Haru yawned as he descended the second-floor staircase. The moment he stepped down, he shifted half a meter to the right without any visible effort.
Thump—!
The sound of a face colliding with the stairs abruptly echoed—A blond youth with braided hair lay sprawled flat on the steps.
"Strout? What's Blood up to now?" Haru asked calmly, looking towards the Black Knight Strout standing beside a nearby support pillar.
After staying at this residence for a week—Haru had become familiar with Altrouge's Black and White Knights through their seven days of interaction, which was why he now addressed Strout directly by name to inquire about the situation.
"Ah, Mister Haru. Blood's actions have caused too many young boys in town to go missing. It's even made the regional newspaper—Therefore, I am currently administering some 'education'!"
Strout stated indifferently, simultaneously folding his hands and continuously cracking his knuckles, producing 'cracka-cracka' sounds.
As the princess—Altrouge naturally spent her days playing with Fou in a manner befitting her status. Meanwhile, White Knight Blood had a habit of occasionally abandoning his duties to hunt beautiful young boys.
Therefore, the mature and steady Black Knight Strout had always been responsible for managing the forces belonging to the Black Princess. Consequently, tasks like communicating with other factions and handling the aftermath were all dealt with by him.
