Vikir took the article from Piggy.
[Exclusive] 'The Night Hound', the birth of an unprecedented villain who roams the Imperial Capital!
-The Night Hound has shown up again. The nature of the threat has remained unclear until recently, when a terror like no other has swept across the imperial capital. Nothing is known about the Night Hound, whether it is an individual or an organization, or what its purpose is, and no family, not even the Imperial House, has been able to uncover it. All eyes are now on who will be the first to uncover the identity of this vicious villain and bring him to justice.
The seven great houses of the Empire – Baskerville the Ironblooded, Morg the Mage, Don Quixote the Spearman, Usher the Archer, Leviathan the Poisonous, Bourgeois the Tycoon, and Quavadis the Faithful – have organized a hunt to capture the terrorist, and the Imperial Capital has placed a bounty of 1,000,000,000 gold on the head of the Night Hound. ...
And underneath the newspaper, you can see a few pictures stuck to it, animated by magic.
The newspaper was published by a large newspaper outside of the capital, and the pictures showed the locations where the Night Hound had raided, selecting only the branches of the House of Quovadis, most notably the Old Order.
Naturally, the orphanage at the bottom, run by the Indulgentia family, was also in the picture, and Vikir could be seen in it.
Of course, Vikir is just a tiny figure in the corner of the photo, flanked by Tudor and Sancho. Piggy, Bianca, Sinclair, and others were also in the picture, so there wasn't much room for error.
"Look, Vikir, we're in the papers! I'm having one of those media days!"
Piggy was thrilled to be featured as a passerby in this tiny photo.
But it's only for a moment, and Piggy soon grows sullen.
