Sitting under the shade of the oak tree, countless thoughts swirled inside Adam's mind. His heart was churning with tumultuous waves as a result.
"Anna," he softly muttered, his lips curling up into a smile. "So she's returned!"
Seeing Adam's reaction, the middle-aged man understood that he knew the red-haired lady. He was grateful to have shared the information with him in the end. Because earlier, he was hesitating to.
Meanwhile, Adam was ecstatic at the discovery. He turned to the middle-aged man and asked eagerly, "When did you say she came here?"
"Almost three months ago, my lord," the man answered truthfully.
"And she was in a group?"
"Yes, my lord." The man nodded. "Two men and two women. Although one of the men was very old."
Adam lowered his head, sinking into deep thoughts. The people with her should be from her Kingdom. Her retinue, perhaps? And this old man… He's very likely to be her protector.
