From the mouth of Kingsguard Leanhardt, I am informed of a terrible incident.

Isis, a surrogate girl, was kidnapped by someone.

"There are too many people here. We're moving."

"Oh, okay..."

Move out of the middle of the market (Bazaar) to hear more.

The shade of a wagon that stopped at the back of the Uld Dewstore. There's no public here, and even if someone comes, I can sense it right away.

I'll be alone with Knight Lenhardt and continue the conversation.

"How long ago did Isis disappear?

"Xama, to summon Master Isis!

"It won't be that time of year"

"... oh yeah"

Ask Lienhardt about the time and circumstances that disappeared after making sure there were no signs of people around him.

It's from situation verification because we can't do field verification right now.

"Yes, earlier... disappeared with one of the women"

"Maybe there was an inside man."

"Oh... now I might think so"

Lienhardt regrets it, but if there was an insider, it would have been an unprotected situation.

The information coming to this market (Bazaar) was also leaked (as well) to the other side, and they may have targeted the timing of being alone with the woman.

It's probably a planned kidnapping, planned in advance and executed by someone.

The killer is the Hizan Empire.

"Eighty-nine out of ten will be... so far I have no proof..."

Lenhardt, the knight of Orn, answers in a cloudy manner.

It's the hard part of a serving knight that can't clearly say who did it, even though there's no evidence.

Especially this time the opponent is a neighboring empire that is another country and a powerful country.

"The aim is to use Isis as a negotiating tool."

"That's a big possibility..."

It's too risky to target Taisho surrogates who were protected by Kingsguard knights for monetary purposes.

Then you should be targeting merchant children.

Then the kidnappers are after “diplomatic tools."

That would undoubtedly be the Hizan Empire, which is after the trade city of Orn.

"What are the measures taken by the Orn Kingsguard Knights?

"We have already sent the Orn Guard to the trade halls and embassies of Hizan relations throughout the city. But..."

"Extraterritorial?"

"Oh, the merchants with embassies and noble positions, even the guards, can't help themselves."

"I guess."

The most suspicious place of detention for Isis is the embassy or commercial hall of the Hizan Empire.

But some of the great merchants bought the title of nobility in their own country for gold.

Extraterritorial jurisdiction is activated on these people, and they cannot be forcibly investigated without evidence.

As for the Orn side, I want to prioritize Isis' safety without stimulating his opponents.

Even if Taisho surrogates were kidnapped but within the walls, the Orn side, to which the law applies, was overwhelmingly advantageous in the long war.

"All Hizan-related buildings have been instructed to be surrounded.

"... if Isis is still in the city."

"Bye, silly!? No way, no..."

To my hypothesis, Lenhardt abhors his voice.

He said it was impossible to get Isis out of the wall through the entrance and exit examinations at the gates of the walls surrounding the city.

"Dana the Yamato!

It was then.

From the back entrance of the Uld's Dewstore, a new man approaches calling my name.

I'm here.

Reply to those whose voices sound familiar.

"Dana! In here! Oh, my God!... whoa..."

It was the Player Rack that came running in out of breath.

Check the face of Leannhardt, who was with me behind the dewstore, and stop at the words that came out of his mouth.

"" Isis related, "Rack. Then it's okay to say."

"Sort of..."

I'm guessing Rack had a confidential report on me.

From the reactions seen by Kingsguard Lenhardt, I assumed that I was Isis related.

"I will... I will. It's hard."

Rack would have done everything in his power.

Excited, out of breath, words don't go on in pieces. This is not a situation we can talk about.

"Calm down, Rack. Hey, what's up?

"Thank you, Dana of Yamato..."

I'll bring you some drinking water and let you drink it.

Rack, who has regained his composure, begins to report quietly.

"Dana, it's hard... the kidnapped Isis was taken outside the city earlier"

"If so, stupid!? So soon!? How did you get the castle gate checked out?

To Rack's exact report, Lenhardt unwittingly raises his voice.

