Chapter 62 - 62: Worried
Another day passed and the people that Fredrinn sent to the Bargan District had already returned, except for one person.
Fredrinn paced around his study with a big frown on his face. "Did something happen to Cain?" He muttered.
He asked the two squad leaders who came with Cain to Bargan District, but the two of them only told him that Cain went off to the Morten Household's estate to gather more information.
"Worrying for him won't help me. I might as well sort out the information they got from Bargan District." Fredrinn muttered as he went back to his desk.
He tried to immerse himself in the task, but he couldn't maintain his focus because was too worried about Cain's safety.
An hour later, he heard a series of knocking on his door. He raised an eyebrow as he went to the door.
Waiting for him outside was Gunnar whose face was covered in sweat. "My lord, Sir Cain is back!"
"What?! Where is he?" Fredrinn stepped out of his study and looked behind Gunnar to
Cain took a deep breath and told him everything that had transpired.
According to him, he managed to sneak inside the estate of the Morten Household. He even got his hands on some really important documents that would connect the Morten Household to the Snake Gang. Unfortunately, he was discovered on his way out of the estate and was forced to engage in battle with the elders and the guards who were at the scene.
He managed to kill one of the elders and more than ten guards who chased after him, but he was also gravely wounded during the battle. He was only lucky enough to flee during the commotion and he used the darkness of the night to his advantage.
"You have done well surviving that trip, Cain. However, you should overdo it next time. I know that you want to complete your task flawlessly, but there is no need to endanger your life. The mission is important, but your life is more important. Do you understand?" Fredrinn gave him a stern look.
Cain nodded calmly. "Yes, my lord."
Seeing this, Fredrinn could only smile while shaking his head.
"Get some rest for the entire morning, but I need you to come to my study before evening. There is still one task at hand that only you can do."
He left the sick room after saying this.
Doctor Noel was already waiting for him outside. "My lord, here's the list of herbal medicines."
"Thank you, Sir Noel. Please keep an eye on Cain in the meantime." Fredrinn thanked the old doctor.
"Of course! He is my patient so it's only right for me to take care of him." Doctor Noel chuckled.
The two exchanged a few more words before Fredrinn bid the old doctor farewell. He then returned to his study with a lighter heart. Knowing that Cain was safe, he was relieved.
