Where is the owner of this crucial castle?
The Wild Boar Knight picked up the fallen sword and carried the defeated Knight of the Bamboo Rat. He led him out of the hall, ascending to the second floor via a spiraling staircase.
He had already put away his weapon.
"As long as I don't draw my own sword, the amplification of aristocratic law is in my favor," The Wild Boar Knight mentally prepared himself, "The crucial thing is to find the Lord of this place. Perhaps if I can find him and help him break free from the witch's control or deception, I can immediately receive the aid of the local army."
"Perhaps the Hearthstone Witch might even be slain by me here, and I could gain the friendship of the local lord - potentially even earning a village or a monastery in the process."
The Wild Boar Knight calculated the business opportunities in his heart.
This was something their Knight Regiment often did: accepting an invitation from a lord to eliminate a target in their domain.
