He had faced armies, powerful beasts, and terrifying creatures inside the Abyss, but none of them made him feel as helpless as his mother's questions.
Ardyn could no longer hold back his laughter. "You see? I told you he would be fine."
Serene immediately glared at him. "You stay quiet."
Ardyn's laughter stopped.
He raised both hands in surrender. "Alright, alright."
Serene turned her attention back to Thoren and carefully examined him once again.
Only after confirming that there were no obvious injuries on his body did she finally relax. Then Ardyn came closer and clapped Thoren on his shoulder, unable to hide the grin on his face.
"I told you he will be back to us." He bragged.
Thoren looked at him. "You have been saying that since I left?"
"Of course."
Ardyn raised his chin proudly. "I knew my son would return."
Serene rolled her eyes at her shameless husband before grabbing Thoren's arm.
"Come inside."
