"Oh? So she believed the Duchy's olive branch and intends to use the Duchy's power to quell the rebellion in Castel?"
In the Tulip Count Domain, within the New Bold Fortress.
An elderly nobleman with graying hair, wearing the standing army uniform of the Bold Duchy, spoke in surprise.
The old nobleman was not particularly tall, but he exuded an intimidating presence as he sat there, a demeanor that only long-tenured nobility could cultivate.
And behind him stood another man who bore a resemblance to him, also clad in military attire.
However, unlike the elderly noble, he was dressed in the resplendent uniform of the Kingdom's Regular Army, replete with gorgeous enchanted armor that shimmered brilliantly.
"Yes, Lord Gaston, the rebellion in the Northern Land has thrown the young Countess of Castel into panic. She was as thrilled as a drowning person who has finally grasped a lifebuoy when she received your invitation."
