Two caravans departed from Hansa City, heading in different directions.
One of them escorted Angelina and the valuable books back to their homeland.
In response to Sofia's congratulatory gift, Roland was uncharacteristically generous.
The books Angelina specifically requested, he handed over; those she didn't name, he gave as well.
He also solemnly stated that this was a gift for all Rurik People, and no one should keep them for personal use.
Angelina was naturally overjoyed and agreed quickly.
She thought these were gifts to the Imperial Family, not realizing they could be spread more broadly.
She was unaware that Roland was an Inheritor, and that spreading knowledge allowed him to grow. The wider the spread, the faster Roland's growth.
She instinctively believed that Roland intended to use this method to ease relations between the two countries and leave a path open.
This reasoning was quite logical.
After all, no one believed Roland and Sif could defeat Sofia.
