Ivita wanted to confront the Hearthstone Grand Witch and find out what her apprentice had done that led to the death of Ambrose Grand Viscount.
Especially since she had been coaxing Ivita constantly to go to Ambros City to find her troublesome apprentice.

It was already dawn.
However, they brought back two disconcerting pieces of news.
The first was that the Sons of Forest had attacked three villages directly under the jurisdiction of the Barons near the castle, burning all crops in the fields and wooden houses in the villages.
