Chapter 21 - Outlining
"Are you sure, my Lady?" Garside asked as he stood in front of the desk in the mansion's office.
"Yes. The sooner this is dealt with, the better," Scarlett said. "We have allowed the current situation to proceed for far too long."
Garside bowed, his shoulder-length grey hair springing from the movement. "I will personally see it done."
Scarlett nodded her head in approval. "Remember to confirm what the necessary procedures are as well. I will not have this become more complicated than it has to."
"As you wish. I will carry out your commands immediately," he responded. This was why Scarlett liked the man. Not only was he one of the few people that didn't even slightly irk the Scarlett part of her, but he was also incredibly efficient in basically everything he did. She would have been so much more lost in this world if he wasn't here to help her.
"Is there anything you need while I am gone, my Lady?" Garside continued. "I will relay the orders to the other servants."
She thought about it. There was something she had wanted to look into. "I require maps of the surroundings fiefs, as well as a map of all active Kilnstones," she said after a moment.
Garside's mustache trembled slightly as he grew a thoughtful expression across his wrinkled face. "I believe we have an old map in the library of Kilnstone locations, that belonged to the late Lord. It would be over twenty years old, but it is most likely still accurate. I will have one of the servants bring it and a map of the fiefs."
"Good," she nodded. "And Garside?"
"Yes, my Lady?"
"What did I have on the calendar in the coming weeks?"
"There was nothing until the Light Fest in the capital, two weeks from now," he answered.
