Chapter 59: The Barony of Esquente (1)
Northern Front, 3rd Commander. Neola Esquente.
A young man in his mid-20s with striking looks and a perpetual, charming smile.
Known more commonly as “Baron Esquente” than by his name or title, he liked to call himself a small-minded person.
He never explained why, but people speculated that it was due to his lack of ambition. Outwardly, he seemed entirely unburdened by any grand dreams or goals.
A man who believed in protecting what he already possessed rather than coveting more. Though not lacking in ability, he was easily content and quick to settle. His actions were casual, and his words carried little weight.
“Ah, you really went through a lot! Both of you! It’s worth entrusting things to people you can rely on. Thanks to you, the whole region around Requitas is in an uproar. The rumors are flying thick and fast!”
“Rumors?”
“They say the gods sent a demon to purify Requitas! People swear they saw a monster from hell ripping throats out with a ‘crunch, crunch,’ breaking bones as it fed. Did you really do that?”
