Colin gathered his limitations, turning around to see a tall, slender old man standing behind him.
He was dressed in a simple dark outfit, his hair completely white, but vibrant, with a sturdy and upright body. One look and one could see he had the deportment of a soldier, likely having fought on battlefields in his youth.
"Grandfather!" Webb struggled to get up and greeted hurriedly.
Only then did Colin realize that this elderly man was the very person they had come to visit, Governor Sebastian.
"Humph! Is this how you welcome guests?" Sebastian glared at Webb, scolding him.
The sudden change in atmosphere seemed to drop the temperature several degrees.
"Grandfather, I was wrong." Webb, who had been domineering and imperious, was now utterly subdued in front of Sebastian.
Seeing this, Vera intervened with a smile and said, "Dear uncle, you don't need to be too harsh on cousin. He was just playing with Colin."
