"Young master." Zarek smiled.
Nox's mind spun, several thoughts flashing through his head. Of course, he knew who this person was.
He had encountered him during the inter-town summit and learned that he was one of his father's tamed creatures.
A vampire.
"You're alive," was the only thing that came out of Nox's mouth.
"Of course, I'm very much alive," Zarek smiled. "I heard you're the only human settlement still standing in the kingdom, so I came to seek refuge."
Some of the soldiers were slightly confused and needed context; however, none dared to interrupt the moment and simply watched.
"Well, you're always welcome here," Nox replied without much thought and then gestured to one of the soldiers to arrange a residential place for him.
Even though he didn't really know Zarek very well, Nox was certain of one thing—he was stronger than your average expert.
He believed the vampire would be a valuable addition to the Barony.
