After dinner, Walter quickly left for the lord's mansion. He'll be setting off to the capital first thing at dawn, and they need to sleep early. It was the same for Liam's group, they'll be heading out with them as they were hired as guards.
Emma approached Liam as he sat with Merlin in the back drinking, "So you're heading out tomorrow?" She said with a sad face.
"Yeah, I can't stay here for long." Liam replied, "The city is cleared out of the cult, you got new workers, and even the king had dined here. This is bound to breathe a fresh life into this lodge." He smiled, "Do your best, to grow the business. And when you grow too old and weak, leave it for Tina to do the same. Generation after generation, let the family slowly cultivate wealth and prestige, this is how the short-lived humans compete with other races."
"You speak like someone who lived for that long." Merlin mumbled, half drunk.
