Half a month had passed since Amberser announced to the world.
Other than the rather grandiose event involving the Gith Yankees, it had been quite peaceful. Amberser was still concerned that the Paladins might have lost their way at sea, unable to find his location.
He had prepared a grand gift for these Paladins, ensured that they would cry out in praise of the Lich's righteousness, then kneel before him with regret and shame.
But to his surprise, those who came were not the Laine People, but Amberser's old friend whom he hadn't seen in a long time—Princess Airel of the Fury Tide Kingdom.
When the Black Tide landed on the island, now named Gold Coin Island, Amberser had been waiting early on the shore.
The hatch opened, and Airel stepped down from the airship, led by Hasting.
Reuniting again, Airel couldn't recognize the Lich in front of her as the former Monger Greyriver, but she simply greeted Amberser calmly.
