The answer was no.
Lian smiled and reached out, patting Lorne Jackson on the shoulder. The fallen noble was a truly handsome youth, rivaling even Lian's own looks from back in the day. 'But with my extra Charm bonus, I'm obviously a cut above now,' Lian thought.
"Welcome back, Lorne Jackson. From now on, we're family."
Lorne Jackson paid no mind to the blood staining Lian's hands, his gaze falling instead on the head Lian was holding.
"I also have Uncle Chris to thank. It was his sacrifice that saved me."
Hearing Lorne Jackson say this, Lian began to laugh.
Then, everyone from Green Shade Territory began to laugh along with him.
The other nobles, feeling it would be odd not to, began to laugh as well.
The atmosphere became surprisingly lively, with everyone seemingly swept up in the joy of the moment.
Lian placed Khrish's head back on his neck.
Catherine said to Mina,
"Have someone give Uncle Chris a proper burial. He was a benefactor of the Jackson Family."
