"Sir Kai, what did you say to Margrave Edward? Were you discussing the petition against me?" Riona's face brightened with hope.
He didn't answer right away. After a short deliberation, he decided to respond, "Yes, I found out about it some time ago."
"What was that Count doing with you?"
The embarrassing memory of mistaking that man for the Minister of Defense returned to Riona, but she quickly dismissed it before her face could turn red.
"Count Otto is one of the Generals. He is the only person taking this issue seriously. I discussed the petition with Sir Dusan, but his words were as cryptic as ever. It feels like I can never get through to him," he said.
Sir Kai exhaled loudly. It was interesting how some people could treat other people's business as if it were their personal concern. But thanks to Sir Kai's overbearing nature, Riona might be able to overcome this hurdle.
