The afternoon in town was peaceful. The scent of baking bread wafted from the bakery onto the cobblestone main street, and children ran through the back alleys. Amidst this tranquil scene, a young man walked with a hurried pace.
His blonde hair caught the sunlight. Heine Frontz walked with his leather shoulder bag swinging, his lips pressed firmly together. His yellow eyes glared at a single point ahead. At the end of his gaze was a familiar red braid.
In front of the knight's station facing the town square, Aldo had just come out, chatting with a colleague. The afternoon sun reflected off his white military uniform, and passing girls whispered and blushed. It was a common sight.
Heine stopped. He was just a few steps away. Clenching his fist inside his pocket, he forced a bright, artificial voice.
Hey, Aldo. You seem to be in a good mood today.
A smile. It was a perfect smile. Only his eyes weren't smiling.
Aldo turned around, looking momentarily taken aback. Then he immediately returned to his usual composed expression.
Oh, it's Heine. What's up, you need something from me?
He raised a hand slightly and signaled to his colleague to go on ahead.
