The days passed quietly, and before Riley realized it, an entire month had slipped by.
Throughout that time, his daily routine barely changed.
He spent most of his days enjoying the peaceful life he had found within the Totem Clan.
There were no major disturbances, no urgent missions, and no enemies coming to challenge him.
His maidservant, meanwhile, had practically become his shadow.
Wherever Riley went, she followed.
If he walked through the clan grounds, she was beside him.
If he sat beneath a tree to enjoy the scenery, she would quietly remain nearby.
Even during his meals, she was always there to attend to his needs.
Riley honestly wouldn't have minded if this peaceful lifestyle continued indefinitely.
Unfortunately, the world had never been particularly kind to those who wanted a quiet life.
No matter how peaceful things appeared, unexpected events could always arrive without warning.
And on this particular night, something extraordinary happened.
