This thing is truly sinister.
If I had gone to find Imilo with a sword in hand, maybe things would have been okay. At most he would have thought I'd gone mad, beaten me up, and then investigated the reason.
If I had challenged some other formidable person, I might have died without even knowing how.
...
Knock knock knock~!
Just as Wu Heng had sat down at his desk, the door was knocked on.
"Come in!"
The door opened, and a woman clad in a gray cloak with her head bowed entered.
She came in quickly and then took off her hood.
Millicent, Philippa's mother.
"Deputy Steward!" Millicent bowed respectfully.
One could see that Millicent was in good spirits.
Her mental state had also improved significantly since before.
"What's the matter?" asked Wu Heng.
Being an information scout, it was actually quite dangerous for her to come directly to me.
If someone tailed her or if she were recognized by anybody,
it would be easy for others to investigate.
