"Rafayel, Khazan, we'll handle the punishment for those men. You've done more than enough. You're free to go—let the people worrying about you know you're safe."
"Thank you very much, Captain Tywald," Rafayel replied with a bow.
After giving his thanks, he turned to Thomas and said, "Brother, I'll leave the rest to you. Once I've finished what I came here to do, I'll return home—so don't worry and focus on your work."
Thomas gave a reluctant, "Got it."
"Come on, Thomas! There's still a ton of work to be done! If you want to go home early, move faster!" Tywald barked, pushing Thomas out of the room.
As he left, he threw Rafayel a quick wink over his shoulder—so smooth it was impressive.
After that, Rafayel and Khazan exited the building and immediately made their way to the church.
"Quina!"
As soon as Rafayel shouted, the children at the church rushed over to him all at once and embraced him tightly.
