Marquis Youxi stood in the shadow, bewildered as he watched Brand and Frey leave the inner courtyard. "Who is that woman?" "She seems to be Her Highness the Princess's Guard Knight, my lord." "So Yan Castle intends to draw closer to the Royalist faction, or is this a hidden move of theirs?" Marquis frowned, convinced that Brand was truly the Earl of Yan Castle, and this unexpected move posed a small threat.
"It's just Yan Castle, not worth mentioning, Marquis." At this moment, a gruff voice came from behind. Marquis Youxi turned around and saw a bearded military officer, whom he recognized as Count Vitojin, who had not shown up at the meeting. He was the Black Blade Legion's commander, of military origin, and a staunch supporter of Duke Sifah.
