Chapter 11: The Departure
After their fight, Aldrian and Eleine returned to the village. Aldrian still felt obligated to ask for permission from two people. He arrived at the front of a simple house made of wood with a straw roof. A beautiful garden, neatly arranged with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, adorned the front of the house, with a flow of water from underground passing through the side of the garden, adding to its beauty.
An old man with white hair and a long white beard was leaning on a wooden chair in front of the house. He looked serene, his eyes closed as he seemed to enjoy the tranquility of the village. When Aldrian and Eleine arrived, the old man sensed their presence and opened his eyes.
When he saw Aldrian, he smiled at the boy who seemed to have grown so fast, remembering when he was just a newborn. When Aldrian stood in front of him, the old man spoke to his visitors.
"When the night comes, the stars will shine beautifully. When the sun rises in the sky, the stars lose their light, but in the end, the sun is also a star. What brings you here, young master?"
Aldrian, hearing this old man's nonsense, felt embarrassed and sighed. "Grandpa, don't you think it's embarrassing? Every time I come to you, you always say something like that."
Aldrian knew that his complaint would fall on deaf ears, so he just let the old man have his way.
