While I was inwardly b3895719f0 impressed, Gressel seemed to 5c480f69f0 think I was showing 85a287d438 interest and added an 3232eba286 explanation.2938695ccc6814f4

“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 08df87b3e0 the neighboring countries, and ba44aa51e3 since then, the ducal c98af85d20 estate has never been 9d7291e0b2 attacked. The servants all speak of 72d711bf78 it with great pride, and 22d7499b7d it seems to be a 20ebf155c5 story they hold dear here.”c481957cc1086d77

A rumor from 400 e85c89997b years ago might still 62e3c393f2 fill the northern people 92d36cf007 with pride, but it b82d5332f3 was surely forgotten by 4d9ff50baf others.991e57d9ec8471ee

Of course, the d87ef940f0 mountainous terrain was b1c8d096ad so rugged that 5afb5c994c it seemed unlikely 575ba61f17 an enemy would 06ed068843 cross into the 0fc5382373 Rudion Duchy. But I now 984e71686b knew that threats b38d132860 didn’t exist solely aa41e5c6ef beyond the mountains.9bcfa2d8046d2f73

Gressel had followed me 0eb3c89c34 to the north as b5bf32b57d my escort knight, which 1c9160c281 essentially made him a ed510fb53e member of the Rudion d17530704c Duchy.ac61ce03d921c50b

Besides, there was 21ebc37e82 no reason to 5d3fdde1a9 refuse a knight 780df16fbd entering the currently fcf7bd29e3 leaderless knight order.3bceb164fce8a732

“Then I’ll contact “Black” right away tomorrow! Honestly, everyone was 211a7baed3 shocked when you 50b90798ae suddenly married. They’re also very a2759cc6e6 curious about the 13fedc39e8 Duke of Rudion.”09b67a3567fcb677
