There were five barbarians in total. Three looked like they were teens and the other two were adults.
"I am sorry for the terrible experiences you had gone through. I feel ashamed as a resident of Astania." Alaric didn't the empire's relationship with the barbarian tribes to be strained so he apologized to them.
"You don't need to apologize, my lord. You are not at fault for this. If it weren't for the warriors you sent, we would have become slaves for those treacherous nobles!" Apoy sighed while shaking his head.
The barbarians seated next to him nodded in agreement. They were grateful to Alaric who had sent his warriors to rescue them.
"This is something that I should…"
