The gates opened. Under the Duchess' leadership, many entered and soon ran away to vomit.
It was not a sight that most could digest. The poor little lifeless bodies would induce nightmares for years to come for many. And many might never ever forget it. This was much different from a simple murder or wartime violence. This was a sin, no matter which god you prayed to.
After the bodies, they saw the words on the wall. The advisor of Chief Koruk also saw it and gasped in fear and anger. After all, such an act was blasphemy to the name of five mother goddesses in his eyes.
The Duchess walked beside Sylvester and looked at the dead body of the culprit. "Did you kill him?"
"No, he was dead when I got in. You should have barged into the building from the start. It seems he never wished to leave or let these children go. He came here to do exactly this. How did he enter the town, however?" Sylvester inquired.
