Before Alaric even arrived at Hershey's bedroom, he saw her in the hallway with Henry walking behind her.
"Alaric!"
"Hershey!"
The two rushed to each other's arms.
Galanar and Theo stopped at a certain distance to give the couple some space. The latter was relieved to see that his sister was safe.
"Are you hurt?" Alaric inspected her body with a worried look.
Seeing his concern for her, Hershey smiled. "I am alright. Sir Henry and Cassandra were there when I was attacked."
Alaric let out a sigh upon hearing this. He sent Henry a look of gratitude. "Thank you for protecting her, Sir Henry."
Henry shook his head and replied. "It is my duty to protect her during your absence, my lord. It is my task as a warrior of House Silversword!"
Alaric tapped the old man's shoulder. He then turned his gaze back to Hershey and asked. "Where is Cassandra?"
The female Knight had always stayed next to her so it was surprising that she wasn't around.
