After parting with Swen, who had said he would join her soon, Airen arrived at Racline Castle, located at the easternmost part of the territory. Fortuitously, she encountered Parfale, who was about to leave the castle.

"General Airen?"

"It's been a while, Advisor. Are you on a mission?"

"I was just about to head back... But what brings you here, General?"

Parfale asked, and Airen responded with a slight bow.

"By the lord’s command, I have been assigned here. I will be carrying out my duties at Racline Castle from now on."

"Is that so…?"

Parfale tilted her head, deep in thought. Lyn had assigned Airen to the eastern border? Placing someone at the border usually meant that in Brans Army, that general was trusted and considered competent for important positions. Indeed, the generals stationed at the borders were often far more capable than those stationed at non-border castles.@@novelbin@@

However, Lyn had a deep dislike for Airen. So much so that despite numerous advisories, she had never really considered using her earnestly. Parfale herself had often advised but felt halfway resigned about it. And now, Lyn had placed Airen in what was currently the most critical frontline in the eastern sector? Parfale had been stationed in the east, so she hadn’t had the chance to advise Lyn separately.

"What in the world…?"

Was it the advisor’s intuition? Pondering over something unexpected, Airen greeted her lightly.

"I'll take my leave first, Advisor."

"Ah… Understood."
