It was lunchtime when I exited Duke Demetrius's council chamber. The meeting had been quite long, covering a variety of topics, and Demetrius was careful to ask for my opinion on almost all of them.
I was quite surprised when he eventually told me I was free to go. I was genuinely afraid he was going to make me solve his marital issues, for Christ's sake.
Anyway, I was finally free for a bit. And I knew exactly how I would spend this newly gained time. One of my main reasons for coming here, to the Duchy of Caelmont, was to find a mystical item. And based on the novel I'd read in my previous life, I had a fair idea of where it was.
I still had a skill acquisition item I hadn't used, and I was actually considering it for Willabelle, as it belonged to her anyway, but now I wasn't sure if I should give it to her.
In the original novel, Willabelle was the one who used the scroll from the three skill acquisition items after they successfully escaped the first dungeon I had visited.
