Jihl gently stroked Bao Bei's fluffy red and black hair, trying to calm his nervous fidgeting as he stretched his neck and looked around eagerly, waiting for someone.
Bao Bei's dog ears twitched and perked up. Thanks to his sharp hearing, he seemed to sense them before they even came into view.
Soon, large carriages passed through the gate and entered the alcove where Bao Bei was waiting.
One, two, three… ten carriages in total.
Seeing that many sturdy carriages marked with the emblem of the Kingdom of Nabradia was quite a sight.
Bao Bei froze in surprise at the unexpected number of carriages.
When a royal guard opened one of the carriage doors, a small child suddenly jumped out.
"Ah, no! Stop!"
Right behind the child, a brown dog-eared priest came out and tried to catch the child. Bao Bei instantly recognized him and shouted with joy.
"Father Finnick!"
Finnick who is now holding the child in his arms looked at Bao Bei and gave him a big, warm smile.
