After dealing with all the remaining werewolves and cleaning up the scene, Jes jogged to Roland and Sif.
During his jog, he suddenly encountered a dilemma.
He knew the Count was the Empress, but Her Majesty the Empress probably preferred him not to "know."
If the Empress were the Count, he should report to Roland.
If the Count were the Empress, he should report to Sif.
What to do now?
In a flash of insight, Jes figured it out.
Since Her Majesty the Empress is now the Count, the Vice Governor, then she ranks below Roland.
The games she plays with Roland are not something a mere Light Cavalry Major like him should worry about.
Do your job, Jes!
He stood at attention, saluted Roland, reported the battle results loudly, and then began to reflect.
"Lord Governor, you were attacked nearby, and I arrived late for rescue. I ask for your punishment."
Roland greatly appreciated this attitude.
