The Baron knew that man was deceiving him, but he couldn't help fantasizing whether there would be... even the slightest hope if he hadn't said those reckless words?
As for his son, he was even less able to hold on, feeling he wouldn't have died if not for the old man's loose tongue. Now he had nowhere to cry.
Lance was still kind-hearted. Seeing them in this state, he offered a comforting word.
"But don't worry, your other family members will take a little while to be escorted back. I'll make sure you get to see them all; after all, the whole family needs to be complete, right?"
Lance had no intention of wasting more time on them, leaving a remark behind as he was about to depart.
But the Baron completely broke down because the Lord didn't even ask where those things were hidden, implying he had already found those family members sent away days ago.
Defeated, completely defeated...
