Roland decided to personally invite Norton.
But he declined Sif's company.
Excessive respect doesn't evoke gratitude; it invites disdain.
This world is just that real.
Roland wasn't planning to replicate the "three visits to the thatched cottage" from the otherworld.
He wasn't an imperial uncle, and the other party wasn't a recluse.
He didn't have that much time, nor that much patience.
He was prepared to bring Norton and his daughter in one go.
Miss Shanina, although swayed by romance and fooled by a playboy, has a remarkably good professional level, at least seventy to eighty percent of Norton's standard.
Roland didn't care about his subordinates' private lives.
Who Miss Shanina wants to be with is her personal business.
As long as they can work and are willing to work, they are excellent employees.
A boss who meddles with everything probably has a screw loose.
The rural roads were hard to travel, so Roland didn't take a carriage but prepared two fast horses instead.
