Lady Ropenny Gran doesn't have many people she can trust, the butler in front of her seems to be one of them.
"I am honored to serve my mistress."
The butler of Gran Castle bowed deeply in front of Gawain, courteous, respectful, yet dignified.
"Then serve your mistress once more," Gawain nodded slightly to the butler, "You need to go to Rocky Ridges Fortress..."
The butler maintained his bowed posture: "What do you want me to do?"
"Deliver a message, saying that Cecil's army has already occupied Gran Territory..." Gawain said, then changed his tone halfway through, "By the way, how good is your acting?"
The butler raised his head and calmly said, "Eleven years ago, when those bandits broke into the castle, I was there. I hid the burned young master in a pile of wood and then leaned against the pile pretending to be a corpse — acted as a corpse under those bandits' noses for an entire day and night."
