Keiji smiled gratefully when the guards sent for the Daimyo without kicking up too much of a fuss. Some guards could be a lot more troublesome than the pair at the gate were. Keiji waited patiently with the first two guards until the third returned, then he followed the third through the estate grounds to where Daimyo Harukaze was waiting to receive him.

"Brave Sellsword" the Daimyo said with a bow "I thank you for responding to my posting of distress with great haste".
"And I thank you for taking the time to speak with me, Harukaze-Sama" Keiji said as he returned the bow.
"You have questions" the Daimyo continued "That is why you are here, is it not?".
"That is indeed why I'm here" Keiji said "First and foremost, I'd like to ask if you have any clues or leads that would aid in the search for your daughter".
