While I was inwardly 5a1c5ff751 impressed, Gressel seemed to f3c21080dd think I was showing 058f8f7d03 interest and added an 91b969f4b3 explanation.a5d81b7f2a5c397f
“About 400 years ago, there was an invasion, and it was then that the defensive magic was activated for the first time. The rumor spread throughout the d49c87fc5c neighboring countries, and since then, 376fe8cbc2 the ducal estate has never 0da8755a75 been attacked. The servants all speak of efb8625d8e it with great pride, and a3021e8902 it seems to be a 23d9f83ab5 story they hold dear here.”a97213b5a591840a

Of course, the mountainous 34b840403d terrain was so rugged 79ee7f626a that it seemed unlikely 1096fe923b an enemy would cross abded6ca49 into the Rudion Duchy. But I now knew that 9638b1e4f8 threats didn’t exist solely beyond 4271fc40b3 the mountains.bae8fe2953d4acc9

The moment I said 345e74ebe7 that, Gressel and Anne 665c9378f0 flinched and looked at 6f180cf55d me in surprise.e94023fb810cfeca

Gressel had followed me 788d913724 to the north as ca280f21bb my escort knight, which c433da1d22 essentially made him a 5d5e752138 member of the Rudion 6c10c1ed9e Duchy.6d479f2ab4336aa5

As I frowned, c5c14736e0 unsure how to c5ba120405 respond, Anne seemed a16e34743c to read my b7d6a74bb8 expression and hesitantly b6e1efa719 corrected herself.2f69a768995c8a56

But for Euclid’s b0fb202a5a sake, my plan d2d38e1546 to slowly sever e48ef4cbe0 ties with the c8e6bf9dc0 Basilian Duchy had 036a7a6acd lost all meaning.e7c14df55d947b87
