"My lord!" Hershey exclaimed in surprise and joy.
She suppressed her excitement and responded.
"I have been well. How about you, my lord? I heard about what happened recently. I was worried about you."
Alaric smiled at her. "I'm alright."
Truthfully, he was still affected by his uncle's words, but he didn't want her to be needlessly worried.
"I'm glad that you're alright."
The two talked about other matters and their conversation flowed smoothly as if they had been waiting for this exact moment.
Suddenly, the two noticed a group of people approaching them.
Alaric raised an eyebrow when he saw these people.
"My lord. My lady." The person leading the group respectfully greeted before everyone followed suit.
Hershey politely smiled at them, while Alaric wore a strange look.
"How have you been, Lord Dylann?"
