Chapter 65 - Reunions (+Map)
“My Lady,” Garside’s voice called out from the other side of her office door. “We have received a notice from the Shields Guild branch.”
“Enter,” Scarlett said calmly as she flipped a page in the book she was reading on old legends and fairytales here in the empire. A few days had passed since she started experimenting more with her magic, and things had been relatively calm as of late. But judging from what she’d read in the latest issue of the Empyreal Chronicle, things were a lot more hectic in the other areas of the empire because of the attacks that had happened.
Garside opened the door and walked into the room. “It is from Miss Breeden,” the old butler said, holding up a piece of paper. “It appears she has returned to Freybrook. Miss Astrey and Mister Thornthon have expressed their desire to visit her, as it appears she will not stay for long.”
Scarlett looked up from her book. So Kat was fine? She’d started growing worried about the woman after not hearing from her after the attacks, so this was a welcome piece of news.
“Did they wish to leave at once?” she asked.
“It appears so, my Lady.”
Scarlett looked at the silver clock piece that sat on the left side of her desk. It was noon, and she hadn’t planned on clearing another dungeon today, so taking a trip into town would probably be fine.
She was getting a little nervous about what the Hallowed Cabal’s next move towards her would be, so she had been a bit more paranoid about leaving the mansion in general, but she hired Shielders for a reason.
“Inform them that we will leave in half an hour,” she said.
“You are accompanying them, my Lady?” Garside asked, his thick mustache moving slightly as he spoke.
Scarlett nodded her head. “That is correct. I am curious how Miss Breeden has fared, and I have a promise to uphold.”
She glanced at the [Bag of Juham] that lay on the other side of her desk. Although this was a bit earlier than expected, she could probably scrounge together something for now.
