At night, Johann sits alone inside his room in the darkness.
The funeral for his beloved grandson was completed smoothly. No problem arose and Adam was safely laid to rest in the cold earth of the commoner's graveyard.
Even so, the weight of grief and regret remained in his heart.
As he gazed into the darkness, Johann's thoughts drifted back to the purpose that had led him to the capital city of Thyrate.
He hopes to find a breakthrough in Klover's political struggle by seeking support from nobles in the capital for the sake of his grandson.
Though he knew the success rate was low, he was willing to give it a try.
Armed with his vast experience in the political arena and the lingering influence he held in the capital, many nobles were willing to meet him.
While in the capital, he moved from one grand estate to another and met many influential people. Although it was embarrassing for someone like him to do this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
