Chapter 717: A Reunion Not As Planned
In her rush to get to Frazer’s house, Dandelion never realized that she was smiling just thinking about their reunion. A year has passed since they’d last met, and finally she could hug him again. Or so she thought, for the moment she reached his house, her expression dropped to the voice of Frazer’s mother yelling inside their house. The same went for the man’s sister, she too was upset about something, but exactly what? The elf couldn’t hear that properly.
"Jess? Are you there?" Knocking on the door, she stood quietly with her hands folded by her hips.
The voices died down to the knocks, and before long a pair of footsteps were getting closer and closer to the front door. Taking a step back, Dandy tried to hide her smile but it truly died when Frazer’s sister Jess opened the door with anger clearly visible on her face.
"Dandy? What are you doing here?" She asked, her gentle tone betraying her expression.
"I heard Frazer was back–"
"Ohh...Of course, come in I guess," Jess interjected, her face turning sour.
A bit taken aback, Dandy blinked to herself and just stared at the girl opening the door to invite her indoors. She’s never talked to her this way, but ever since her arrival, it had become abundantly clear that everybody was upset for some reason.
"Thanks." Walking inside the dusty, old house, Dandy was hit with a gust of nostalgia. She remembered long ago, entering this place for the last time. Long before Frazer had left the kingdom for his adventures and yet the place hadn’t changed one bit.
Feeling Jess’s hand on her side, she turned her head towards her. Heaving a sigh, Jess shook her head and forced a smile onto her lips.
"I know I know, we need to fix everything. If only my brother would have the decency to share some of his gold."
