After sending off Anton, Laine also bid farewell to Surya. The female Knight needed to return to Helunhilde for the Winter Festival, seizing the opportunity to leave before the heavy snow sealed the mountain passes.
Laine knew that if he asked, Surya would definitely be willing to stay in the Count's Domain to spend the festival with him. However, it was unnecessary. There would be plenty of time in the future, and it wasn't appropriate for the two of them to be together for too long before marriage, as it could damage Surya's reputation.
The female Knight had sacrificed a lot for Laine, and naturally, he also considered her feelings.
After sending off Surya, Angerong led the army back.
The song of triumph played, and the Count, along with the knights and soldiers who stayed behind, welcomed the return of the great army. Smiles were widespread across everyone's faces as carts and carts of spoils, laden with gold and silver, made the townspeople gaze in envy.
