Chapter 234: Secret Meeting
With the more tenacious apprentices on the ancient wall and their attention towards the Duke’s Tower, that was about the only time the knights could meet without drawing their curiosity.
Sir Gunnar gazed at the backs of Irene and Leif, and he gave a small nod, silently convincing himself that this was the right decision.
Knowing the two were definitely distracted by their duties, he strode forward to meet Commander Lothian; his second in command, Sir Williamson; the Commander of the Royal Knights, Sir Antoine; Sir Sven; himself; and even Felix.
As he pushed through the flap of the tent’s opening, the others were already there, standing with grim expressions on their faces as they spoke with each other.
Rosalind had been bedridden for a month, but the moment she was physically well, the knights sought her help in mapping out the Duke’s Tower.
At first, they weren’t going to tell any of the Knights of Chemois about their plans to try and infiltrate the place and free those still prisoner to the monsters, but they thought it might be best to at least warn the highest ranked from the north so that they could prepare themselves to block the apprentices from going along.
Allowing the northerners in on the plans meant that they could further confirm a few more things about the tower that even Rosalind wasn’t privy to. After all, she hadn’t been there nearly as long as someone like Sir Gunnar or even Felix.
Commander Lothian handed the mapped out tower to Sir Gunnar.
"Is there anything else you would like to add?" he wondered. "I know we discussed it before, but if you remember anything else, perhaps anything secret, it would do us well."
