simple nod before leading the way.
