Having taken the necessary equipment for cleaning, the girl went to the door of the knowledge room. Approached the door, the girl heard a voice of the owner of the house from alibrary. There was no point to go in while he was there. The elf girl stood quietly near the door and waited.
"Is that really true?" A quiet voice outside the door.
"It cannot be a false, the letter came from Pickgard. It is unlikely that the Imperial legion would send such letters without the approval of the Imperial Council," it was a female voice as quiet as the first. Counselor of the City Mayor.
"It means war…"
"It's a dark time, sir." You need to protect your family.
"I understand, but I cannot quit the city. Send my wife and children to the South Shores, I will stay here and lead a recruitment of volunteers."
"I got it. I'll do it. Do I prepare an announcement?"
"No. I’ll do this myself. Take care of my family."
Light steps approached the door. A woman in a rain cape came out of the library and looked at the elf.
"Did you hear everything?"
"I didn’t listen, lady."
"That's good."
She turned and walked away. Something terrible was happening, the girl hadn’t seen such a hard look of the Counselor. War? Attacked the Empire? But who? And why? So many questions, and there is no one to ask about them and even talk about it, until they hang the announcement.
Following the adviser came the Governor of Pyrst, the owner of the house and aristocrat - James, nicknamed Calm.
"If possible, leave this town, young lady."
"But where shall I go, sir?"
"At least stock up with medications, supplies may end. Most likely they will be redirected to the soldiers."
A lump formed in Siala's throat. Deliveries of medicines... Where can I get so much money for so many medicines? And how long will there be no supplies? These questions began to interest her much more than the issues of a distant unknown war.
The owner slowly walked along the corridor toward the bedrooms. And the girl, taking a broom and rags, went into the library. War is war, and no one has canceled work. And after a day of work she will ask the landlord for a loan for medicines, he won’t refuse. She has been working in this house for 8 years.
