Meanwhile.
Habsburg Manor.
Inside a study on the second floor of the castle, Dennis was reading the revenues and expenditures of the family estate. However, after only a few glances, he furrowed his brows, seemingly unable to continue his interest.
"Knock, knock, knock"
At that moment, a rhythmic knocking sound arose.
This slightly pleased Dennis, as it seemed Rulse must have completed his task and returned.
He thought about the time, which should be about right.
Because today was the final deadline set by Michel.
"Come in!"
"Eh! Why is it you?"
But to Dennis's surprise, it was not Rulse who entered but Tina.
Knowing Tina, she never appeared before him unless called.
"Den....Master Dennis, Lord Rulse told me if he didn't make it back by sunrise today, to let you know the task failed."
Tina was clearly frightened of Dennis, not daring to lift her head as she spoke with her gaze lowered.
"What? Say that again!"