With the vibrancy of the market (Bazaar) before the evening, its voice had been cancelled, so I don't have to worry about anything else being heard.

But it would have been so unexpected by then.

"It's a carriage of horse shit disguised as a haulier, and it looks like they took him outside"

Witnessed it was an orphan working horse shit pickup in the city.

A wagon carrying an unfamiliar man, he said, broke through the interrogation and left through the east gate.

The orphan, suspiciously, sneaks up to follow him outside the castle gate.

It was dangerous, but he said he was impotent because secret information would be gold at any rate.

Witnessed a well-dressed fainted woman transferred to a carriage waiting outside.

The carriage, he said, drove away at a tremendous speed in the eastern direction.

"From the orphan story, the woman is definitely Isis."

Rack was lucky enough to hear the information and "bought” it the best.

By the way, explain that the orphan's condition is "secure” in a certain place.

It was Rack's discretionary decision to keep the information from leaking and spreading confusion in the city.

"Luck, well done"

"Heh. But what do you do, Dana the Yamato? We have to hurry..."

"Oh, the carriage with Isis crosses the border"

With the carriage heading east, it was established that the killer was a flavor of the empire. And if you get out of Orn's territory, this one can't help you anymore.

The future of Isis, taken as it were to imperial territory, is tragic. As an instrument of inter-state diplomacy, you will be spared your life as good.

"What about the Knights' Pursuit?

"We're going to Taisho Hall... but then..."

Organizing all the information, Leahardt is losing his word.

This young man, a Kingsguard knight, can be seen to be wise from previous exchanges.

Therefore, 'I will not chase you to a fast carriage with Isis on it, even if I request and prepare the Knights to appear now' … I am convinced of that reasoning.

Even Time Ross, who is pursued by the Orn Knights, may have been a good one on the Imperial side, who had been calculating closely.

"Damn! I... disqualify my knight..."

In a seriously nasty language in the Kingsguard knight, Lenhardt exhales remorse.

I am not ashamed of my sin of faultlessness, which is an escort.

I regret that my mistakes have taken away the future of the Lord Isis by serving him from an early age.

"Lienhardt, are you free after this?"

Ask the knight who was like a soul loose shell.

I wondered if I was prepared to go help Isis, the Lord, until I risked his status and his life.

"Naturally! If it's for Isis, I can throw away" everything ”!

There are no lies in that word.

Lienhardt forsakes his flourishing Kingsguard status, but swears to me he wants to protect the life of the girl he's served.

"All right, then help me."

"Become... xama, what the hell..."

Ignoring the knight who comes to visit as abrupt (absurd) without understanding, I turn my body.

"Everybody." There. "Did you hear that?"

I ask in the space where no one is supposed to be. It's a waste of time, so I have to explain it a second time, just in case.

"Sorry...... Mr. Yamato"

"What, you were finding out, brother!

"That's Brother Yamato!

Reacting to my voice, everyone at the Uld Dewstore, including the village chief's granddaughter Risha, shows up with all of them.

"Become... when did they..."

The knight Lenhardt hadn't noticed, but everyone had been hiding and listening for a long time.

Conversation between me and Lienhardt. And the fact that Isis, the Taishou surrogate girl, was kidnapped.

"" Bastards, it's time for work! "

I command my men in a rough tone. Words and tones I never use.

"" Hey! Brother! ""

"" What is this prey? ""

In response to that word, the children also respond in a thieving tone. Ignoring Lenhardt, who doesn't understand what's going to happen, I go on with the words.

"" This time the prey to take... the princess of Orn! Look, bastards! ""

"" Heh! Brother (aki)!!

Everyone responds to my orders with their eyes shining.

There was a mysterious armed group that suddenly appeared in the northern region about a year ago.

The men were overwhelmingly fired, instantly destroying the bandits who were in the windmill hut

From the mouth of a hard-won surviving thief, only their name spread with fear.

Its name is "The Mountain Dogs".

Once upon a time, it was time for the fierce men who swept through the Urd region to come out again to help Isis the girl.
