At that time, Leon thought of something and asked Seraphina, his calm voice breaking the heavy atmosphere. "And what of Amelia? How has she fared during all this while I was away?"
"She has been well-protected," Seraphina said, her eyes hinting at emotions as she assured him. "The Viscount has taken extra measures to ensure her safety, likely due to the looming threat from the Deathbringer Mercenary Squad. Amelia herself has remained strong and composed."
Leon nodded, feeling relieved. "Good."
As they walked casually while conversing, they neared the estate's entrance. The grand gates loomed ahead, illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns. The familiar sight brought a sense of calm to Leon.
