The next day, early morning.
In the study of Falcon Castle, Kane, who had not slept all night, was looking at the sunrise outside the window.
On his desk was a letter.
It was a letter prepared for the exchange with the Marquis of Manvila.
To write this letter, Kane spent the entire night.
The warm sunlight shone on Kane, relieving his tired body. After witnessing the sunrise, Kane turned around, picked up the letter on the desk, and carefully placed it in the envelope.
Then, holding a silver spoon, he dripped hot sealing wax on the envelope.
Next, he took out the family's heritage seal from the desk and pressed it on top.
In this way, a perfectly authentic Gerard family letter was completed.
After ensuring its correctness, Kane walked out of the room and summoned the steward Jess.
The steward, who looked just as sleep-deprived, seemed to have been busy for a long time last night.
"Jess, deliver this letter to the Marquis of Manvila. Make sure to hand it to the Marquis himself," Kane handed the letter to him.
Jess took it and said, "Yes, my lord."
"Remember to use a fast horse," Kane added as a final instruction.
"Understood, my lord."
In no time, a messenger riding a swift horse rushed out of the castle.
Under Kane's gaze, he crossed the Maco Village, passed the small river in the Rigette territory, and headed southwest, towards the Marquis of Manvila's domain.
Once he couldn't see the messenger anymore, Kane shifted his gaze away from the window.
Based on his estimate, it would take at least two days for the messenger to reach Manvila from Rigette, even with continuous fast riding.
So, the earliest Kane could receive news would be the day after tomorrow.
Kane sat down, picked up a kingdom newspaper he hadn't read in a while, intending to ease his inner anxiety by checking the latest happenings in the kingdom.
The Kingdom Times was established by a certain extraordinary mage who thoughtfully summarized recent events in the kingdom on a monthly basis on a white parchment.
Of course, to Kane's modern soul, it was just a newspaper.
"Shocking! The Silver Moon Army guarding the border is rushing back to the capital."
"Amazing! Baron Latys entered the Countess Ucha's mansion in the middle of the night."
"Puzzling? Why have many dukes been rushing to the capital in the past half-month?"
Although these headlines had a taste reminiscent of a certain website from his previous life, it did not diminish their accuracy and importance.
Indeed, in reality, many lords far from the capital would spend a lot of money each month to buy a copy of the Times to be delivered to their territories.
Because the Times had a powerful information network, it could gather various information, allowing people outside the capital to stay informed.
Kane looked at the newspaper, and aside from some gossip news, most of it reported the recent anomalies in the capital.
It was either the return of the legions or the arrival of the Grand Duke and the earls, giving people a sense that something big was about to happen.
Indeed, as Hoste said at the time, the kingdom was indeed going to war with the orcs.
As Kane was frowning and contemplating how to respond, the door of the study was knocked again.
"Come in," Kane said.
Steward Jess quickly walked in and closed the door behind him.
"Jess, what's the matter?" Kane asked, somewhat surprised. It was the second time someone knocked on the door of this rarely visited study today.
Handing the letter to Jess, Kane continued, "Deliver this letter to the Marquis of Manvila. Make sure it reaches the Marquis."
"Yes, my lord."
"Remember to use a fast horse," Kane reminded him.
"Understood, my lord."
In a short while, a messenger on a fast horse rushed out of the castle.
Under Kane's gaze, he crossed Maco Village, passed the small river in Rigette's territory, and headed southwest, towards the Marquis of Manvila's domain.
Once he couldn't see the messenger anymore, Kane moved his gaze away from the window.
According to his estimation, it would take at least two days for the messenger to reach Manvila from Rigette, even with continuous fast riding.
