"Ania… is that true? Your husband killed the son of a prefecture lord?" Puula's calm mindset was finally shaken. "That…"
"Yes, but it's not like that! It happened within a tournament and Dioro wouldn't have killed him unless it was necessary!" shouted Ania.
"That much is true…" The mysterious man nodded. "That kid brought it on himself, so most people wouldn't blame Dioro at all. But that's not the case for the kid's father, who's notoriously known to hold grudges. It also doesn't help that Dioro slew two more of the man's sons after they went after Dioro in secret, something neither that man nor Dioro managed to control..."
Seeing Ania's sunken expression, the man shook his head. "Oh… I suppose Dioro hadn't mentioned that part…"
Unable to properly determine the level of doom such a thing could bring, Puula tried her best to think clearly. "Then… What could we possibly do to stop that? How could we stop a prefecture lord?"
