As he breathed a soft sigh, it betrayed the worry on his face. "Had I known better, I would have moved heaven and earth to rope him into Island Watch. Look at this now—we're part of the same family, but I'm the subordinate instead."
Turning away from the doorway, he heaved yet another sigh. He was no longer lost in his reflection, his hefty frame heading off to begin the preparations for the upcoming events.
At the entrance of Island Watch, well-dressed soldiers emerged one after another—this time with vibrant carpets and festive arrangements instead of weaponry, leading the groups of people on the street to comment.
"What’s going on with Island Watch?"
"Might have an important person arrive? Why all the grandeur?"
"These cowards who prey on the weak are finally getting their comeuppance!"
The soldiers of Island Watch remained expressionless and headed on their own way.
As the minutes ticked by, a commanding figure appeared in the distance. Behind him was a group of powerful, imposing men.
The bystanders who had gathered near Island Watch’s gates to watch the spectacle quickly scattered.
"Such a large team! Which dock is it coming from?"
"No idea! Haven’t the docks and Island Watch always been at odds?"
"Looks like the tides are shifting for the island!"
Just as Matthew's tall, handsome frame gradually approached, the bystanders' silhouettes quickly vanished. Maintaining a calm expression, he observed the Island Watch soldiers who had lined up to welcome him. Flanking him was Allyson, who gazed at such a scene with a twinge of nostalgia. Her memories flickered, knowing that the last time she witnessed such a spectacle was a decade ago before Casimir ended her father's life.
