Chapter 12:
EP 12 - House of 20 Bodies(2)
“My Lord!”
The knight captain, Robin, who was living the most relaxed life in the estate, came running to me in a hurry. When he came running like this, it meant something urgent had happened. Robin, who usually behaved as calmly as a guide dog for the blind, would act like a border collie chasing a frisbee whenever there was something he had to take responsibility for or something he had to do. As I stroked Sieri's head, I asked.
“Why the rush, Robin?”
“The guards have captured a group of bandits.”
“Bandits?”
If there was anyone in this territory who dared to oppose me, it was the bandits. These guys acted as if they had pawned their lives somewhere, frequently appearing at the borders of the territory and harassing people. The level of plunder had gotten so bad Lucius frequently summoned the guards to patrol.
Recently, things had been relatively quiet, but suddenly there was another skirmish. They must have had several lives to spare. Maybe Lucius had spared them once or twice.
