"Please stand up, Sir Alfred." Fredrinn helped the old man. He wasn't used to his sudden change in attitude.
"Thank you for giving me another chance at life, my lord. This old man will forever be in your debt."
"There's no need to thank me, Sir Alfred. To be honest, I also had selfish reasons for saving you." Fredrinn felt a little guilty when he saw the old man's emotional expression.
"Whatever the reason is, I'm still grateful, my lord."
Fredrinn didn't expect to see this side of Alfred. He also had a vulnerable side, just like everybody else.
He ended up listening to the old man's story.
It turned out that he shared a deep friendship with Fredrinn's great-grandfather. The two were comrades in arms and treated each other like brothers. When Fredrinn's grandfather died due to an untreated injury, Alfred was devastated. He stayed in the Firecrown Household's estate to fulfill a promise he made to his late comrade.
