Having said that, Anna lightly kissed Winters' cheek and gently pushed him away.
Winters looked at Anna one last time as if he wanted to capture this moment of her in his eyes.
Then, he resolutely let go of Anna's hand.
"Rest assured, I will take good care of Longevity," Scarlett said softly.
Mrs. Mitchell, arm in arm with Scarlett, gave Winters a gentle nod.
In that moment, Catherine, too, abandoned her usual demeanor and simply said to Winters, "You must live, don't leave my sister alone… don't forget, you still owe my family a thousand Ducats."
Winters thanked each of the people from Wolf Town who had come to see him off, and finally, he approached Pierre, "I'm leaving Wolf Town in your hands."
"Rest assured," Pierre said, his face still pale as he raised his hand in salute.
Winters nodded, then mounted his horse.
His gaze slowly swept over the blacksmith's workshop, the sawmill, and the church, all burnt to ashes.
