-- POV Freya --
It was almost noon and the reunion with everyone was over. The soldiers had dispersed to join their families and those who didn't had families were celebrating in the barracks with the Commanders. I didn't take the time to greet everyone because my family and I had quickly returned to the manor followed by Lia and Triss.
I was now in my room, washed and dressed before joining Gaya and Shiro who were waiting for me in the inner garden so we could spend some time together. We had set up a table in the small forest there, facing the sea, making us feel like we were elsewhere. I had not yet enjoyed their company because I had to wash myself and especially let my wife rest with my daughter.
As I put on my clothes, my little sister's voice spoke in my mind.
[There are a lot of new faces in the manor.]
*Mmh, it's true. While we were away, the section leaders took care of the newcomers. I haven't met them yet, but some of them have been assigned to the mansion.*
