"You... Fine."
Colin hesitated for a moment but still took the ring she offered.
While they were chatting, Colin suddenly spotted a few familiar figures under a streetlight on the street corner.
Looking closer, he realized it was the Paladin squad he had met back at the Black Tower.
They were standing in the distance, waving at him, apparently beckoning him over.
"Alright, Sela, go find your father for now. I have some friends who want to have a private word with me," Colin said with a smile, waving his hand.
"Then... goodbye, Colin." Sela still seemed to have more to say, but in the end, she walked away, glancing back every few steps.
After saying goodbye to her, he and Ale walked over to the Paladins, who were dressed in formal attire.
The men didn't say a word, silently walking on ahead down the street. Colin was a bit baffled, but he could only follow quietly behind them.
Once there was no one else around, Colin spoke up. "Did you call me over for something?"
