Their discussion ended on a positive note.
"Venerable One, are you planning to return soon?" Garandel asked on their way out of the treehouse.
Lucas found his new title quite awkward, but he still nodded and replied in a calm tone. "We will return once our injured soldiers are ready to go."
"I see. Then I will inform our healers to prioritize the recovery of your warriors." Garandel didn't insist on making them stay. He knew that Lucas still had to take care of his territory.
"That would be great. Thank you, Your Majesty." Lucas responded with a look of gratitude.
A moment later, they finally stepped out of the treehouse.
"This is as far as I can take you, Venerable Lucas. I still need to take care of some things so I hope you will understand my situation." Said Garandel in an apologetic manner.
If he could, he would follow Lucas all day and deepen their friendship. However, he was bound to his duties as the king of the Greenwood Kingdom.
