Paul nodded and shook his head. Although he didn't look like he was doing anything, he was actually observing Henderson's condition.

"The one in charge of this fortress is the second son of Earl Lawrence, Hagen Lawrence." Henderson replied, but his smile seemed to be superficial. "Let me guide you to his mansion to discuss about the current situation."

"Understood. I appreciate it." Paul agreed and Henderson immediately asked someone to stand in for him as he had to bring the important guest.
