Chapter 176: (Self Edited) The Hou Household’s Territory
Riding through the night, we finally reached the Hou Household’s territory in the afternoon, only to find soldiers on the territorial border. There were about 2000 soldiers waiting about two kilometers beyond the border.
“We have been waiting for you, Yuri-dono.” (Gin)
It was Gin Toga, whom I had met one day in the forest of Kilghina. A familiar old man was also lined up to salute me.
“Thank you for your hard work. You’ve arrived.” (Yuri)
“I’m sorry to trouble you, but can you tell me the current situation?” (??)
This old man was an old man who had the equivalent title of clan duke, which was the equivalent of a title below the rank of natural nobility. They control the whole area around here.
“I will tell you about the details in Karakumo in the presence of lords. To put it simply, Father, Mother and the Queen were poisoned at the meeting.” (Yuri)
“How can it be…” (??)
“It was the Witches who did it. Think of it as a war.” (Yuri)
