Several pine flames shake in the night darkness. Also this year, a number of phosphorous moths are flying while drawing phosphorescence. From the small high hills, only the movement of its lights was well seen.

Since Theo took the warriors to search for the Bandits, it's time for a minute and a half to pass.

Renting one of the simple tents, Latka put him to sleep first. It's time for me to be sleepy too, but I wanted to stay awake until I had my primary report, and I'm standing outside the tent.

When I noticed the sound of arrow cod and heavy feathers coming from the fudge sky and raised my gaze, I saw Raswiwok spreading his wings of that dragon toward this one how he found out about my return.

Its giant wolf dragon (Dracanis), which lands right in front of you with the skies, is bigger than the earliest horse. It's still early to mature, but the body is already growing.

Raswiwok slowly lay down that graceful body in front of me. Wow, sounding in a sweet voice because I've been away a lot for a while here at the Golden Hill Hall?

"Thanks for the welcome, Raswiwok. I didn't plan to go back."

I'll stroke the base of your ear just like a dog. As he gently slipped his fingertips so that the scales wouldn't peel off, Raswiwok narrowed his eyes comfortably.

"From the Duchy of Denzel, it seems the bandits have broken in.... neighboring countries don't really give me a break. I hope Count Theresia's age is taken into account."

Ironically, as if he were a human, Raswiwok replied with a gentle snort.

Bandits. Slowly exhale into that word in your head.

It is common in this world, and in this country, until a few years ago, there were a lot of people who turned themselves into bandits from this Cardiac territory.

Most of them returned to their territories after the death of their father, and most of them entered the ranks. They were about the diagram of the Earl of Teresia, and their aspect as victims rather than sinners was highlighted. There are others who are still missing, but so far there are no bandits who make noise in Arksia.

Bandits aren't basically like making a living with one of them.

Basically, those who usually build fields attack the rest of them from hunger and poverty.

For the first time, like in Cardiac territory, without taking it from people, there is no food or anything to wear instead of gold, and the bandits begin to leave to extra land.

The bandits, who allegedly broke into the territory this time, came all the way across the border. It also broke into Arksia, far more secure than Denzel. I don't think it's simply intended to loot, nor do I think they're the only ones doing it on their own.

Then we talk about what the purpose is, but we don't know that. Hopefully we can catch him well.

─ ─ Should I pull out the tools that are behind the dungeon?

I thought about that as I followed the shaky pine lights under my eyes with my unconstitutional eyes.

The bandits broke into our territory from neighboring countries where relations are deteriorating. Yugfena was passed undamaged. Junus has poked his cooperation from the other side. If we capture it, it will basically be my and Count Teresia's right to deal with the identity and information of the bandits.

Conversely, listening to them is also the role of those caught. I tapped into the deepest part of the dungeon to see if I would ever put it out in front of the inhabitants again, the interrogation tools, which are the shapes of a hobby father, who could possibly use it myself. I didn't even sell it to sell it, and someday I thought I'd melt it all down and turn it into a weapon, that one made of iron.

The memory of a year that has been shown how to use it scattered remains intense.

I know how to play with people's lives and spirits. No matter how tough and neglectful I may be, I am the daughter who was born and raised in that Cardiac family.

Feeling Raswiwok's ears shake perfectly at his fingertips, he turned to the path he climbed from under the hill. After a while, a few rides climb the hill. It was Gunter who was leading the way.

"Dear Hall!

Gunter and his men, who came running up the hill, came to my side, descending from the horse and kneeling. He laughed a little at Raswiwok, who would serve beside me, but immediately voiced his expression "I have a report" again.

Gunter, have you found anything?

"They say the Sil warriors who went along the territorial border found the hoof trail that broke in from the side of Junas. Nearby are the villages of Kalon and Neza, and the Neza vigilante reports that about two daughters who live outside Neza have been missing since this evening."

After all, the bandits had broken into Cardiac territory and then were out again in Junas. If we can cross the border, we can't do anything. Even cleverly, the opponent pokes through that security hole without fail.

"Find it. Let something good at tracking chase you thoroughly behind your hooves. Take Raswiwok with you. Me and Claudia move to the village of Neza. Give priority to protecting our two daughters."

"Copy that. I'm leaving three men with the escort."

Without even trying to hear back, Gunter jumped on the horse. I don't mind because I don't have anything to say anymore. The heavy sound of the horse's hoof drifts away with acceleration. Raswiwok rubbed his own head against my hand, almost silent, then lost it to the darkness of night.

I give instructions to the three remaining soldiers and to Claudia, who had refrained beside me, and I also cross the horse. Latka decided to leave it. He also gave orders to the Sir warriors who were waiting on the spot to narrow the search a little bit to the southeastern side of the territory and proceeded on the road to the village of Neza.

The nomadic people possess a gift of nature to drive the herd.

Never miss a once besieged herd outside. It is the end of my luck that I entered this realm again from Junas. It was even more fateful to lay hands on my people.
