Chapter 320: The Generous Brother-in-law
The carriage arrived at the Amareses’ residence and stopped at the main gate, following the healer’s instructions. As the carriage door opened, Rafe and Callis stepped out, both taken aback by the busy scene in the houseyard.
People were busy organising the seating for the banquet and decorating the house. On one side, several individuals were diligently preparing a large assortment of food under the erected tent. Others had just arrived, bringing cooking appliances, more ingredients, and other items.
"Are they preparing for the banquet?" Callis asked, still bewildered as she observed the numerous people bustling about, engrossed in their tasks.
"I believe so," Rafe replied slowly, trying to make sense of the situation.
"These people... do you know them? I thought father mentioned it would be only friends and immediate family," the Mederian Princess turned to her husband and inquired.
The healer surveyed the scene once more. Many of the faces were familiar to him. He recognised the butcher from the market, the florist, the fishmonger, and several others. The entire market community seemed to have been summoned to his parents’ house.
"I do know some of them," Rafe admitted, feeling slightly uneasy with the overwhelming number of people present.
"This is exciting! I can’t wait to get to know them," Callis exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Let’s go inside first and see father and mother," the healer suggested, hoping to find some answers.
Callis nodded in agreement, and together, she and Rafe walked along the path that led from the main gate. As they approached, the people around them couldn’t help but gaze at the couple, their smiles widening with excitement.
"Hey! Our Rafe is back with his wife!" someone exclaimed, and gradually, more and more people began to flock around them.
