Chapter 39

Clearing Up Misconceptions Left & Right

Ten minutes passed, and… nothing. Besides a few drone-like machines checking them out, no movement had been made from the Fort to welcome their arrival. Reika was getting partly worried and partly confused at the lack of a response.

She was absolutely certain they had been spotted. Didn’t they know who they were or where they were from? They had to know, right? Had they just caught them at a bad time? During an important meeting, perhaps? Or was something else going on that required their immediate attention, such as an emergency?

Finally, after another ten minutes, they saw a man approach. He was running across the plains rather slowly, and upon using Identify, she saw he was only level 71. Reika’s frown intensified as the man made it to their vessel, and with her permission, they lowered a platform for him to get onto the barge.

The man who came up was middle-aged and looked quite uncomfortable with everything that was going on. Reika looked at him, and he correctly identified her as the one in charge.

"Miss, may I know your purpose for visiting the Fort?" the man asked, plainly nervous but still speaking clearly.

Reika now truly frowned as she answered, "Is this not Haven? The City Lord should be aware of visitors from the Noboru Clan."

The official suddenly opened his eyes wide in recognition. "Ah! Right, I do remember that being mentioned in the briefing a few weeks ago. Sorry I didn’t recognize it. I must apologize; we are currently a bit short-staffed due to the absence of the City Leader and her assistant."

"Absence? Did something happen? Where are they?" Reika asked, concerned they truly had come at an inopportune time.

"I cannot disclose that, but they should be back within a few days at the latest. But for now, how about coming to the Fort and relaxing until someone is ready to receive you? I am only in charge of agriculture in the northern plains, so I believe it best to wait for someone more qualified."

Reika nodded and asked, "Will it be possible to visit the dome? Is the Lord in there?"

"Uh, I think he is, but you need permission from him to enter. I also wouldn’t go with too many people, though. He doesn’t tend to like large crowds or interruptions in general while working. Not the most social type, but damn, is he good at what he does.” The man’s casual tone suggested he’d begun to let his guard down.

Reika frowned slightly but didn’t voice her displeasure at the clear disrespect and underhanded insults towards Lord Thayne. This was not her city and not her rules, so she shouldn’t overstep… though she would mention it to Jake once they met.

She would naturally also respect that Jake didn’t like large groups of visitors, which she understood from their brief interactions earlier. He preferred smaller groups, and that was perfectly fine. At least the official did give respect to Lord Thayne’s abilities.

Being led by the man, they quickly flew their barge closer before anchoring it and entering the Fort.
