Hui Shi then pointed to Lain, hoping he’ll help him explain further. “Hello Elders. Sorry for my previous, bad manners, but when I met little Elena a few hours earlier, she mentioned to me that her father had been sleeping for a few days, and hadn’t woken up since. So I assumed that something must’ve happened to him.
Feeling that I should help her, I requested for brother Hui Shi, to escort me to her house, that way he can help cure her father using his god’s divine powers. We were on our way to her house when the two of you found us. I’m sorry, if there’s been a misunderstanding.” Lain said, after seeing Hui Shi’s gesture in awkwardness.
Annette hearing their words couldn’t help but apologize to Hui Shi and Lain, as realization dawned upon her, and she said, “I didn’t know you two were on an urgent mission. I’m sorry for occupying your time to ask my silly questions.” She then turned to the two old men and said, “Elders, I am simply a passerby who decided to tag along, after meeting these two brothers at the front gate. They were very kind and courteous to little sister Elena, so I as a hero of the city didn’t think there was something wrong with the situation.”
“It’s fine, young ones. Earlier, when I saw you put my granddaughter inside your chariot, me and old Trent here couldn’t help but play a little trick on you in order to understand your current situation. You see, a while ago, I received a message from my men while in Yearning Trust, that there had been reports that my granddaughter had been frequently exiting the city alone, for months now. Due to fear that something bad may be happening to her, I couldn’t help but ask my old teacher Trent, who knows the ins and out of the city, for help.
As we were coming to get her, we chanced upon a warning that her life may be at risk, but that warning quickly went away, as I was told that a priest of Ensieth helped resolved the matter, by healing her of her ailments, which was extreme nausea and fear.
Feeling blessed, that she was cured, we decided to take our time and meet her when arrives inside the city gates, while observing your actions from the side.
After seeing your actions, we decided you weren’t bandits and decided to reveal ourselves. We also mean you no harm.” Micas replied as his weathered, old voice sounded a bit long-winded, and tired at the end of his words.
Trent on the other hand couldn’t help but say towards Micas, “It seems something has truly happened to your son-in-law, Micas. That fool was definitely distraught by the death of your daughter. I knew his weak body was going to give out sooner or later due to me always receiving reports that he was always in an anxious and depressed state. I feel sad, that he had to lose the mother of his child, soon after her birth.”6Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z4PMI5knZ
