At Desa's shout, movement immediately came from the courtyard.
Two fierce-looking, powerfully built men, each over two meters tall, carried a carriage inside.
That was right!

Who could say the task had not been completed?
Everything had been delivered!
But no one present paid any attention to the retainer's absurd declaration of "congratulating Miss Caesar
