Chapter 55 Terrified

• When the sun finally set in the west, Emery and Marianne were busy serving dinner to the wounded soldiers. As the former exited the tent, she was greeted by Gaius who was wearing a worried look that made him paler than usual.
• “Lady Emery… Can I have some of your time?” he asked.
• Nodding her head, the two of them headed to the elder’s private tent. Emery prepared some tea before sitting right across from him with the expectation that they would be talking about his grandson, Pearce.
