After everything had settled, Ara and Hamon returned to the barracks, and Ara explained how she had survived the fire with the help of Merek. And also how she killed Cornell in the forest.
Hamon was initially confused by the story recounted to him by his wife, but after calming down and listening to Ara, understanding gradually made its way back to his mind.
"I'll be sure to reward Merek for saving my wife when we return."
Ara nodded, "Yes, he deserves it. It was because of him I am here right now. He risked his life to bring me out of the fire..."
"I will see him later, but on the contrary, I have to reprimand you, my wife." He said seriously.
"...?" Ara looked puzzled at Hamon's sudden change in tone. He continued strictly, "Why the heck did you go after Cornell? What if something went horribly wrong?"
