Chapter 230: The Village Chief's thoughts

"I thought you would catch up with us at the farm once you woke up," the Village Chief remarked to his wife, who was seated in the room alongside Ayla, patiently awaiting his arrival.

Zara, wearing a calm expression, replied, "Well, considering that you left the hut early, I decided to wait for a while, assuming you would return quickly.

Shortly after, some servants who had gone to gather today's fruits informed me that Hrok had announced his retirement, with Shani taking over his position." She observed her husband's furrowed brow, which gradually relaxed as he settled into his seat. "It seems something eventful occurred at the farm today. Care to fill me in on the details?"
