Chapter 484: Cabin in the Woods

“What will you do with that lover girl?” Samira asked Captain Flavna.

“Cabin in the Woods,” Flavna said flatly.

“Oh, what a pity,” Samira frowned disingenuously. “You’ll leave Mary will be absolutely heartbroken, isn’t that right, sis?”

“Flavna has more of those upstairs,” Mary shrugged and sat down on her so-called bed under the watchful gaze of the eyeless skeleton.

“I think I’ll keep my two friends here for the time being,” Samira said. “At least, until the nice captain finds suitable replacements.”

“How very thoughtful of you,” Flavna said.

“The cooperation between the Crown and the Purple Capes is what has kept this city standing, is it not?” Samira asked but did not wait for an answer. “But now that I’ve confirmed that my little sister is unharmed and in good health, I’d like to have a word with you. Since you’ve so kindly saved me the trip to that gloomy fortress of yours.”

“It may be ‘gloomy’ to some, but at least it hasn’t been ransacked under the nose of its master,” Flavna said.

“It was funny to watch fools show their true loyalties for trinkets and décor that now hold less value than a loaf of bread,” Samira replied with a smile.

“I see,” Samira said. “Well, first of all, on behalf of the Crown and myself personally, I would like to thank you for saving my sister during that sudden and most horrible demon invasion in the mines.”

“Yes, yes,” Flavna all but yawned listening to the empty words. “I’m sure you didn’t come all this way just for that.”

“Indeed,” Samira nodded. “Have you found out how the demons got into the city?”

“The investigation is still ongoing,” Flavna said.

“I see,” Samira frowned. “How unsettling it is that our bellowed people are no longer safe from the demon threat even in this city! I seem to recall somebody assuring us that no demon could simply sneak into the city.”

“I still stand by those words,” Flavna said.

“And yet the demons were within the city walls. How did they get past your watch? Did they burrow underground?”

“Perhaps. Or they didn’t get past my watch.”

“Oh? Wouldn’t that mean that you knowingly let them into the city?” Samira asked.

“That or they were always here,” Flavna said.
