The Knights of Chemois' work started early. Fortunately, they had good summer weather on their side.
When Henry and Felix left the guest rooms at the town reeve's house, only a maid was awake and preparing breakfast for the reeve's estate. She insisted they get breakfast before heading out for the manual labor they were going to participate in that day.
The knights went right to the inn where most of their men had started to wake up and go to the main level for breakfast of their own. The plan had been to meet at the front of the inn.
For the journey, Henry decided not to take his entire order of knights. Four knights were across Tenetium, traveling between villages in pairs. Six knights stayed at the Duke's Tower with all five of the apprentices. Irene led their practices each morning and business went on as usual. To keep the monsters of the area at a minimum, knights needed to continue patrolling the area.
