Book 2: Chapter 4: It's exploding. An incident is exploding (4)

The Flynn Merchant Guild leader is dead. The second child has run away.

Two sentences were enough.

I'll send people over right away.

* * *

The capital, Huiss City.

The atmosphere in the capital was extremely dull, unlike the blue sky despite it not being long since they heard about the victory at Puzzle City.

I dont see smoke anymore.

"The Orsena Estate was on fire, right?

Yes. My next-door neighbor Charles said he saw it.

Ho. What the-!

The man stopped talking and quickly closed his mouth.

Clack. Clack. Clack.

Around ten soldiers fully clad in armor were walking by in formation.

Soldiers were efficiently moving around like this all around the capital right now.

Furthermore, a knight on a horse was moving quicker than they normally did in the capital.

Hey.

The man who closed his mouth asked his close friend in an extremely quiet voice.

Aside from the Dukes Estate, at the palace earlier-

.

Didnt you hear a loud noise coming from there? It sounded like something was crumbling down.

I dont know either.

The eyes of the person who responded were slightly shaking.

The palace and the Orsena Estate, which was located in the area with all the residences of the nobles Neither location was close to her house.

That was why all she knew was that something had happened.

"I guess we should probably close for the day.

Her close friend quickly put the goods back into the store. She started to move to help him when she saw someone coming toward them and her eyes opened wide. The shop owner, who was putting away the stand, reacted the same way.

Oh! You are-

Hello, mister. You still have some medicinal roots, right?

Huh? Y, yes!

Please organize all of the ones you have and send them to our estate!

Hey, wait a minute.

The medicinal roots merchant urgently called out to the young boy who was speaking quickly. His voice was a bit cautious.

Did something happen?

Some of the people around them turned to look at the young boy as well.

This young boy was someone who worked at a Counts Estate and had come from the neighborhood of the nobles.

That-

Furthermore, the fact that he was buying large quantities of medicinal roots must mean that something had happened.

It was because the person who wants these medicinal roots must be someone at the Counts Estate.

The Orsena Estate caught on fire and burnt down completely.

What?

And, umm-

He looked around, confirmed that there were no soldiers nor knights near them, and continued to speak.

Ah, I dont know if I can really say this

"Are you really going to be like this? I'm friends with your father.

"Mm, that is true.

That was the reason this young boy was in charge of purchasing goods from this merchant. He approached his fathers close friend and whispered quietly.

I heard that one of the palaces was destroyed.

Huh?

Apparently it was a terrorist incident.

Gulp.

The merchant's pupils started shaking. His close friend, who was listening as well, could not say anything because she was so shocked.

The young boy saw their reactions and grabbed the merchants arm as if to snap him out of it.

Hey, mister.

Huh, huh? S, should we run?

The young boy shook his head after hearing what the merchant barely managed to say.

"The Commander-nim entered the Orsena Estate moments ago. I saw him myself.

Hmm?

I heard that his highness, the Crown Prince, was here as well.

The Commander. The Crown Prince.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The merchants chaotic eyes slowly started to focus again.

The news about Cales arrival at the capital was slowly being spread.

* * *

While that was going on

Rustle.

Human, this place really is almost completely burnt down.

Cale was stepping onto the Orsena Estate.

He had left the issues at the Flynn Merchant Guild to the people Alberu had sent and then immediately headed over here.

Commander-nim.

The knight who seemed to be in charge of the situation at the Orsena Estate bowed toward Cale.

Something is different.

This was the first time that the knight had met the well-discussed Commander in person.

He found it difficult to look at Cale.

I feel a sense of pressure. Is this the Commander; is this the hero named Cale Henituse?

The knight gulped and looked at Cale who was standing in front of him.

Human! Why are you pretending to be strong? Theres nobody here who is strong.

Cale looked inside and gulped.

Ooooooooooo.

A child was lying on a bed with her eyes closed. She seemed to be sleeping but her body was shaking and she was groaning as if she was having a nightmare.

Aaah!

She screamed from time to time as well.

Stop.

The knight put the entrance flap down at Cales command.

A royal mage and someone who looked like a priest were inside the tent with the child.

The child's guardian?

The knight immediately answered Cales question.

"We have contacted the House of Orsenas closest collateral line. However

He continued with a stiff expression on his face.

Young lady Orsena is being suspected of being responsible for the palace terror incident and the only survivor of the House of Orsena is the youngest young lady. We cannot loosen our guard on the child because of that.

He wasnt wrong.

Of course, we are focusing on the child's treatment and stability.

Okay.

He spoke into the air without caring about the knight standing there.

Ask the Saint-nim and Miss Cage to come to the capital.

I understand, human! What about the unconscious Billos?

Tell them to bring him with them. Please do it as quickly as possible.

But for them to teleport such a long distance-

"Contact Sheritt-nim as well.

Ah! Okay!

The black castle that had returned to the Forest of Darkness

Former Dragon Lord Sheritt and a few Dragons were there right now.

One of them should be enough.

If at least one of those Dragons came to the capital with the Saint, Cage, and the others

If a Dragon resided in the capital

Cale-nim.

You're here?

Choi Han was running over after finishing things up at the Flynn Merchant Guild.

Two Dragons and Choi Han.

No matter who the hell those Hunters are

They wont be able to touch the capital anymore.

Ill need to go into the building.

Yes, sir.

Hide the information about the youngest young lady's survival and the Ducal couple's death as much as possible.

Yes, sir!

It was at that moment.

Vice Cap, eek, Commander-nim!

A mage was urgently running out of a tent when he saw Cale and stumbled over his words.

Human! I'll be back after contacting them! Ill tell as many Dragons as possible to come!

The invisible Raon commented and moved away but Cale didnt pay much attention to him.

Inside the tent from where the mage ran out from

Is the child awake?

Yes, yes, sir! She said that she has something to say.

Cale walked into the tent.

The now awakened child was holding onto the priests sleeve and shouting something.

The fire-, the fire-!

Cale cautiously approached the child.

Of course, he withdrew the Dominating Aura.

The child's eyes were wandering aimlessly in the air and her mouth was shaking.

The fire-!

The child made eye contact with Cale at that moment.

The child looked at Cale's red hair before making a comment.

"S, shield-

Cale slowly activated his shield.

He then cautiously approached the child.

The shield with silver wings appeared in the tent.

The youngest young lady stepped off of the bed.

Young lady Orsena, you need to rest-!

The priest stopped her but the child reached her hands toward Cale and tried to walk.

Cale walked over and extended his hand to the child. The child grabbed his hand.

Mm.

The childs grip was stronger than he had expected.

Her movements seemed extremely desperate.

Cale lowered his body and made eye contact with the child. The child shouted.

"Fire, fire- white magic-!

Cale calmly responded.

Was it white magic that caused the fire?

The child nodded her head and fell into Cales arms before losing consciousness.
