Shevrin Territory, Herrington.
The name of the Realm of Chaos was not derived after the Battle of Shevrin in 708, in fact, it was originally called this way, but it was only re-mentioned after 708 - it was originally the land of a small independent state, which was conquered by the king of the Kingdom of Luther and became part of the king's domain - but because it was far from the king's domain, the original negligence made it the least safe territory.
Greed Rueders changed all that.
Clearing wasteland, building water conservancy, rebuilding villages, putting things in order – the tall buildings that have appeared in the past two years are synonymous with what Greid did.
But not a lot of people like it all.
"Oh, damn thieves!" said a woman who walked out of a shop on a street in Hurrington with a door that was jerked open, "May Ironia curse these thieves!"
The Herington thieves have a longer history than the rulers - they claim to be a family, but they do not operate in the mountains and forests like robbers, and in the city they are unguarded, and it is known that they may be made up of young children.
Sounds scary.
"Ma'am, what happened?" the woman sighed at the thought of the terrible situation, when a magnetic voice drew her attention elsewhere, and she turned her head to find that at some point, a carriage had stopped nearby—it was obviously the carriage of a nobleman of a transcendent position, for it looked very imposing, but it was not too ostentatious.
The woman was startled, and the carriage stopped.
The woman realized that the owner of the carriage, a nobleman, was talking to one of her commoners—when the curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing a gentle-expression, very handsome face—and the woman was speechless for a moment.
"Big ...... My lord...... Be...... It's a thief from Herrington!" the woman stammered.
"Oh, did he show up again?" said the handsome gentleman, who thought for a moment, and then reassured the bewildered woman, "don't worry, I'll catch him, Dick, and give this lady some money." ”
"Yes, sir. A servant's voice came from the carriage.
"Oh, no...... No, sir, you don't have to!" the woman was flattered, and the carriage door opened, and a man of sturdy physique, with mediocre features, and yet dressed in a formal suit, stepped down—and it was then that the woman saw the handsome man clearly.
He seemed to be dressed in the same formal dress as the servant named Dick, but both the material of the clothes and the man's imposing presence were markedly different from his—the man with no ornaments, exuding a gentle aura that made people feel very comfortable to look at, and he should have been a person to be feared—and the woman felt relieved at the sight of him.
"I want people here to be happy, that's what Arentia wants. The man smiled at her.
The woman didn't know when she would get those equivalent compensations, and she didn't come to her senses until the man's carriage was far away.
"Oh, Arentia is on top...... That must be Mr. Greid!" the woman exclaimed.
He was exactly as rumored, with a gentle smile and those reassuring gestures.
"Sir, none of the people we sent out were rewarded - I think the thief was a magician. At this moment, in the carriage, Dick spoke respectfully to his master.
"That's amazing -- what I wanted you to do for me the other day, keep a list of the victims and their locations, I wonder how you did?" asked Greid.
"I'm trying to tidy up!, but the number of victims keeps increasing—oh, damn thieves!" Dick said discouragedly.
"We've only been here for two years, in other words, they're the masters of this place - you just have to do your best - I really admire this thief, so many people will be helpless against him. And fifteen days ago, he wrote me a letter declaring war, and it is really interesting that there is such a duel. Grede said as he stroked the ring on his hand with his thumb - a dark blue gemstone ring that shone with a faint light.
The famous Shevrin thief had written to Grede fifteen days earlier that he believed that Grede's rule had had a major impact on his career, and that he wanted to drive him out.
It looked like a prank letter, and Greid just thought it was funny, but it was only during this time that stealing was on the rise in Herrington that Greid was sure it was there.
So Greid visited a lot of places these days, hoping to find some clues about the thief.
But Grede probably didn't notice a man watching their carriage—in the alley, a thin figure, standing in the shadows, eyes as faint as the jewels of Greid's ring.
==========================================
The sound of dripping water in my ears became clearer and clearer.
Gradually, her consciousness regained until she could lift her somewhat heavy eyelids—and after opening her eyes for the umpteenth time, she raised her head slightly, only to realize that she was in a prison-like place.
Where is she?
When she gradually regained her senses, she found that her mouth was gagged with a cloth and her hands were tied.
"Are you awake, Lornay. Then a voice rang out.
Fitney looked up and saw the figure of a girl - Chris looked at her, there was no emotion on that face, it seemed to be joy and sorrow - she had never had such an expression on her face, so Fitney did not immediately realize that she was Chris.
Answered, Was it a joke? Her mouth was gagged - perhaps to stop her from chanting when she woke up.
However, Chris's consideration in this matter is purely overconsidering.
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to let you drink or eat - who knows how you're going to try to get out?" Chris added.
Fitney didn't speak.
Actually, Chris did overestimate her - but Chris's vigilance about himself helped him figure out what she wanted to do.
"I've heard that you're a nobleman—from the House of Wizdem, and I've heard of that family, and it's very prominent. Chris thought for a moment, and as he spoke to her, Fitney's pupils narrowed, as if surprised that Chris knew about it—and Chris seemed relieved, and continued, "But you have abandoned your family's glory to the point that the Janelle family has a lot of criticism of you. ”
Fitney was stunned, does Sharon have anything to do with this?
At the same time, a person came out of the room--Sharon looked very different from before, and even Fitney was very surprised to see it, because her face was now pale - like a dead person, and it had not been half a month, and Sharon had become so thin, especially with wide-eyed eyes, that people felt very terrible to see.
Is this still a living person?
At this moment, Sharon suddenly rushed up!
