Villain's Will: Redemption

..෴✿۝CHAPTER 38۝✿෴..

The beefy man with a taller stature than Willow awkwardly greeted.

"Greetings captain" Damien greeted while Sid also made an awkward posture beside him. Those who was also seated from the box seat went down to offer a greeting while the one's inside the wagon groaned incomprehensible words after sensing the wagon stopped.

"You arrived later than expected"

"Haah" Damien was about to speak informally but the stares directed to them made him double think.

What a pain, they'll think lesser of us if we spoke like usual. "Circumstances has appeared, captain" Damian spoke.

At his way off speaking, Willow guessed his train of thoughts.

"Just speak like usual Damian, it makes me feel like a stranger" she spoke loudly, disregarding how people would see her reputation.

"If that's what you wish" contrary to his words, Damian still put on his front. He knew that if he did as Willow wished, they'll think of their captain as some ill-bred noble that has no tact. They may be ignorant on how the etiquettes of nobility works but Damian knew what is seen to be civil and not.

"Are we here yet?" Willow heard the groans from the wagons and there, the wasted warriors unloaded one by one.

Same with Damien and Sid, they felt the tensed pressure from the servant's gazes.

"We all greet the captain" They stood on guard and quickly manifested a manner they don't know they can execute.

Willow casually checked on them and simply nodded. "Well done bringing those bums here" the servants expression twitched at her words but didn't openly show any of their thoughts.

"What are you doing? Move your ass" The boisterous duo came into view.

"Oh, hello there" Cyrus greeted like usual."

"Where's the captain? Get out of the way." Kaya dived on the sea of meat and saw Willow the first one,

"Captain!" she waved merrily while Damian groaned at building a professional image on the first meeting.

The comic scene made everyone chuckle causing the tensed atmosphere to lighten. The intense gaze they thought now look more like a professional and nervous one at closer inspection.

"Show them to their accommodation please." At her que, the servants bowed and spoke in unison, "We greet the important guest of the Empire, welcome to the Liariaz household"

The black warriors unknowingly followed the warm accommodation of the servants after they made a brief introduction. Time passed by and the place has gotten livelier. Both parties get to know each other while unloading the wagons. Everything looked fine and this brought satisfaction to Willow.

Good, what competence. Bronwyn picked just the right personel.

"Stop making passes and move your ass here!" Willow heard Kaya yell and saw how she carry a box while Cyrus was warming up with the maid on the side. She averted her eyes at the normal occurrence and was satisfied at the overall ambiance.

"You brought good people, Bronwyn"

"My, you flatter me, I'm only doing my work" They began to walk as Willow tagged along to the East building.

Willow chuckled at his humility. "Is that so?"

"Yes, of course"

"I see, how is dinner? Will the duke be back in time?"

Willow double think if she should invite the prideful duke to dine among diverse mercenaries but the thought of the master of the house not greeting the guess is quite rude.
