To Lorgar’s surprise, the chief did not receive her in his study.
Lorgar followed Wendy into the castle parlor and noticed that other than Roland Wimbledon, there was also another woman she did not know in the room.
She surveyed the woman with curiosity and noticed the latter was also studying her attentively. Lorgar did not like the way in which the woman stared at her. It was such a piercing stare that she had an impression the woman could see through all of her thoughts.
“There you are,” Roland said, as laid back as he always was. “I need you to complete a new task. Please take a seat.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Lorgar replied. After living in Neverwinter for half a year, Lorgar learned that the chief did not take the etiquettes very seriously. She went straight up to the lady and sat down in front of her, tail high in the air. Then she said, “However, I want to tell you something about the Southernmost Region first.”
“Oh, that sounds interesting,” said Roland as he raised his brows. “Go ahead.”
Lorgar related the news she had learned from her father and said, “I don’t think the clans in Iron Sand City would pose any threats to Port of Clearwater, but it would be a good idea to keep our eyes peeled. It takes time and effort to develop a virgin land but only a second to destroy it. We need to stay alert, especially considering that the main force of the First Army isn’t stationed there anymore. They are all back to Neverwinter.”
“I see,” said Roland thoughtfully as he stroked his chin. “In fact, the General Staff has foreseen this kind of situation when they proposed to relocate the clansmen. It has been almost a year now. I believe they’re well prepared.”
Lorgar asked thoughtfully, “You are referring to…”
“That’s right,” Roland said, flashing back a smile. “As the First Army has to get prepared for the Battle of Divine Will, we can’t rely on them to take care of everything in the kingdom. It’d be better to let the locals solve the problem in the Southernmost Region themselves.” Roland paused for a few seconds and then said, “But I appreciate your father’s heads-up. If he could interfere with the matter, that would be very helpful.”
“Perhaps I can write to my father.” The wolf girl blurted out. She soon realized she had already taken the side of Neverwinter… or rather, the chief’s side before she even noticed it.
“It’s politics. Leave it to me.” Roland waved away Lorgar’s request. “Plus, I asked you to come here not to discuss those serious political matters. Let me present May to you. You are probably more familiar with her other name: the Star of the Western Region.”
“Star Flower… Troupe?” Lorgar was a bit surprised. She took little interest in plays. In fact, she had not known the name of the troupe until Echo had told her. Lorgar knew nothing about the troupe except that there were two famous actresses admired by everyone in Neverwinter.
