Chapter 202 - 20: Salted Fish Port
The wind lightly blew, and the silver moon banner on the castle fluttered noisily.
Salted Fish Port was the only place on the entire continent that routinely hung the silver moon banner and was also the only territory that legally truly belonged to Gray.
Early in the morning, Shelley was already at the roadside in Salted Fish Port with Richie, waiting for her husband to return.
However, it was just the two of them. The world around them was desolate and quiet.
The news that Gray was a Lich had spread across the entire continent, and everyone knew. Since Gray was set to return, the residents of Salted Fish Port who could leave had already departed, and those who remained had closed their doors and windows tightly. There wasn’t a welcoming crowd, and even the streets were empty, as though the town had turned into a ghost town overnight.
The soldiers guarding the town had already left, and the maids had been dismissed. After all, nobody wanted to ally themselves with darkness. Once it was confirmed that Gray was a Lich, whether or not this Lich was righteous seemed to be a discussion no one wanted to continue.
Strictly speaking, Little Richie was only a little over a year old but looked as if he were five or six, quietly holding Shelley’s hand and standing by her side.
Hidden away, his Guardian Angel and tempter demon—Delia and Sarina—lurking quietly from afar. Similarly hidden, Catherine and Abod quietly floated in the sky.
The wind gently blew, caressing Shelley’s hair, pressing down the green grass. She stood quietly, waiting for her husband to return.
"Mama, how much longer do we have to wait? It’s been two days already," Richie asked, looking up.
"Are you tired?" Shelley asked.
