As their rallied army was taking a break in the middle of their march toward Richtpole, Prince Paul's keen senses took heed of something that was heading their rallied army of around eighty thousand strong. He reined in his horse and maneuvered it around.
From the horizon, he squinted his eyes and caught a glimpse of a man riding on a stunning black stallion. With ginger hair and a suit of black, Paul immediately recognized the man. Duke Lancer and Marquis Krieg noticed the approach of the man as well, keeping an eye on him until he reached their location.
"It's been so long, Rick."
"You as well, Your Highness."
The man, Rick, formally nodded to the prince before shifting his attention to the person he had not personally seen yet. Upon finally seeing Rick, who was one of their greatest collaborators, Edward was intrigued by his magnetism and already had a nice first impression of him.
