Chapter 81: V4C24

A nobleman's mansion in the royal city of Galuentor.

A gloomy room.

The owner of the mansion was receiving a report from his subordinate with his eyes wide open.

" It failed, ......?"

“Yes. The commander, Gizarte, and the rest of the group were wiped out.”

The subordinate reported in an unconcerned voice.

"He was said to be a good fighter, wasn't he? That is why I sent him all the way to the northern frontier. Was that a lie?"

“I heard that he was a good swordsman, but not a good fighter.”

“If so, why couldn't he kill Elmond's daughter?"

"I don't know."

　The subordinate twisted his head.

"What a shame !"

The Lord shouted at his man, but the man looked at him blankly.

"Even so"

"He replied, "

The Lord finally noticed the iron gaze of his subordinate toward him.

......."

　The subordinate looks down at the Lord with a blank expression.

　A chill ran down the Lord's spine.

"You, don't mean ......?"

　He was about to say something, but the cold gaze of his subordinate prevented him from saying it.

　He now turns his eyes on his subordinate and said ,

that man, how dare he?

　"Oh," he said, as if remembering.

"That will be my last report."

　The Lord nodded in small increments.

"Say it. Quickly."

I have a message from that man. I convey it to you. 'I could see the gate open. Thank you.' That' it ......."

"...... that's all ......?"

　The Lord asked, and his man shrugged.

"That's all."

　The Lord still looked up at his subordinate with a glimmer of hope, but the subordinate coldly said, "Well then, " and turned on his heel to leave the room.

"Hey, wait! I'm ...... what about me!"

　The Lord shouted at his subordinate's back, and his subordinate looked back over his shoulder at the Lord and nodded his head.

'Come on,......, it's going to happen, isn't it? You know best."

　The man opened the door, and his shadow, even darker in the dark room, stretched out ominously.

　With the sound of the door closing, the shadow disappeared.

　The lord , who was left alone, was shocked for a while, but then his whole body began to tremble.

　From somewhere, there was a sound like a whistle.

　Lord Elmond, who's beloved daughter had been attacked was quick to strike back.

　He immediately mobilized the Royal Guard and, based on information from Ward about Almark and the reat , captured five remnants of the Fresh Blood Mercenaries who had been hiding in Galuentre.

　At first, they not believe that Guizarte and the others had been defeated by the people from the south, but when they found out that this was true, they were like dejected shells.

　From the statements of the five men, it was discovered that their employer was one low-ranking nobleman living in the royal capital.

　To capture the man, a group of soldiers is immediately dispatched to his mansion.

　However, upon entering the mansion, they found that it was already

empty and in a state of ruin.

　The captain , panicking, ordered a thorough search of the mansion, wondering if the Lord had already escaped.

　In the end, the lord was found in one of the rooms of the mansion .

　Leaning against a sofa, he was died with a look of terror on his face.

　No one knew where the family, servants, and employees of his had escaped to.

　When they asked five mercenaries, they only replied that they had only had contact with a young man named Grang, a subordinate of the lord , and that he had given them the information and money.

　They continued to asking , but there was no one in the city of Galuentre who knew this Grang man.

　After all, Lord Elmond had no reason to believe that an unknown low-ranking nobleman would hire northern mercenaries to kill his daughter.

　Later, Almark and the others heard only a very brief story of what had happened from Ward.

The winter house was no longer very welcoming to visitors, so Almark and Morgen intended to leave the mansion and return to the academy, but Wendy and Ward strongly protested their decision.

　But Wendy and Ward insisted. They were honestly reluctant to say goodbye to Wendy, who was also in a state of shock.

I hope we''re not guests anymore ."

　Almark nodded at Mogen's words.

"You're right, Morgen. You're looking good today."

'Well, yeah."

　The two decided to stay for a while on the condition that they would not be treated as guests and would be allowed to help with the work at the mansion.
