The Wolf’s Bride by Coffee’s Tea

Chapter 923
Creak...
Before long, the door swung open.
The butler who opened the door froze when he saw Andrius.
“An... Wolf... Sir...” His lips trembled uncontrollably, changing the way of address thrice before finally settling on the last one,
which he felt was the most appropriate.
Andrius smiled faintly.
“He’s back! Master, Mr. Moonshade is back-”
The butler was suddenly filled with excitement and rushed back into the manor, shouting as he went.
At his words, the entire Crestfall Manor became lively, sizzling like water being poured into a hot pan.
“Andrius! Andrius, you’re back! It’s good that you’ve returned—”
The person running at the front was Belarus. He appeared even older than before, but his steps were brisk. When he saw
Andrius, he wished he had longer legs. His aged face was beaming with an enthusiasm that could melt the frost of winter.
Harry, Luna, and the other members of the Crestfalls also rushed over.
Luna was concerned that Belarus would fall and assisted him while running with him.
“Grandpa Belarus.”
Seeing this, Andrius also quickly went over. Kate naturally followed behind him.
Luna did not notice Kate at first, but after she did, she paused in shock, and her eyes instantly flickered with a strange glint.
This woman...
She was the Maiden of the Medicine Sect, Kate Klein, the person that Old Hagstorm told her to impersonate.

However, Luna was not the Luna of the past. She thought of her identity and immediately pretended to be calm as if she did not
know anything.
Unbeknownst to her, Kate had always been clever and quick–witted. She was very observant and keenly caught the subtle
change in Luna’s expression earlier. Although she did not know why Luna looked surprised, she still found it strange.
Of course, Kate did not reveal it.
The two women had their own thoughts.
“Husband, you’re back.”
Luna did not know what was Kate’s relationship with Andrius, but she knew that Andrius had spent time in the Medicine Sect
recently. She was certain that there must have been some interaction between him and Kate. Thus, her casual use of the term
‘husband‘ was a form of
asserting her status.
Andrius frowned slightly, but in front of the entire Crestfalls and especially in front of Belarus, he could not refuse and simply
nodded with a soft hum.
Then, he handed the medicine he was carrying to Belarus. “Grandpa Belarus, this is a tonic I prepared especially for you. Your
health will greatly improve after taking it.
“Oh, you...”
Belarus was touched by Andrius‘ concern for his health. He patted Andrius‘ shoulder heavily. His eyes were warm as he
gestured for Harry to take the medicine.
“How have you been these days?” Belarus asked with concern, “From the war with the Western Nations, the fake emperor’s trial,
then to the campaign of capturing the fake emperor, it’s been one thing after another. Although your contributions have been
extraordinary, it must have been very tough on you.”
Fortunately, he was unaware of the affairs involving the four great martial families. Otherwise, he would have been even more
worried.

Andrius smiled and said, “I’m fine, Grandpa Belarus. In truth, it was the soldiers who did most of the work. I was just overseeing
the overall situation at most. The credit should go to the soldiers who lost their lives on the battlefield.”
Those were Andrius‘ heartfelt words.
Belarus stroked his beard and cast a glance at Luna, then said, “Speaking of the soldiers... During this time, Luna has done a lot
for the Valiant Institute.
“Not only has she actively communicated with the municipal government to expedite the compensation for the martyr’s families,
but she also personally visited the Valiant Institute multiple times to provide medical treatment to the injured soldiers.
“In addition, she used her influence to organize several charity drives and donated all the proceeds to the Martyr’s Society.
“Recently, she’s been planning to collaborate with the top medical experts in Sumeria to provide free clinics for the injured
soldiers and the families of martyrs within Sumeria.”
Then, he summed up with emotion, “Luna has put in a lot of effort for all these!”
As he spoke, he did not forget to look at Andrius and observe his reaction.
Belarus had always held Andrius in high regard and did not forget his attempts to bring him and Luna together. Now, by
mentioning these things, he hoped that Andrius would be moved by Luna’s efforts and reconsider his stance.
Andrius was genuinely touched by what he heard and said solemnly, “Luna, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you on
behalf of the countless soldiers of Florence!”
The faces of the Crestfalls darkened slightly.
Andrius was still distant. If he considered them part of his family, why would he need to thank them?
Belarus and Luna also looked disappointed.
