"Duke, we have to go, the entire Nuer is waiting for you." Grand Marshal Nuer Erstein said solemnly to Amelia.
Amelia reluctantly took a final look at Laine's territory. There, the green hills and clear waters were full of life, and in the vast fields, the peasants were harvesting winter wheat. The knights under Laine all came, standing in tidy rows, doffing their hats in salute to Amelia.
No one expected the Count's Head Maid to be the Empire's Prince-Elector, but once everyone learned of it, they gave Amelia the highest degree of respect. The knights admired those with persistence and responsibility, and Amelia had served Laine for more than eight years.
Now, Amelia had to return to the Empire, where her vassals and subjects awaited her, needing her, and Amelia had to fulfill her duty, being the last legitimate bloodline of the Prince-Elector family.
Surya came, Teresa came, Veronica came, even the rarely seen Dark Elf Ollica, and Lake God Witch Mogiana came.
