Three days later, Li Si Te returned to Coral Island's Fresh Flower Town.
It was Tulip Castle's Knight Squad that escorted him back to Fresh Flower Town, accompanying Li Si Te and Ma Ku Si were two down-on-their-luck nobles, descendants of nobility, yet themselves without inherited titles, only addressed as Knights.
They were friends introduced by Goltai.
Lured by the promise of double wages, they came to Fresh Flower Town to take up official posts.
"Li Si Te, welcome back, you were gone just over a week, and I started missing you," Goltai greeted the town's landlord with slightly exaggerated enthusiasm.
His warmth was extravagant yet thorough.
"And there's Ma Ku Si, the Baron's loyal knight. Seeing you both in fine attire, I knew at once that your journey went smoothly."
"Haha, look who these two are, Isaiah and Blair, my old friends. Seeing you arrive with the Baron fills me with immense joy, evidently you have chosen Fresh Flower Town."
