Once the meeting was finished, all the vassals immediately went back to their respective territories. They have to immediately go back to their own territories, especially at a time when there are a lot of bandits lurking around somewhere in the territory.
They have to be on high alert and ready to defend their lands. They also need to prepare for the coming annual inspection, despite all this uncertainty and potential danger.
The vassals understand the importance of maintaining a strong defense, as any lapse in security could result in devastating consequences for their territories.
Additionally, the upcoming annual inspection adds an extra layer of pressure, requiring them to ensure that everything is in order and presentable despite the challenging circumstances.
While the vassals are already leaving the Lockhart manor, Ophelia was left inside the meeting room, still sitting on the chair with her back leaning back to the plush cushion.
