"We were ordered by the leader. We have to defeat Hexodar and take control of Hexa. All the enemies who have fought us will die. We will attack in great numbers!"
That was what Princess Althea's assailant had said. He didn't mention Princess Harya, but rather the leader of the Qobra Clan. Prince Xanfon repeatedly asked about Princess Harya's involvement, the assailant said he didn't know. But he said something, "Karm Kingdom is indeed our ally."
It took a long time to extract information. There's a lot of honesty potion they had to spray. The effect now was that the assailant looked drunk, like a pocket-man.
Now the nobles in that place were gathered, discussing what they should do, while Prince Xanfon checked Princess Althea's condition.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly after the princess woke up.
"It seems," she replied. "The medicine is working well although it still hurts."
"Looks like they covered their weapons with poison."
