Creak…
Before long, the door swung open.
The butler who opened the door froze when he saw Andrius.
“An… Wolf… Sir…” His lips trembled uncontrollably, changing the way of address thrice before finallysettling on the last one, which he felt was the most appropriate.
Andrius smiled faintly.
“He’s back! Master, Mr. Moonshade is back-”
The butler was suddenly filled with excitement and rushed back into the manor, shouting as he went.
At his words, the entire Crestfall Manor became lively, sizzling like water being poured into a hot pan.
“Andrius! Andrius, you’re back! It’s good that you’ve returned—”
The person running at the front was Belarus. He appeared even older than before, but his steps werebrisk. When he saw Andrius, he wished he had longer legs. His aged face was beaming with anenthusiasm that could melt the frost of winter.
Harry, Luna, and the other members of the Crestfalls also rushed over.
Luna was concerned that Belarus would fall and assisted him while running with him.
“Grandpa Belarus.”
Seeing this, Andrius also quickly went over. Kate naturally followed behind him.
Luna did not notice Kate at first, but after she did, she paused in shock, and her eyes instantly flickeredwith a strange glint.
This woman…
She was the Maiden of the Medicine Sect, Kate Klein, the person that Old Hagstorm told her toimpersonate.
However, Luna was not the Luna of the past. She thought of her identity and immediately pretended tobe calm as if she did not know anything.
Unbeknownst to her, Kate had always been clever and quick–witted. She was very observant andkeenly caught the subtle change in Luna’s expression earlier. Although she did not know why Lunalooked surprised, she still found it strange.
Of course, Kate did not reveal it.
The two women had their own thoughts.
“Husband, you’re back.”novelbin
Luna did not know what was Kate’s relationship with Andrius, but she knew that Andrius had spent timein the Medicine Sect recently. She was certain that there must have been some interaction betweenhim and Kate. Thus, her casual use of the term ‘husband‘ was a form of
asserting her status.
Andrius frowned slightly, but in front of the entire Crestfalls and especially in front of Belarus, he couldnot refuse and simply nodded with a soft hum.
Then, he handed the medicine he was carrying to Belarus. “Grandpa Belarus, this is a tonic I preparedespecially for you. Your health will greatly improve after taking it.
“Oh, you…”
Belarus was touched by Andrius‘ concern for his health. He patted Andrius‘ shoulder heavily. His eyeswere warm as he gestured for Harry to take the medicine.
“How have you been these days?” Belarus asked with concern, “From the war with the WesternNations, the fake emperor’s trial, then to the campaign of capturing the fake emperor, it’s been onething after another. Although your contributions have been extraordinary, it must have been very toughon you.”
Fortunately, he was unaware of the affairs involving the four great martial families. Otherwise, he wouldhave been even more worried.
Andrius smiled and said, “I’m fine, Grandpa Belarus. In truth, it was the soldiers who did most of thework. I was just overseeing the overall situation at most. The credit should go to the soldiers who losttheir lives on the battlefield.”
Those were Andrius‘ heartfelt words.
Belarus stroked his beard and cast a glance at Luna, then said, “Speaking of the soldiers… During thistime, Luna has done a lot for the Valiant Institute.
“Not only has she actively communicated with the municipal government to expedite the compensationfor the martyr’s families, but she also personally visited the Valiant Institute multiple times to providemedical treatment to the injured soldiers.
“In addition, she used her influence to organize several charity drives and donated all the proceeds tothe Martyr’s Society.
“Recently, she’s been planning to collaborate with the top medical experts in Sumeria to provide freeclinics for the injured soldiers and the families of martyrs within Sumeria.”
Then, he summed up with emotion, “Luna has put in a lot of effort for all these!”
As he spoke, he did not forget to look at Andrius and observe his reaction.
Belarus had always held Andrius in high regard and did not forget his attempts to bring him and Lunatogether. Now, by mentioning these things, he hoped that Andrius would be moved by Luna’s effortsand reconsider his stance.
Andrius was genuinely touched by what he heard and said solemnly, “Luna, I want to express mysincere gratitude to you on behalf of the countless soldiers of Florence!”
The faces of the Crestfalls darkened slightly.
Andrius was still distant. If he considered them part of his family, why would he need to thank them?
Belarus and Luna also looked disappointed.
