Chapter 177: (Self Edited) Propaganda Leaflet
Riding on White Sunset, I descended to the main residence of the Hou Household in Karakumo, where a man, the designated birdcage attendant, hurried over.
“Your Excellency Rook! You are safe after all!” (Yorun)
The man was a commoner named Yorun, a face I recognized. Or rather, during a period of my childhood, we had worked together on a ranch.
After the previous birdcage attendant from the Gouku era retired due to old age, Rook brought him in. Although he couldn’t ride an Eagle, Yorun, who got along best with Rook during their ranch days, was excellent at ground care and trustworthy.
“Yuri-sama.” (Yorun)
Seeing me on a Eagle, Yorun bowed deeply. As the name suggests, White Sunset had a slightly whiter appearance compared to other Eagles, making it somewhat distinctive. Judging from my descent, he must have thought I was Rook.
I removed the restraints and dismounted from the Eagle.
“As rumored, His Excellency Rook…” (Yorun)
“Father was poisoned and passed away.” (Yuri)
