Apology

"Oi!" Noel waved his hands to the distance.

The people from the village were confused because they could hear the voice but see no one due to the darkness. 

Noel forgot that the only reason he could find them was the Moon Blessing, so he came closer. "I'm here!"

"Ah, that's the boy!" 

Jasmine was the first one to run to him, checking his condition. "Are you alright? Is there any wound?"

"Ahaha, I'm quite lucky." Noel chuckled.

Jasmine let out a sigh of relief. "That's good then."

"I should be the one apologizing to all of you. I seem to have caused a lot of destruction in the surrounding area." Noel lowered his head, apologizing to Jasmine and all the villagers. 

"Wait, wait! Don't lower your head! Even though you have been stripped from your rank, you were a noble. You shouldn't lower your head that easily! And I can't truly accept it because I was once your father's subordinate." 

"What? He was a noble?"
