When the two of us entered, there were only five people inside the tent. Other than Markus and the Duke himself, there were also Viscountess Sara, Lady Hina, and Captain Garo.
It was somewhat odd to see Duke without his old butler, but I could understand that he might be busy somewhere in these difficult times.
Everyone inside turned towards me when they noticed me enter. It looked like they had been waiting for us the whole time.
"Good afternoon, everyone."
Normally, it would have been a good idea to greet everyone individually, but wasting more time wasn't wise since I was already late.
This tent was more spacious than the other tents. There was enough space for everyone inside to walk around. Duke was seated at what appeared to be a desk, while the rest of us were just standing.
There were some papers on Duke's desk, probably the report Markus and Garo brought with them.
