Lord Knigthley's Plans

The hours they spent searching has turned to days, and soon days were turning to week. The search for Scott's hidden palace has been a drain for Elizabeth and Jo who ended up with nothing every time they receive hopeful news. Luckily, news of Jo traveling with Elizabeth and being her companion has not been known, or else they would have a hard time gathering information from the mercenaries and black markets.

"So, any luck?"

Elizabeth got up from the sofa where she was seated and welcome Jo who just arrived from visiting another mercenary guild. Jo only shook his head disappointedly stating he found no clue once again of Scott's mystery house.

"I see…" She spoke in a low disappointed tone.

"I'll go around check again if only we can gain access to the Western Org, I mean, they probably have information on…"

Jo did not finish what he wishes to say for he realizes he spoke without thinking.

"Must we?" Elizabeth sighs desperately.
