Half an hour later, suitors gathered in the hall of the manor house of Maple Leaf Village.
Crick Keane, sitting in a wheelchair, was still at ease. But the Baroness pushing the wheelchair had lost her calm and her nerves showed.
His subordinates and guards were even more anxious, embarrassed, and restless. They looked as if they were facing their enemies. But they did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing that, many suitors felt contented and less worried.
Even the strong ones who managed to come back alive from the battlefield of the "Day of Sun's Death" would die eventually. Crick in the present was like a dying beast. Even a milk-fed puppy could bark at him without fear.
Of course, these suitors were not little puppies. They were all insidious, cunning and vicious. It would be hard to find even one easy-going person among them.
So where were the easy-going and kind ones?
