An unexpected person was waiting for me, but I was actually glad.
We had met and exchanged greetings at my investiture ceremony, but since I had to greet so many people, there hadn't been enough time to build a friendship. All I knew about him was that he was Steinhof's grandson and that he had married one of Hilda's friends. Elisabeth, was it?
It turned out that the young lady was the daughter of Viscount Gustav von Loewenbert, the Capital Sentinel Commander who had surrounded Mainhof's mansion while I was fighting Klugen. The Capital Sentinel Commander was also an important Military Department position and subordinate to my father-in-law. Thanks to that, the relationship between the Military Department and the Steinhof family was good.
"Sir Streit, Fiel is one of the few close confidants my age. Including you, I'll have at least four promising young knights under my command."
