Lucas returned quickly to the inn where everyone was staying for the night. When he heard about the commotion from one of the gamblers in the gambling inn he was at with his other friends, he could no longer sit in his chair and hurriedly went back to check on his sister and her friends.
Thankfully, when he arrived, everything returned to its calmness as though nothing had happened. When he asked the inn hostess, she told him that it was just one of the prostitutes in the brothel next door that had screamed, falsely alerting everyone.
"Brother!" Lotte jumped to his arms as soon as she saw him. "What took you so long to return?"
Lucas felt slightly guilty for being half an hour late after the commotion happened at the inn. But still, it was fortunate for him to arrive earlier than never. "I am terribly sorry, dearest sister. I only heard of what happened and went straight back to the inn. Is everyone alright?"
