The next morning, as Bella helped him dress, Ronin put on a simple set of training clothes.
In contrast to her nervousness the day before, Bella was much more composed today, and her movements were far more practiced. 'Give her a little more time,' Ronin thought, 'and she'll become a competent personal maid.'
Ronin walked out of the dressing room. "Gallon, go tell Macken to get ready. They'll be accompanying me to continue the inspection of the domain. Today, we're heading west to survey the edge of the Wushan Demon Beast Mountain Range."
"Yes, my Lord! I'll go tell them right away!" Gallon eagerly trotted away.
As soon as Ronin stepped out of the main building, he saw Chahar the steward and Wilson the Civil Servant waiting by the entrance. Between them stood a large vat.
When they saw the Lord emerge, the two men came forward and offered their morning greetings.
"My Lord, I've prepared the large vat you requested last night."
