As they passed through the garden, Alford whispered something to the guard beside him.
They weren't speaking in Anmag. It made Angele furrow his brows. Though he could hear what they were saying, he couldn't understand a single word.
The guard nodded in response before separating with the group and walking toward the right side of the garden. The garden was huge, and only after walking for more than 10 minutes did they finally reach the exit.
Angele finally saw the castle gate after walking past an ornamental pond. The gate was already open, and standing on both sides were maids and servants awaiting their arrival. It was still dark outside, but Angele could see the warm lights coming from inside the castle.
“Father, were you looking for me?” someone asked from behind.
“My son, you're finally here!” Alford exclaimed. This time, he had a face filled with gentleness — unlike when he was dealing with Tinos.
