The Astrology Department’s predictions were true. This year, there was indeed more rainfall than usual.

On the 18th of July, a torrential downpour began over the capital.

The scouts were posing as peasants from the surrounding villages on the outskirts, and their entry into the city wouldn’t raise suspicion. When they recognized the leader of the group as Clifford, one of the scouts immediately carried a basket of fruit into the city.
