Chapter 457 - An Unfair Toll
At noon, inside the dining table of the Religias family.
Inside there was normally Seman, Margaret and Nance with the temporary non-attendance of Samantha and Sarah. The new guests in the table were none other than me and Veronica.
All of us were eating our meal in peaceful silence with their being the occasional talk with one another, mostly about myself or Veronica. But Veronica was the one who got the most attention as she was new to the table and Seman and Nance were very interested in her.
So much that Margaret had to shot looks to the guys not to ask out of line.
It was close to finishing time when I thought appropriate to speak up.
"I will be leaving in an hour."
Everybody looked up from that.
"Hour?" Seman raised his brow, "Not days?"
I nod, "Yes, my lord. I thought best to leave as soon as possible."
"Did something happen, Henry? With the Dragonoir’s or anything?" Margaret asked.
"Not yet. But its best that I leave now before something strange befalls my place. Besides, there’s some matters there that I need to settle."
"If you have any problems, do not hesitate to ask me for help, Henry." Veronica said.
