Chapter 50.5In short, it was a natural part of social interaction and diplomacy, but they wouldn’t actually visit for the pre-ceremony celebration.
“What you’re hiding then, I’ll put aside for now. Did you hear back from them?”
“Additional letters arrived from there before we could respond. They said they wouldn’t wait for a reply from the country and leave to congratulate us as soon as possible.”
“… Which means they took a hard line before we said no.”
She didn’t know how to describe it, but she has a bad feeling about this.

From there, I calculated the speed of the carriage, the time of rest, and the lodging in the towns along the way. After calculating things like lodging in towns along the way, I figured it would be this time of day.”
The merchant at the stall said that the merchandise they were trading today arrived in Siutena a week ago on a ship.

And there was only one person in the Koyor Kingdom whose name was listed as an attendee at the wedding ceremony.
“Wertsner, I want to protect my country”
The voice of a young man flashed back to her mind.
“I will spare nothing to achieve this… That’s probably the greatest duty I’ve ever had, having escaped death.”
