Chapter 783
"It’s been a while," Ian replied with a faint smirk.
With Mev riding Nila alongside the carriage like a moving shield, he didn’t need to worry about drawing attention.
"I was aware you’d need to meet the count first, of course…" Fael said, nodding briefly to Spello as the knight stepped back.
He then turned and walked alongside the carriage. "But I just couldn’t wait. So I came to greet you in person."
"Don’t act like you’re doing anything special." A Northern guard cut in sharply as he fell in step beside them.
Ignoring Fael’s slight frown, Bor bowed his head. "It’s good to see you again, demigod."
Ian paused for a split second, then let out a low chuckle. "So I get called that again… It’s been a while, Bor. Your gear’s improved."
"He’s just discovered the joy of spending money." Fael clicked his tongue and gestured for Bor to step back.
Snorting, Bor gave Ian one last respectful bow before retreating.
