After merely a few seconds the guard returned, "Sir James is in a meeting right now. Please wait in the tavern inside and order anything you want, it's on his tab."
Mary and Roy sat in front of the counter and ordered some light drinks, the last thing Mary would want is to get drunk in such a place. She must first confirm that James is behind this all and not just someone else with the same name.
Mary is well known in the whole city and area, it was extremely unlikely that anyone here would dare harm her, for if she got killed or kidnapped then it wouldn't take the Asrin and the general long before they started flipping the city on its head looking for her.
