sis in front of him.

The voices of the two men preparing for the upcoming battle gradually faded away.

A pair of eyes were looking at the two from afar… No, there were four.

It was Nadia and Fabian.

They were already disappearing from where she stood, so it was hard to say that she was looking at them from a distance, technically.

Nadia, who was staring in the direction where Glenn disappeared, soon opened her mouth.

“What’s the name of the person who was next to him?”

“Sir Giscard Bernstein.”

“Oh, the Knight Commander?”

“Yes, that’s right.
Have you ever talked to the Commander?”

“I saw him at the wedding.
We didn’t have any occasion to meet each other than that.”

Giscard was the one who said with the look on his face that he didn’t like this marriage.

Nadia laughed as she recalled the memories of her first arrival at Winterfell estate.

Fabian added hastily, as if guessing how the Commander behaved at the wedding reception.

“He has a blunt impression, but he is not a bad person.
If he is being rude to you, it’s…… Please forgive him for loving Winterfell so much.
I apologize on behalf of him.”

“Sir Fabian, what’s there to apologize for?”

Unlike many administrators she faced in the past few months, Giscard, the Commander of the Knights, rarely encountered Nadia.

Therefore, no matter how much he heard that Balazit’s daughter had written off her debt, he had no choice but to doubt her intentions.

‘I hear he is about the same age as the previous Marquis.… His age is probably why he is very calm.’

For Giscard, he had black hair and a sturdy physique–gray hairs were rarely found.

However, unlike his youthful appearance, it did not change that he was a senior knight who had kept Winterfell’s territory safe for decades.

Which meant…

‘He’s an old man who is hard to conquer.’

If Winterfell won the territorial war and acquired an iron mine, Nadia could proceed with the plan that she had in mind.

It would be even better if she could get the cooperation of the Knight Commander in the process.

But in order to put the plan into action, they had to win the battle.

Iron mines and Lord Giscard’s cooperation were the next issues.

“Sir Fabian, let’s go back to my office for now.
I’d like to hear what you were saying earlier.”

“About the territorial battle?”

“Yes, we need to know exactly what situation we’re in so that we can come up with the next plan.”
