It took a while but Grey finally started speaking with his father once again. He wasn't really too annoyed with him, especially after he gave him a detailed explanation.
When stepping out of the cave, Grey saw a familiar figure standing outside.
"It's you!" He exclaimed softly.
"Hello, Young Lord." The man standing outside bowed to Grey with a smile.
"Allow me to formally introduce myself, my name is Arlys Orvyn."
"Guardian?" Grey asked with a raise of his brows.
"I guessed you already knew. But yes, I was tasked to make sure you don't die." Arlys replied.
"To think I had such a powerful guardian with me all this while and I was chased across the entire Azure Continent." Grey shook his head with a wry smile.
