The Permissions Before Uncertainties

[ACROD]

The ride to Acrod was expectedly short, considering how fast Ulrike and Grant were going on their horses.

They both hoped to save Heide, even more than they hoped to see Alanor. Alanor would without doubt take care of himself, but a weak Heide in a magical barrier that slowly ate away life, was more important at the moment.

"Hello sire," Delbert greeted Grant as they walked through the Acrod gates.

It had been a while since they had seen each other and frankly, Delbert was happy for them, but Grant couldn't help but notice that Delbert was looking outside the gates, like he was expecting someone else to have come with Ulrike and Grant.

Grant didn't pay too much attention to it, because maybe, just maybe, Delbert was thinking that the psychotic vampire had tagged along. Zelina always walked her pace and never gave a damn about time, so maybe this was just about her.

However, what if Delbert was waiting for someone else?
