It was clear from Nadia's older brothers' appearance that they had indeed gone through tough times.
They all had a muscular build from working hard as mercenaries for years and from their background as former warriors.
Bernardo, now the eldest had an eyepatch in one eye. He got injured in a mission to kill monsters and lost his sight in his left eye.
Miguel and Manuel both lost half an arm each also from hunting monsters. They also had scars on their faces from former injuries.
The other warriors also had scars and signs of injury here and there but their eyes all looked resolute.
"Please forgive our unsightly appearance. We had been battling monsters the past months."
Bernardo, Miguel, Manuel, and the warriors of Safiro bowed to Arabella and Raymond in apology.
From Bernardo's thoughts, Arabella learned that Nadia's siblings along with the other warriors had kept trying to enter Safiro two months after Nadia was caught.
