Still the same man

Due to the incident that had happened during the royal banquet, Duke John de Lara ordered the security around Joanna to be tightened, despite the fact that she had her own bodyguard, who was none other than her husband, General Canillas von Rodega.

However, the order did not come from the Duke's initiation only but was also brought up by Canillas, who came to see him yesterday's morning when they discussed the arrangement of their journey back to Barasca.

Even at the moment, when they rested in Greymore, two Barasca knights were planted in shifts to guard before the door of Joanna's room. Nonetheless, personally for Joanna, even without the Barasca knights guarding for her, she was certain that she would be fine because she was with her sole companion in her room.

Glancing at her sole companion, Joanna found him lying on the bed with one arm placed on top of his closed eyes.
