Some days ago...
A group of people had arrived at a small village far away from Eryndor, with Minister Griswold among them. Information had reached them about a woman who might possess a very valuable asset, and that was exactly why they had come.
After asking around the village, they had been directed to the woman's home, and so they made their way there without delay.
The door was knocked on twice before a young woman opened it from the inside. Her gaze immediately fell upon the nobleman standing before her, impeccably dressed despite the journey, and then shifted to the other unfamiliar man accompanying him.
"Hello, Rebecca," Minister Griswold greeted first.
Rebecca frowned slightly. "I'm sorry, do I know you?" she asked, her eyes narrowing with both curiosity and caution as she studied him.
A faint smile appeared on Minister Griswold's lips.
