Rukelion was anxious the next several days. He needed to speak to Harland but finding the chance to do so was difficult considering how swarmed he was as the winner of the tournament.
He wasn't able to do it directly but did hear what he needed to from Conrad when he and Elaine invited them over for dinner one night. She had been spending a lot of time with Daisy since the wedding and wanted to show that her cooking skills could be put to good use.
While the women sat around discussing recipes, he looked expectantly at his friend, who immediately knew what he wanted. "Harland's background check went through. He reports to the palace in two days to begin his training. It'll be strange not having him around since he's been a part of the squad longer than I have."
"I bet," Rukelion said casually. "Did he say how long he'll be in training?"
"He was told two weeks," Conrad replied with a shrug.
