"All done?"
The guard asked Baron Conner, and the Baron nodded.
He did not know what happened to him, but the Baron suddenly felt like he had a purpose in his life. And it was to carry out the goddess's order to send Shuu to the temple and have the Emperor choose his daughter as his companion.
But to do that, he would need more help. Bending the hero's arm to get him to do what was needed would not be easy.
The first thing the Baron would need were allies. And thankfully, he knew where he needed to go to get some.
'Duke Inferno and the other nobles are utterly devoted to the goddess. I should go there and have a small talk with them.'

Dinner was tense that day. The absence of Lady Elysia was evident, and the only one who seemed unaware of what happened was Lady Canarie.

"Excuse me, but does anyone know where Lady Elysia is? I have not seen her for some time now…"
