At noon time, Lord Julius finally arrived together with Lord Harold and Madam Antonette. All three of them had sullen faces as they entered the clinic.
When Leric saw their dark expressions, he furrowed his eyebrows and wondered what could have happened to them.
"We apologize for coming late, Sir Aethelwolf. Something came up along the road and it took a lot of our time." Lord Julius said as he forced out a smile.
"What happened?" Leric asked in a low voice. He suddenly thought about the bandit scouts who had been monitoring them in the last few days. Could it be them?
Samira walked towards them and also asked what was going on.
Lord Julius turned his gaze to Harold and said. "Explain it to them..."
Lord Harold nodded his head and sighed as he recounted what happened to them earlier.
