203 The Duke's Move

.

A few days have passed since Elrich had left the capital. Nothing may have changed on the surface of the capital, but the swift actions of two forces had resulted in different topics that were discussed around the commoner streets of Maynira.

"They sure act fast." Kazuya laughed when he heard about one of the few rumors that were circulated around the capital.

It turns out that the daughter of the Tisdale family, who was once the loyal guard of princess Alicia herself, had volunteered to join the hero's party. She had resigned from her position despite her father and the princess' pleas.

This was one of the most popular rumors as the public had not heard any news about the hero ever since his arrival. There wasn't a hero that didn't have their own tale of having an extremely difficult journey so to the people who didn't know about the truth, they admired Julia for her determination to join the hero's party.
