Chapter 131
It had been three days since he arrived at the Stark Family main estate.
Though no one would have blamed him if he stayed longer to recover from his journey, Khal chose to return to Altair immediately.
On a morning thick with fog, Khal and Sarah Stark were saying their goodbyes in front of the carriage.
As if loath to part with her son, she adjusted Khal’s cloak while speaking incessantly.
“Don’t skip meals just because you’re busy. There might be poison in your food, so always check with your silver utensils first. Make sure to bring your sword whenever you head into battle. And you must feed Bava well.”
“…”
Her words were a jumbled mess of serious warnings and things that bordered on the absurd. At this point, one might wonder if she was truly worried about him, but seeing her downcast expression, Khal cracked a smile to ease her concerns.
“I won’t forget my sword, and that fellow eats well enough on his own.”
Purr!
At that moment, Bagrova, who had licked the snow and was startled by the sudden chill, ran toward Khal with his fur standing on end. Seeing this, Sarah asked with a happy expression,
“Hehehe, how cute. What breed of cat is that?”
Gyaaaa-ong!
I’m not a cat!
Bagrova let out a loud cry as if in protest, but Khal delivered a blunt remark that completely ignored the beast’s noble lineage.
“I just picked him up off the street.”
Gyaaaa-ong!
I said I’m not!
The enraged Bagrova tried to bite Khal’s leg, but Khal, having anticipated the move, lightly pushed Bagrova away with his foot. The creature could do nothing but flail his legs helplessly.
