As if driven away by the ferocious scene, the dark clouds faded from the gloomy heavens, revealing an even clearer picture of the colorful cosmic wonder of Valoria's night.
Now that the relentless rain had finally ceased, the scene below it had also entered a fitting closure. The fallen blood was washed away by the previous downpour as the remaining bandits that assaulted Marius was blown into nothingness, forever ending their tale.
At this time, Marius was busy treating Grevlin's chest wounds; he gently wiped some ointment on his surface before bandaging his chest, showing a look akin to a more caring and loving father.
"Are you feeling better now?" Marius asked in a gentle tone.
"Yes father," Grevlin replied with a joyful smile on his face, but deep down, one would see that his eyes had a slightly different look when recalling how he almost died by the sneak attack.
Marius knew that Grevlin wasn't as okay as he tried to appear, but he said nothing; this was something he had to figure out on his own; when he does come to understand, he would have matured from his current self.
By now, Vawn had already recovered from his previous state, cleaning himself up as he also fixed his son's attire. Now that the bandits were annihilated, you could say that both he and his son had been given a new lease on life, but sadly, he still had other matters to worry over.
"How can a random man with such power just up and appear in this remote route to Ivanov? I can't even tell if he's on the level of a Famed Warrior, or those rumored Imperial Knights. Not only that, his child has a strange ability to summon unusual beings, what kind of family is this?' Vawn thought to himself as he stared at Marius and Grevlin with a thoughtful look on his face.
Vawn pondered for a good while until Marius helped Grevlin up and looked as if he prepared to leave; he shook his head saying nothing as he also wanted to hurry and get out of here, the bad weather from before along with the near-death experience had been far too much for his mind.
Jae hesitated a bit as if he wanted to call out to Grevlin, but as he felt his father pulling him towards the carriage, he said nothing and only followed in silence.
The scene here seemed as if it was going to be a silent parting between strangers, but suddenly, a voice sounded from nearby.
"Honey, it seems that you've already finished up, shall we get going?" The lovely voice said, seeming to carry an innate bewitching power that could charm the soul of any man.
Vawn, being a man of wealth, was no stranger to beauties and their traits; just by hearing that voice, he knew it was a woman of a different kind of look, far from even the epitome of high-grade brothels.
He turned his head, unable to resist the urge, only to be greeted by the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. A lithe figure garbed in a simple but decent dress that further enhanced her beauty. Her long green hair cascaded down her back as she held onto her sleeping angel with a warm look from her mesmerizing purple eyes, directed to the handsome and strong man before her.
'Be...beautiful... absolutely beautiful; I would have never believed that I meet such a superior quality lady, especially after such an event. I... what do I do...'
Vawn wasn't what you might call an exemplary man. He was a figure with countless affairs and would do anything to get what he wanted, even more so in business and romance. Even though he knew of the dangers, he couldn't just let such a sight pass his eyes.
"Come with me, let us offer our thanks to our savor," Vawn said as he gave his son Jae a good look, pulling him along towards Marius's direction.
Not paying attention to them, Marius looked at his wife with a smile as he spoke, "It was only an exercise, Grevlin was a bit hesitant, but you could say he performed pretty well for his age. You're right; it's about time we left this place, it's a bit gloomy. I wonder which direction is the nearest town from here..."
Ria looked at him before she spoke with a smile, "Oh, that's easy. I can find it if I..."
Ria was about to say something, but Grevlin's attention soon shifted to the side, noticing that Vawn was nearing. He spoke to interrupt her.
"Mother, that man is coming over."
