"What did you say?!" I asked, my words when I asked about their truth making my tone instantly rise.
If I heard correctly, the two maids clearly stated that the current state of my three companions was gone. Moreover, they said with serious faces that they had been beheaded and displayed at the entrance of this sacred forest.
"I'm not joking. Are you serious about what you just said?" I asked.
Their heads looked at each other and nodded. If they say that's true, these dark elves have viciously killed my comrades.
I sat down weakly when I heard that. I glanced to my right. There was my black spear hanging unprotected. With quick steps, I approached the spear that made the two maids gasp in surprise with pale, frightened faces.
