The carriage of Marquis Castel arrived at the INN where Rogen and the SF members stayed while waiting for the other n.o.bles.Marquis Castel was greeted by Rogen, who was just notified about the arrival of Castel.
Rogen," Welcome! Marquess Castel, we are quite surprised by your very early arrival here."
Marquis Castel, " My fief is just two days away from here with no stopping, so don"t be surprised at my early arrival here. "
Rogen, " We will not be leaving in two days I do hope you have a place to stay. You see, the INN is already full with my men, and looking with the company you brought with kinda adds to the problem of s.p.a.ce. "
Marquis Castel, " Do not worry the knights accompanying me will be returning, except for my personal bodyguard. Also, the slaves will also accompany me, I need them to do physical labor. I do hope that your ship has quarters for slaves. I don"t want to sleep with them in the same place. When traveling on the ship, you see they might have diseases that might be pa.s.sed to me. I have already been able to rent stables for them to sleep, so don"t worry about s.p.a.ce. But I want to ask you have you seen Lord Evan. "
Rogen was scratching his head because he wasn"t sure what Marquis Castel really wanted. He was even more confused because of the different topics, Marquis Castel spoke about. So Rogen spoke while scratching his head with a fake smile, even he was having a hard time processing what Marquis Castel wanted, so he just answered Marquis Castel"s.
Rogen, " If you"re looking for Lord Evan, you can find him in his office. If you want to know if we could take care of your slaves, yes. If you want to find a place to stay you could ask for Lord Evan when you find him."
Marquis and Rogen looked at each other awkward, after that.
Marquis Castel, " Well, I guess I will be taking my leave then. Thank you, again, for the help sir Rogen."
Marquis Castel went back to his carriage when the carriage"s door closed, Marquis Castel immediately slapped his head and spoke.
Marquis Castel, " Why didn"t I just asked him directly for what they wanted in exchange for the cure. Instead, I talked about something irrelevant about the cure. I guess I have to go all the way to the kingdom of Dariel to get my hands on that cure. My plan on getting my hands on that cure as soon as possible failed."
Rogen, " Why did he go to us instead of going straight to Lord Evan?"
Bonifacio, " Do I look like a person who can read the minds of people."
Rogen, "No!"
Bonifacio, " Then why are you asking me if I know. Rogen if you are going to ask me something, please make sure that I can answer it. Don"t ask me questions about supernatural things like reading someone"s mind."
The carriage left the INN and Rogen with the SF members went back to their daily routine in the town of Ernan.
*****
Lord Evan was reading various reports about the town of Ernan that was written on a paper that is made from the skin of animals, Lord Evan was very happy with the peaceful mood of the town even though there are people from another country.
As Lord Evan was reading the reports, one of his servants suddenly interrupted him by knocking on the door of his office.
*Knock...knock...*
"Who is it," Asked Lord Evan while continuing to work with the reports he was reading.
"It"s your butler Ricoeur, my lord, " replied to Lord Evan by the voice behind the door.
Lord Evan, " Oh!, come in."

The door opened and Ricoeur went inside Evan"s office, Ricoeur was ten years older than Evan, but if you look at them together they almost look like at the same age.
Ricoeur, " My lord we have an unexpected guest visiting us and he wants to see you immediately. "
Lord Evan, " Who is this unexpected guest of ours visiting us this early Ricoeur? "
Ricoeur, "It is Marquis Castel, he is waiting for you in the waiting room my lord."
Evan arranges the papers he was reading and hides it in his drawer, he then immediately stood up and spoke.
"Bring me to him Ricoeur."
Ricoeur, "As you wish my lord"
Ricoeur immediately turns around and walked to the direction of the waiting room. Lord Evan followed Ricoeur to the waiting room.
Time skip...
Marquis Castel was enjoying the tea served by one of Lord Evan"s maid. While sipping the tea on a well decorated and luxurious teacup, the door of the waiting room.
The butler Ricoeur enters the room and was immediately followed by Lord Evan.
Lord Evan saw the familiar figure of Marquis Castel enjoying the tea prepared by his servants, Lord Evan then greeted Marquis Castel.
"Long time no see Marquis Castel, you should"ve told me that you were going to visit, so I could prepare a warm welcome for you."
Marquis Castel, "Don"t worry about my visit, I"m actually here to ask for a favor, and I hope you could do it. "
Lord Evan, " Sure, why wouldn"t I help a close friend. "
Marquis Castel, " Well, I was hoping to stay here for a few days, until we depart from here and go to the kingdom of Dariel."
Lord Evan was surprised by what Marquis Castel said, about the Marquis going to the Kingdom of Dariel. Lord Evan was actually jealous of Marquis Castel as he heard stories about how great the Kingdom of Dariel. But he can"t do anything about it, he is also a supporter of this new alliance so he could also not say no to Marquis Castel as one of the delegates that will be sent to Dariel.
Lord Evan, " Why would I not allow someone that is helping this country to ensure the alliance with the Kingdom of Dariel. This is also quite surprising Marquis as I thought you were not a supporter of the first prince. "
Marquis Castel, "I am truly not a supporter of the prince, but I see this Kingdom of Dariel is very beneficial to us. This time I agree with the prince with this, but for his other plans I still don"t agree with them."
Lord Evan did not reply to Marquis Castel"s last words. Lord Evan just spoke, " I will tell my maids to prepare the guest room for you, while we are at it, why don"t you go and explore the town."
Marquis Castel, " That will be fine, as I am also going back to the INN where sir Rogen is staying. "
Lord Evan, " Oh! you already know sir Rogen, I"m actually very impressed with him in his career. He has already achieved many things especially for his age, I never thought that he was also skilled in designing buildings. He is a very talented young man, so he must have picked up your interest. I know you are the type of person who will not be interested in someone without any unique capabilities."
Marquis Castel, " Well, you are correct that is my personality, but I want to talk with Rogen for a different reason. I think I will take my leave now, I will be back in the evening, also the tea was delightful. "
Marquis Castel left Lord Evan"s mansion with his bodyguard. The carriage went back to the INN where Rogen was staying.
Time skip...
Rogen"s left eye was twitching while facing Marquis Castel, Rogen was clearly irritated at Marquis Castel.
Rogen, " What do you want Marquis Castel? Can you hurry it up I am still busy baking some cupcakes?"
Marquis Castel, " Ok, I will tell you directly what I want."
Rogen, " Good, now make it quick I still need to look for flour. The quality of the flours here is not good enough for my cupcakes. "
Marquis Castel, " I want the cure for the white death."
Rogen closed his eyes and thought for a bit before replying to Marquis Castel.
Rogen, " So you want the cure for the white death?"
Marquis Castel, " Yes! I am willing to give anything you want in exchange for that cure."
Rogen, " How long has been your daughter been in bed because of the white death."
Marquis Castel, " I think it is already a year since she got bedridden with the white death."
Rogen, " I will tell you this now, not for you to lose hope but just to tell you about the truth."
Marquis Castel, " What do you mean?"
Rogen, " If your daughter has been bedridden for a year, then the cure will not be enough to make her get well."
Marquis Castel was dumbfounded by what Rogen said to him. His eyes was showing mixed emotions after Rogen directly gave him a answer that he did not expect to hear.
