Renard quickly came close and hugged Kale and added, "My friend, I can't believe it's already been a few years since we met in your village... Wait, what was your village's name again? I forgot…"
"Anyway, you really changed so much...wow"
Renard was acting as if he had just met a long-lost friend after so many years. But the more Renard acted in such a friendly manner, the more Kale felt unsettled.
Kale sighed as he thought back to when he first met this guy.
It was a few years ago. Kale was hunting wild beasts on the outer edges of Dagan. Due to his harmony with nature, he could command the animals to his bidding before he had been cursed.
Renard, who was passing by his village in a fancy carriage at that time, spotted this anomaly: how all the animals were flocking around a village boy for some strange reason.
Renard drew close and introduced himself to Kale as a merchant-family heir from the capital.
