Calren had nothing to do after reporting his findings to his master. He was to return to the capital and monitor how things were going and report back.
The shadow head was not concerned about what his master did; the Count had his complete loyalty. After all, he was practically raised under the Count's care.
A few hundred meters from the estate's walls, Calren called out into the darkness. "We're returning to the capital to continue our mission."
No reply came, and no one stepped out of the darkness. Calren frowned for a bit, finding this strange. He quickly raised his guard and retrieved a pair of daggers, hiding them in his sleeves.
'Something is wrong here,' The head shadow deduced calmly, his eyes roaming around searching for anything out of place. 'They should have stepped out by now…'
"Impressive."
