Chapter 53 Returning to the Rightful Owner

Seeing Count Trosa standing in the courtyard welcoming him, Baron Eriv's solemn mood from witnessing the corpses of the subjects as he entered the village somewhat subsided.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, General. Had I known a distinguished guest was visiting, I would have arranged a banquet for you in town," Baron Eriv said as he bowed deeply.

"Ha-ha, General, it's good that you don't blame us for coming uninvited," Trosa stepped forward and warmly embraced him.

The Old Earl patted his arm and then with a look of regret said, "We recently defeated the troops from Leding Castle, but unfortunately, we couldn't capture Dawson. I didn't expect him to slip into your territory... I'm ashamed that I came too late; your village still suffered from those scoundrels' havoc. Thankfully, the main culprits have paid with their lives."
