The hunter's daughter, Stella, had her very existence denied by the chief.
It meant they wouldn't take her back even if she returned, but Stella seemed happier now, having been allowed to be with Ralph. To the temporary administrator, I just left a brief message saying I was returning to the capital.
Returning to the capital after such a long time, it was as solid and bustling as ever. Compared to the relatively peaceful Feuzen and surrounding territories, Breisburg, as Beren's largest consumer city, was a place where one could easily get swept up in its excessive vibrancy.
Ralph and Stella, visiting Breisburg for the first time, were wide-eyed with wonder. Naturally, we'd be staying at Rosengarden. Göring, who had been managing the mansion during my time in Feuzen, came out to greet us.
"Welcome, my lord."
"Thank you for managing the place well in the master's absence."
"So can I wash my hands of it now?"
"We'll be staying for a few days, so not yet."
