Chapter 162: A bath in fairy dew water.

The rest of the day was a busy one for Sigrid, Roland and all the Thorin’s. It took an entire day for most of the renovations both inside and outside to be done. By the time the sun set, everyone was stretching or groaning.

Roland sighed in relief, it was a game, a disturbing one. That look on his mother-in-law’s face however did not look like the face of someone playing.
