A note had been left in the communication box from the Welcome Trading Company. It stated that William, their trusted merchant partner, had returned to the royal capital after a prolonged absence. He had been deeply occupied preparing for the delivery of wedding gifts—a task that, evidently, was still ongoing.
When Wataru visited the trading company, it was William's wife, Sandy, who greeted him.
