"Many thanks to you both, Uncle Valmy and Uncle Gladon, for your assistance. I'm deeply grateful!"
Opper Lawrence spoke with apparent gratitude, even going so far as to personally escort them from the castle.
"Avenging Baron Pape is what we ought to do!"
"Indeed, rest assured, we will definitely avenge Baron Pape."
"That damned Eagle Ridge Lord is practically forsaken by the Goddess of Life."
Baron Valmy and Baron Gladon spoke resolutely, as if they were genuinely committed to avenging Baron Pape.
"Thank you so much!"
Opper Lawrence replied as well.
After exchanging pleasantries, they parted ways.

Yet, without verification, they wouldn't be at ease.

A few days later.
