After the ceremony, Ulysses and Isaiah prepared to leave for the Blackwell territory. William also volunteered to join them as he refused to stay in the capital any longer or to return home. He reasoned out that it was his way of gaining experience.
Ulysses had no other choice but to bring him along. Linius, who had recently become a general, needed to remain in the capital to oversee and finalize the rehabilitation of the city while waiting for the king's order. Naturally Ezio was left and remained by Cygnus's side.
"When are we following the duke?" Nina asked once when she decided to visit the manor.
"We?" Cygnus asked followed by a loud laugh. "There is no we. You will stay here as my contact in the capital and you will inform me of anything that will be happening in this place from now on."
Cheers for this chapter! Enjoy!
