'Perhaps at another time, I wouldn't even be allowed to leave the Inanis mansion, but now that the trust Count Inanis has in me has grown enough to let me leave unattended, even with the Countess's worry and concern about me.'
"Asher, you have returned at last." Count Inanis greeted him with a nod. "I did not expect you'd leave to deal with the man as the underground dungeon is already sufficient enough, but I am glad that you've returned safe. For the next following days, the city will be in high alert. The presence of Bordeaux has been disconcerting and we shall have all the guards patrol the area."
