Lance walked straight into the detached cottage allocated to William due to his need to keep dogs.
As soon as he approached, he heard barking. Upon entering, he saw Fergus, who had been frolicking in the yard, run to a corner. The dog, previously very enthusiastic, inexplicably seemed to fear his arrival, leaving Lance somewhat embarrassed.
He did bear some responsibility. He had brought Wang Cai to William, hoping he could train the dog. Unexpectedly, aside from Lance himself, the beast wouldn't obey anyone and had even bitten Fergus.
Now Fergus seemed a bit afraid of him.
"My Lord!" William emerged from the house, immediately looking around for the white wolf.
"Wang Cai didn't come," Lance said with a teasing smile. "You're a dog trainer. Why would you be afraid of that thing?"
