"DUKE HAWTHORNE, were you surprised when we suddenly appeared?"
Jasper Hawthorne smiled at the Holy Knight who came to his room and served him tea.
Messy chestnut brown hair, round amber eyes, small face. Height on the smaller side, petite frame, androgynous-looking. Bram, the Holy Knight who was wearing an immaculate white uniform, was a young man in his early twenties. But his carefree personality made it seem like he was a teenager.
"We were surprised, Sir Bram," Jasper Hawthorne said politely, addressing the Holy Knight with his title and first name just like how it was done in the Holy Land. He came to Valmento as a representative of the empire, so he had to carry himself properly as a duke. "But we're grateful since you still welcomed us warmly albeit our sudden visit."
To be honest, he and Paige Avery were supposed to carry out the mission incognito.
But aside from Bram, the captain of the Holy Knights welcomed them personally.
