Third person POV
After all that, Camden apologized to Lloyd for Hertzel's arrogant attitude. "It's okay, you don't have to apologize," Lloyd responded back briefly and calmly. "I had seen the worse of his attitude before."
"Wait, he went here before?" Camden asked back.
"Yes, once."
"Strange…"
"By the way, long time no see, Camdeni-chan."
That was his nickname to Camden because the latter was 5 years older than him and was viewed as an older brother to him.
"Yeah, long time no see, Nate-kun," Camden replied back.
"Sure, but my name is Lloyd Lewole now," his friend responded.
The three girls who were with Camden are very surprised to hear that.
"You changed your name?"
"Yes, guys," Lloyd responded to them, "so I could forget my past."
"Right…" Camden responded while being surprised at his friend's survival. "I can't believe that you actually managed to survive on your own all this time."
Scratching the back of his head in a little embarrassment, Lloyd replied, "Yeah, thanks."
He then chuckled low and a bit.
But then, the three girls charged at him, and the young village chieftain was struck by them a few meters away.
Upon seeing this, Zeke responded, "Master!"
While their friend passed out by the impact, the three girls expressed their thoughts of him being dead with feelings.
"We thought you're dead."
"Your older brother told us that you had died."
"We even mourned for you."
Seeing this, Zeke looked at Camden. "Um, are they…?"
"They're in love with him," the vanguard replied.
"Oh, what do you expect?"
"Yeah…"
Sati then came forward towards Zeke. "Zeke, we had managed to capture some of Langton's soldiers. Xerxes will take care of the interrogation."
"Okay, good," Zeke replied back.
"Wait, what?" Camden responded to this. "Interrogation?"
At the same time, Lloyd gets up once he managed to regain his consciousness. "Yeah, he's from the Undead wolf tribe."
Later, at 4 in the morning, standing on a platform in the center of the autonomous tribe's main village, Lloyd was assessing the damages caused by his former kingdom to the said village. His childhood friends and some of his subordinates are sitting on the platform nearby. Then, he looked at the captured soldiers and officers, who were being led and escorted by Xerxes' division.
"So those are prisoners of war…" he commented.
Camden then stood up and walked near his friend. "Those are your prisoners of war."
He then looked at him. "You can do whatever you want with them."
"Oh, okay," the young leader responded, "but I had to be ethical at this point."
He then began to think about it, before finishing his assessment shortly thereafter.
His female childhood friends are chatting with Sati, Hale, and Zeke.
