I'm going back home and recounting everything I heard (to the walls) => waiting for the others to return...

The surprise for Linderia wasn't the news about their upcoming participation in the war, which the girl had actually expected, but the fact that Meido's drunken escapades and Waldemar's antics weren't the only transgressions of the "Golden Gryphon." She was hearing the story about the restaurant for the first time. And perhaps, if Linderia had known about it earlier, she would have left the organization before being sent to atone for the mistakes of the trio leading the squad. While many of her comrades were now angry at Lucretia and cursing her, the sorceress didn't feel any negative emotions towards the countess – she probably would have acted the same way in her place. Leaving aside the setup with Rogdan, all the complaints about the squad were more than justified. And that was just the tip of the iceberg – if Lucretia had delved deeper into the squad's affairs, she would have had enough compromising material to last a lifetime. Yes, compared to joining the "Golden Gryphon," that adventure with the potion seemed like an absolutely well-considered and rational decision to the Moenian – she should have fled that sinking ship at the first opportunity. The problem was that such an opportunity might not present itself again.
The list of squads to which the organization's members were assigned seemed quite curious to Linderia, especially the last one. There was no doubt that Waldemar and Almo were being sent to their deaths, as the main culprits behind the current state of the "Golden Gryphon." With one elegant move, Lucretia was not only getting rid of undesirable elements, unworthy of redemption, but also using their sacrifice for the benefit of the empire. As for the other two squads, the first was likely to join the main forces on the front lines, while the members of the second would be tasked with providing support to the empire's army in other areas. At least, these were the thoughts that came to the sorceress's mind as she pondered the composition of these groups.
