Saito stared at him seriously and said, "Captain Akazawa, how long can you run for? If you want to keep on running away from the Crown Prince forever then that's impossible. It is time to take a stand. I have a plan to deal with the search parties… For that, you need to remain in the village."
There were traces of worry on Captain Akazawa's face, "You wouldn't happen to be using us as baits, right Sir Axel?"
He so wished that he was wrong but that illusion shattered when Saito coldly smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I am using the three of you as baits. Don't worry, I assure you that you will be unharmed."
Captain Akazawa muttered under his breath, "That doesn't really assure me."
Saito heard his words but ignored them. He knew what was going to happen in the village was perhaps going to scar the mother and daughter but chose not to tell them anything.
