William Sikes… A land steward… Klein inwardly repeated the response he got before turning the topic of conversation towards the flag and the White Rose War.
After a short chat, he politely bade farewell and walked towards the other exhibits with Walter and Richardson. He continued his own tour of the exhibits, as though his encounter from before was completely trivial, a conversation that was purely coincidental.
When it was almost noon, Klein, who had returned to his high-end four-wheeled carriage, looked out at the passing bicycles when he suddenly said, "Walter, you seem to know Mr. William Sikes?"
Walter solemnly nodded and said, "I once knew him while I was working for Viscount Conrad's household.
"He served a member of the royal family, the former Earl of Lastings, Prince Edessak."
He didn't conceal anything, and he described William Sikes's background in detail.
