But still, even though Acker had answered his question, something didn't make sense. How had Acker known to head toward the Frontier? Why hadn't he headed back to find the Wargrave Estate? Surely, that would have been the right choice. Asher didn't think for long before deciding to ask.
"Why didn't you go to the Wargrave Estate, but instead started making your way toward the Frontier?" he asked.
Acker answered innocently yet again. "That was because when I arrived in the Zarethorne Empire, I fell directly onto the carriage of a group of soldiers who were heading to the nearest Noble Territory from the Frontier to buy supplies," he began. "Thankfully, they recognized me from the Inter-Empire Tournament, and when I asked for the nearest Wargrave, they pointed me in this direction. They told me that a Great Elder of the Wargraves owns this place. So, I figured that since this place was the closest, it was the best option," he stated with a smile on his face.
