Seven days.
Seven days.
The officials from various regions of Shalin waited in Black Water City for seven days, almost like being under house arrest, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new lord, Richard.
During these seven days, they had no idea what Richard was investigating across Shalin, or if he had even started investigating before this — after all, when the carriage from Shaya came to a swerving stop, a quirky Bi Bi stepped out instead of Richard. Almost no one knew when Richard had left the carriage, leaving Bi Bi to drive alone; perhaps they had separated right after departing Shaya.
Regardless, the day of declaration finally arrived. Seven days later, Richard officially came to Black Water City, summoning all the officials for a meeting.
