章節 168: A Lot Could Happen In Three Years

Blaise was in Nyria when he received word that he needed to come back immediately to make it onto the next ship to Annalaias. He had been traveling for months, only stopping back in Shibatsu to get another assignment before leaving again.

This time he stopped back at home to deliver presents he bought in other countries to his parents and sisters. He had a feeling he wouldn't be seeing them again for a very long time and felt it necessary to visit them.

His mother fussed too much, as expected from her only son coming back for the first time in about a year, and he brushed off her smothering. His brother-in-law was doing a great job helping run the inn and for that he would always be grateful.

"You helped me out," he confessed when no one else was listening. "I did not want to be a carpenter like my father. Too much manual labor."

Blaise smiled. Things had worked out for both of them better than he had hoped.
