While the baron and his old friend was about to be done conversing, a knocking sound caught their attention. "Who is it?" the baron questioned as he wasn't expecting any other guest or someone to make a report to him while he was in his office. Only old man Retten would come to report to him even when he is inside his office.
"My Lord, I am here to make a report about the duke and his men. A few riders had set out from the castle and headed towards the direction of the capital." The man reported.
"Tend to the guest and see that we are a good host to them." The duke commanded then the sound of footsteps turning away echoed through the halls before slowly fading away.
