At the end of August, Russell was promoted to a 2nd turn High-ranking Mythical Beast Knight with little fanfare.
In early September, Roland received a letter from Populus Gobi sent by Gwyn Baimaigen.
"Unfolding the letter..."
After reading the content of the letter, Roland felt a complex mix of emotions. The contents were as expected: Gwyn informed him that Drella had visited Fort Poplar and that her father, Baron Gevedas, had agreed to the arranged marriage.
Gwyn insisted on disagreeing but couldn't influence Baron Gevedas's attitude, and now she could only delay the wedding date.
"If you truly love me, Roland, please come to Fort Poplar and fight for me with my father. I don't want to have regrets in my life. I like the witty and humorous you, not some Flying Dragon Knight. To me, being a Flying Dragon Knight is not important..."
At the end of the letter, Gwyn boldly declared her love.
