Homecoming

"My Lord, you're back! Even Lady Tempest also came back with you!"

Despite his age, Old Buck quickly came running on top of the wall ramparts upon hearing the news that the Count and Solitary Tempest was spotted in the distance. He became vividly excited with relief the closer the couple got to the village that he even started waving at them and shouting in excitement!

"Old Buck! How are you?! How's the village while we were away?!" Shadow waved back as the village gate had slowly opened for them even when they were still tens of meters away from the village.

The old village chief didn't answer back and instead ran down the stairs under the worried gaze of the militia and villagers, but on the other hand, they couldn't hide the amused looks on their faces as they could understand why the old village chief was acting like this.
