This wasn't the first time Shard expressed his stubbornness, and though it was regrettable, the Witch wasn't disappointed.
"I'm fine here, just an ordinary person after all. Did you finish the matter at Yordle Palace? I heard from the newspaper that there was an important meeting this afternoon, wasn't there?"
"No meeting is as important as you."
Miss Galina assessed Shard:
"It seems like you don't have any other plans today, so in that case, let me comfort you. Accompany me to a banquet tonight. I originally wasn't planning to go, but I remember we rarely dance together."
The evening banquet was held at Velarde Manor in the city, ostensibly to welcome Earl Dewey of Carsonrick, a relative of Earl Velarde, to Tobesk. However, this Earl Dewey was actually leading the second delegation from Carsonrick, much like the tiresome Earl Lewis who led the first delegation.
