After finalizing the discussion with Count Stafford, the meeting that would determine the future of the Falling Star Kingdom came to an end.
Both parties were very pleased, especially Count Stafford, who came in haste and with worry but now seemed as if a weight had been lifted and clouds had given way to sunshine.
Lord Charlotte personally saw Count Stafford out of the Count Mansion, and before leaving the mansion, Count Stafford hesitated and then turned back, speaking in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, we must act quickly on our trip to Falling Star, and we must remain concealed after landing. Therefore... we might need you to bring as few followers as possible, what do you think..."
Charlotte nodded,
"I understand, don't worry, I won't bring too many followers."
Count Stafford then sighed with relief,
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. Then... tomorrow morning, I will come to the Count Mansion to escort you again."
