When Theo heard his father's voice, he quickly went on his feet and looked toward him in surprise. He had never thought about meeting him anywhere other than the dinner hall and the office.
The guard who was attacking stopped his kick right at the moment the Baron spoke. It was a command directly from the owner of the whole place. He faced his body toward the Baron right away.
Theo straightened his body and controlled his breathing before he bowed nobly toward his father. There were sweaty stains all over his body.
"It is great to see you're alright, father." Theo spoke while using all his breath, a genuine smile etched on his face.
Every other guard and lower status members around went on one knee to show the utmost respect.
And it was not just because of the obligation. There was genuine respect toward the Baron.
The Baron moved his hand slowly and the ones on their knees understood; they went back up and looked at him with respect.
