Chapter 71: The Tin Knight and The Land of Deep Green (1)
“Where are they? Where on earth have they gone!?”
“Find them! No matter what, find them!”
“Um, Count? Do you really not know where the Witch of the East’s apprentice and her party went? No, the cookies are fine. Well, surely there must have been travel inspections, so I don’t understand how you don’t know anything, ah, the tea is fine too. No, I’m really desperate, ah, don’t just laugh! Please!!”
While prominent figures of the Empire were making a fuss, looking for the whereabouts of Dorothea’s party.
There were two figures on the Kingdom’s side who were also reacting to their story.
One was Marquis William Heming, who was suffering between the king and nobles after being assigned the unwanted role of “mediator”, and the other was the acting lord of Friedel domain, Giselle von Lennart.
“Adelaide von Lennart appointed as the representative instructor of the Lennart dojo, Tik-Tok branch.”
When she received a messenger bird with such content through the connections she had left in her family home a few days ago, Giselle couldn’t help but doubt her eyes.
The Lennart dojos located throughout the continent were one of the primary means of maintaining the prestige of the Lion Duke’s bloodline, and the position of representative instructor of a dojo was an important post that only outstanding individuals within the bloodline could occupy.
The news that Adelaide had obtained a position with comparable prestige as the lord of Friedel was delivered.
Giselle had merely instructed Adelaide to go to the various dojos and collect their token, yet she had gone beyond expectation, suddenly devouring an entire dojo. This prompted her to frantically gather related information.
