After a brief silence, she finally chose to speak the truth.
âDebra, I did this for the good of Roz Townâs people.
Just like you mentioned, too many incidents have occurred in Thorn Edge Pack.
Itâs crucial for Roz Town residents to have its own defense force.
â
She then looked at me earnestly and pleaded in a gentle voice, âDebra, please donât mention this to Caleb.
Heâll surely oppose it.
If he does, even the basic safety of Roz Town will be at risk.
â
I hesitated.
Rileyâs point made sense.
Given the current state of affairs, there was still a long way to go before Roz Town residents and Thorn Edge Pack could coexist peacefully.
Hence, it was essential for the former to have a fallback plan.
If another incident like the fire happened, it would be a huge problem.
With a defense force, they could at least protect themselves.
Ideally, if Thorn Edge Pack and Roz Town residents could harmonize, the defense force wouldnât be necessary.
Everyone would be safe.
With these thoughts, I finally agreed.
âAlright, but you must manage them carefully.
Donât cause any issues, or I wonât be able to help.
â
âAbsolutely!â Riley replied confidently.
âI assure you they will act responsibly and blend in like regular citizens.
â
âThatâs reassuring.
â I nodded.
The tension eased.
We exchanged smiles of relief.

Soon after, the other drivers and security staff arrived.
We all worked together, assisting the townspeople with their belongings, escorting them to their new homes.
By the time we had settled all the residents, dusk had fallen.
It had been a while since we had caught up.
The three of us sat in a quaint pavilion by the road in the Roz District, taking the opportunity to rest and chat.
Riley was curious about my personal life.
She asked, âWhen do you plan to marry Caleb? Youâve been engaged for quite some time, and with Roz Townâs issues resolved, you should start planning your wedding.
â
Feeling a bit bashful, I blushed.
âRiley, Iâve got that info!â Zoe cut in, hardly able to contain her excitement.
Like a kid eager to impress, she quickly shared, âI heard Debra and Calebâs wedding is set after the third group of Roz Town residents arrive.
Since theyâve all arrived today, the wedding must be soon.
â
Riley was thrilled and inquired, âIs that really true?â
âYes!â Zoe responded with a confident tap on her chest.
âI swear itâs the truth.
If youâre doubting, feel free to ask Debra herself.
â
Confronted with Rileyâs expectant look, I gave a helpless nod.
âThatâs fantastic!â Riley smiled.
She had witnessed the growth of the relationship between me and Caleb.
Naturally, she was over the moon upon hearing the news.
Full of enthusiasm, she asked, âDebra, have you decided on the venue for the wedding? Iâm quite skilled at organizing wedding setups.
Let me handle it for you.
I guarantee itâll be unmatched!â
I felt touched.
