Episode 9, titled Sweet Honey and Bitter Armor, is expected to reveal the ‘important message’ from the Latparron Trading Company and its implications for Lawrence’s plans.
This message will likely introduce new challenges or opportunities for his business. Holo’s protective nature and their growing bond will be crucial in overcoming these hurdles. Additionally, we might see more of Nora the shepherd in this episode.
In Episode 8, titled Fellow Traveler and Foreboding News, the story begins with Nora, the shepherd, discussing her faith with Lawrence and Holo. Initially skeptical, Holo apologizes and asks Nora to pray for their safety.
Nora then proposes working for Lawrence, promising to keep wolves at bay with her sheepdog, Enek. Despite Holo’s initial reservations and desire to harm Nora, she agrees to hire her for two days after Lawrence convinces her.
As they journey to Ruvinheigen, Nora shares her life story, aspirations to become a tailor, and preference for guiding merchants over tending sheep due to financial reasons. Lawrence’s careless remark about wolves angers Holo, and Nora warns him to watch his words, as other wolves might be listening.
