Just as the two of them were talking about many things, the door of the Baron's residence opened. Viviene stepped inside, her eyes focused on Gideon.
She bowed her head, giving respect to Earl Ashfield and Baron Gideon. She also apologized for disturbing them.
"Forgive me for the interruption, my Lord."
"Hector has arrived in Rockvalley. He intends to meet with you," Viviene said.
Hector? What is he here for?
"How should we respond?"
Gideon fell silent for a moment, studying Ashfield carefully. He nodded in agreement, not minding if Hector came in to speak with him.
"Bring him in," ordered Gideon.
Viviene cleared her throat. She stepped out to invite Hector in as Gideon commanded. Norton asked about Hector, and Gideon explained to him.
In short, Hector was a wealthy businessman who owned a textile factory in Dergon. He had become the richest man there, though his carelessness had polluted the river.
