Chapter 32
Thanksgiving. A festival to share the year-long awaited harvest and pray for abundance. People gathered in the county every year to enjoy said festival.
What if something scandalous were to arise during the festivities?
For example, someone breaking into the ruling family’s manor while security was more sparse.
'An attack by a group of bandits who didn’t even know the basics.’
Allen remembered the incident that occurred at that time. It was an unprecedented incident that, through Julius, drew the attention of the city and even made a bet with the aristocracy by mobilizing a mercenary corps.
‘Taking advantage of that, our treasure trove was taken from the manor, and the other noble families belittled us.’
In the end, Julius chased the bandits down and killed them, recovering the stolen goods. However, the damage done to their family’s honor was irreversible.
“Father, this must’ve been a set up!”
Lost in thought, a familiar voice woke Allen.
