(Montclair Barony.)
People were already standing at the entrance of the Barony, including Rashin and Kika Montclair.
News of their son returning that very day had reached them, and they knew to welcome him with open arms.
Some of the citizens who took refuge from the Neuk Barony were also indebted to Alaric and decided to join the welcoming party.
As the carriage rolled in, everyone's faces lit up with joy.
Opening the door, Hina was the first to walk out, followed by Ava.
And then he came out.
Alaric, his hands spread apart, yelled -
"I'm homeeeee!!!"
Immediately, a huge, happy cheer followed.
Every angle Alaric looked at, there were people cheering for his return to the Barony.
'Hahah, praise me, praise me!' Alaric laughed innocently, enjoying every bit of the moment.
Suddenly everyone went quiet.
'Eh? Why did they....?'
