Chapter 28: Proud Knight, Centaur Tribe 4
Sharin and Arisugawa are invited to speak with the lord.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Sharin and I were taken by a centaur guard and brought before the lord.
"Lord Gerbork, I have brought the people I captured."
A man named Gerbork is sitting on a luxurious chair, surrounded by several advisors and guards.
"Hmm, they're the suspicious guys."
I heard the lord start to speak and the nervous-looking man next to me interjected.
"They are, they must be the kidnappers!"
Kidnapping? Are there rumors about what Sharin did?
"Wait, what are you talking about kidnapping people?"
"Don't play dumb, you thief. People are disappearing all over the city and you are the culprits."
It seems that we are being falsely accused.
"No! It wasn't us."
"Watch your mouth, you beast! Execute them quickly!"
The centaur woman behind us spoke after hearing what the advisor said.
"Wait, there is no evidence that these people are the culprits. Why don't you listen to what they have to say?"
The man clicked his tongue slightly at these words. The lord asks Sharin to give her opinion.
Sharin told him that his territory had been chased by Orcs. However, the lord laughed at this story.
"You say, Orcs? There are no such things anywhere. In fact, this city is at peace now that you bandits are gone."
"No way! There must have been some mistake. We definitely fought."
The advisors narrowed their eyes and sneered.
"That's right, I'm not lying."
Sharin's appeal was in vain and the lord ordered us to return to prison.
