"I've been informed of the events in Blackmoon Region and received a request from Marquis Delarosa to protect her daughters and assist them if they are found in my territory," Helia Ashenborn casually said while pouring herself a glass of red wine.
"Mother did?" Linetta and Lillias revealed their surprises as their eyes widened.
Their mother was very sick and bedridden. Unless someone informed her, their mother shouldn't have even known they had left home.
'It must be one of Mother's people,' they thought.
"Well, not from Marquis Delarosa herself, but one of her close retainers. Although I don't know why you both left your home without any protectors, I will ensure your safety as long as you are within my territory," Helia Ashenborn promised.
"I appreciate your goodwill, Lord Helia," Linetta shook her head and said, "However, we won't be staying for long. In fact, we plan to leave right after resupplying necessities for the journey."
