Heading back to the palace is not the Leowulf who left. Half of him is dying under the weight of his guilt. And the other half is scared of what he had just done. The conviction of what he just did. Killed a man because he was caught performing a sacrilege to the land. Killed a woman he loves or the woman who makes him happy just so he could avoid conviction. He has a long face with a sloppy walking stride. He had gone to a stream and had watched himself. He had taken precautions against what he thought might make people suspect him.
"Welcome Lord Leowulf,"
