Chapter Three: Preparing For a Journey

Secrecy was a key element of the prince’s visit to Syth Mill. It was imperative that the utmost caution was exercised as he left the royal capital. To do so successfully, Ein required the help of a certain someone.

A few mornings before his departure, the prince summoned Chairman Graff Agustos of the Agustos Trading Firm. Within one of the castle’s many rooms, the elderly man stood before Chancellor Warren.

“You wish for my cooperation?” Graff asked, frozen for a moment after he heard Warren’s words. He tilted his head to one side.

“Quite right,” Warren replied.

“Will you tell me your reasoning first? Why me?”

“Pardon me. You see, Sir Ein will be headed to a frontier city near Syth Mill.”

“Hmm...” That wasn’t enough for Graff to confirm the situation, but he didn’t shake his head either. “Krone and I are greatly indebted to His Highness, and by extension, the Ishtarican royal family. No matter the reason, I won’t refuse a request that asks for my assistance.”

“I’m grateful to hear that. Now then, there are a few issues I’d like to discuss with you.”

And so, Warren hatched a plan. Graff would leave Kingsland on official trading firm business. As he often left the capital to conduct business, this wouldn’t raise any eyebrows. Ein and his party would accompany the former grand duke on his “business trip” alongside some knights disguised as new “employees.” Naturally, Graff would need to wait for Ein’s return. Due to the severity of the request and the number of days required to finish it, Warren promised to heavily compensate Graff with a reward for his cooperation.

“No need,” the chairman replied. “I’ve been planning to visit that city anyway.”

“But...” Warren started.

“Chancellor, as I’ve stated, I’ve got a great debt to His Highness. Would you please allow me to save a shred of face?”

“But Sir Graff, you’d be disgracing His Highness.”

“Hmm, well that can’t do. Very well, if you insist on rewarding me... May I have Krone assist me with my work? She’d surely have some time to spare while in the city.”

Warren nodded. This was their compromise. Though Krone would be separated from her beloved, the crown prince would be at ease to know she was with her grandfather.

Ein stopped by Chris’s room to share what had been decided, however, he knew that he had to mention their visit to Syth Mill. Martha, the first maid and Dill’s mother, knocked on her door in Ein’s stead. However, no answer came.

“Maybe she’s not here,” Ein said, about to turn on his heels and leave. He could visit her at another time.

“I saw Dame Chris return from training a while ago,” Martha insisted. She knocked once more and waited for a short while.

“Come in!” Chris called, her voice faint as it echoed throughout the room.

“Maybe she was in the middle of working on something,” Ein said.

“But I’m sure she wouldn’t mind if you visited,” Martha reasoned. “Since we received her reply, why don’t you step inside and talk with her?”

“Hmm, all right.
