After traveling for a few more days, we passed the border and arrived back in my town.
Waiting for me was Rose and another person that I was familiar with.
It was Scar who welcomed me with a smile on his face, one that was anything but kind.
It was clear that he was angry with me, but he wasn't able to show that in front of the dwarves.
They were here as ambassadors officially, so offending them was the last thing that he could do.
So he asked to see me in private and I followed him since I was still technically his subordinate.
We went to my study once more and when we sat down…
"What were you thinking?"
Those were the first words out of his mouth, but I had already expected this.
I just revealed a bitter smile before saying with a shrug, "I didn't plan on this either. It just happened."
"It just happened?" He repeated with twitching lips.
