While they were chatting, two figures suddenly emerged from the crowd of onlookers.
Christon furrowed his eyebrows, but when he saw who they were, his expression relaxed. "Your Highness!"
Giovanni and Andre also spotted them.
"Alaric, what are you doing here? You should be resting now." Giovanni spoke in a chiding tone.
Alaric chuckled at Giovanni, brushed past him, and stood before Christon. "You must be Lord Christon, the Commander of the Gryphon Knights Order. It's a pleasure to meet you, my lord."
"The pleasure is mine, Your Highness. I have heard a lot about you and it is my wish to meet you in person."
Christon was a man of prominent status, but he wasn't arrogant. He had a gentle temperament, quite unlike William who was always stern and rigid.
They exchanged pleasantries for almost a quarter of an hour before Christon asked them about the situation.
Giovanni and Alaric told him everything that happened.
