"Neuk Barony..."
Alaric murmured in his mind, staring directly at the flames.
"I thought the fact I managed to kill their soldiers would make them think twice before attempting anything against us again... but I guess I was wrong... those bastards..."
As he was thinking to himself, Ava suddenly spoke behind him.
"There's no way he would do something like this. Attacking a fellow Barony under the same laws is disobeying the order from the Count. Neuk isn't stupid enough..."
It hit her.
The people who attacked didn't mention who they were; in fact, they were keen on keeping it hidden even after she asked.
"No way... he did it..."
"That bastard! Master! Please don't tell me you plan on just letting this go! They have to pay for this."
Those were Aurora's words as she looked to her master.
They waited for his response, Ava and Laura both having their eyes focused on him.
"Ava," Alaric called out.
"Y-yes."
