The Heavy Cavalryman dared not answer Henry's request and could only return to seek his lady's opinion.
Soon, the Heavy Cavalryman returned to inform Henry that the Countess was willing to see him, but Henry would have to go to her.
This was an offer he truly couldn't refuse. For a male Knight to decline an invitation from a Countess would be a breach of noble decorum.
"Henry, do you need us to come with you?"
Henry shook his head, declining Boman and Fass's offer to accompany him.
Led by the Heavy Cavalryman, Henry saw Countess Ratifa's retinue.
'Rich.' That was Henry's first impression.
Ratifa's carriage looked like a mobile palace, magnificent beyond compare.
The body of the carriage was draped in golden silk, glinting ostentatiously. The windows were inlaid with colorful stained-glass patterns, so dazzling they nearly blinded Henry.
