The female from the group jumped out with a bow in her hand and shouted, "It was an arrow, I shot it," while pointing at the bloodstains on the ground. There was no doubt that the boar had crossed the river, likely running into Lucius.
"Well, that's the same boar. I did kill it and store it," Lucius confirmed before continuing his walk towards Varis.
''Wait, you can't just steal...'' she began to protest, but her voice trailed off as Lucius turned around, revealing the injuries on his chest. Only now did she get a good look, and she had never seen anything quite like it – a painting of scars that left her momentarily speechless.
''I didn't steal it. In fact, I don't need to steal. The boar ran into me, and I simply killed it. If you were strong enough, it wouldn't have escaped,'' Lucius explained with a shake of his head.
