As the days passed, Witt was inside the fortress and didn't know what had happened to the outside world. Nearly two months have passed since the expedition of Warisienpoye, and the guards in the fortress have basically not left the iron fence gate, and the bandits around Fesdena have become more and more rampant, and some bold gangs have even directly attacked the thatched houses around the village, robbed the people's daughters, and burned down the houses, and the villagers were terrified day and night, and the misery was unspeakable.

Witt lived somewhat peacefully and even comfortably in the castle. In addition to the daily training of the Knight of Cass every day, he had three full meals, and the food in the lord's hall had never had the opportunity to experience before. Even the recruits basically live in the barracks outside the hall, and the food in the barracks is not the same as the food of the nobles in the hall. In his free time, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by Cass, Witt basically stayed in his room and read, and after a few weeks, he could read some words, and it was barely possible to read some simple letters and books.

Since becoming a knight's squire, Witt and Joey have had many opportunities to meet, but due to various environmental factors, the opportunities for the two to talk to each other have become fewer. Joy was later recognized by the captain of the fortress garrison, Marigapoye, for his outstanding martial arts performance and strong stature, and became a member of Marigapoye's personal guard, which was captained by another person whom Witt did not know. As a result, there are fewer opportunities for Witt and Joey to meet. Witt didn't have any news about Emia's situation, but he just sent a few dinars a week on time, and I don't know how she was doing, and Witt really missed Emia a little.

That night, Witt returned from the practice field to the hall of the lord after training as usual, ready to return to his room. Witt was walking down a dark hallway with no candlelight and poor lighting, when he suddenly heard the two talking unnoticed. Witt had no intention of the hall, but the familiar voice made Witt stop. I saw that the voice was soft, and there was a sense of strength in it, which was unstoppable, and this was Lady Okesha, the sister of Varishin Enboye. Witt unconsciously looked for a voice and stood outside the door to listen.

"It's been two months, and it's not done yet?" There was a hint of anger in Oksha's tone, which couldn't help but arouse Witt's curiosity.

"Didn't I tell you before? Before the letter could be delivered, it was robbed by the damned bandits, and I was asking around for the whereabouts of the bandits! Another man's voice came to Witt's ears, and Witt felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Robbed by bandits? You're messing up the troubles for those thugs for such a big thing? Don't you know how long you will have to wait for such a rare opportunity today after losing this opportunity? Besides, if some bandits put that letter in the hands of someone else for money, neither of us would want to live! The more Oksha spoke, the more excited she became, but she still didn't lose her temperament.

"Know! Know! I have sent someone to deliver another letter of the same kind, and the letter has already been delivered, and this thing will be done! The man's familiar voice made Witt's brain swell, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"You'd better keep things in order, I don't want to lose my reputation because of this, I'm the first lady of Fested." Oksha said as she calmed down.

Suddenly, a rat came out of the dark corridor and hissed "chirp", startling Witt, but fortunately he was calm and did not make a sound.

When the two people in the room heard the neighing of rats, they were silent for a while, and then the man broke the silence first: "Okay! All right! I'll take care of this, my people have already found the traces of those bandits, and I believe that it won't be long before they can be found out in a honeycomb, so you don't have to worry. After that, the lights in the room dimmed, and then there was an ambiguous voice between men and women.

Witt was shocked, although he didn't understand what the relationship between the two was, there must be some story here. However, he was just a small knight's squire, so there was no need to care about these things.

Witt crept out of the unsettling place and returned to his room, where he sat at his desk flipping through his books, but he was restless all night, thinking about the identity of the familiar man and his relationship with Lady Oksha.

Soon, Witt forgot what had happened that night, and probably didn't take it to heart. The days in the fort were back to their usual normal, training when it was time to train, books when it was time to study, and when the next overture came, it was two weeks later when Witt accompanied Cass to the Hall Dinner.

At the dinner, all the nobles, including the brothers and sisters of the old lord and their descendants, were basically present, and the lights were bright and lively. The aristocratic ladies wore dresses made of fine silk and satin, with their backs bare, and they were extremely sexy, and they were piled together, attracting the attention of the knights who were also well-dressed.

In Calradia, knights and unmarried ladies often know each other at dinners, because generally the knights or ladies who can attend the dinner party have a certain status, since they are in the right place, as long as the parents of both parties agree, they can get married. Marriage was also a political tool for the nobility to satisfy their own rights or interests, so there was no truly pure love for the nobility.

Witt looked at the delicacies and wines that he had never seen at the banquet, but he didn't dare to start easily, because his words and deeds were related to Cass's prestige and honor, so he had no choice but to watch those nobles eat in a proper manner, and he followed Cass on standby. After a month or two in the fortress, Witt understood more about what is a symbol of power and status, that is, endless money, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and beautiful women. People are born in the world, but they have never been equal. Some people want to be superior to others, not only to have opportunities, but also to strength.

At a certain time in the feast, when everyone was having their best, Marigapoye, as captain of the fortress garrison, and as the uncle of Warisienboye, should have the highest say in the absence of the lord, and made a speech to the nobles present: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that you are here tonight for the banquet in the hall, and that you have had a great time. The reason why the banquet was held tonight was mainly for the Knight of Cass to send troops to recruit bandits. Maligapoye paused and looked at Cass. Cass stood up shyly and bowed to all the nobles present, drawing warm applause from all the nobles.

"Recently, Fesde's bandits have been rampant, and some of the bold bandits have even attacked the surrounding areas of the village, causing infinite trouble to the villagers. Now that my people have found out the gathering place of the bandits, tomorrow we will let our Knight of Cass personally lead the troops to exterminate this evil bandit and eliminate the harm for the people! ”

Everyone knew that Maligapoye was talking politely, but he didn't say anything, just echoed and applauded, but Witt looked at Maligapoye blankly.

From the moment Maligapoye spoke, Witt had been pondering where he had heard this familiar voice. After some hard thought, I remembered that the man in the room who was talking to Ms. Okasha when I passed by that corridor two weeks ago was none other than Maligapoye!

Maliga Boye is the uncle of Warisi N Boye, the brother of his father, and Okasha is the sister of Warisi N Boye, oh my! Witt seemed to be hit by a thunderclap on a sunny day, and he couldn't get around the bend. Besides, there seems to be some hidden secret here.

The feast lasted until late at night, and everyone was happy, but Witt was the only one who had a lot of worries all night.
