Chapter 352

"Do you have any plans in mind?"

"No plans."

Kishiar's response was succinct. However, his eyes were shining like a predator waiting for the right time to strike.

"But if my guess is correct, thanks to the people we brought today, we might soon get what we want."

The auction will be held again because of the people brought today? Yuder's eyes narrowed at the very significant statement, and he became lost in thought. Ever also wore an expression that seemed to say she almost understood.

"Commander. It seems time for the other members who were outside to return, so I will take my leave. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy delicious tea and cookies."

"What nonsense. This is but a trifle for saving many with your sharp observation. I appreciate the proper guidance today."

After Ever left, Yuder looked down at the almost empty cookie plate and swallowed the last remaining tea. Kishiar seemed to be waiting and lightly tapped the handle of the teapot.

"Would you like another cup? There's still some left."

"I'm fine, thank you."

"How were the cookies Nathan brought? According to Baron Willhem, they are a popular product that every noble family in Tainu sends someone to buy."

The thought of Nathan Zuckerman mingling among the servants lined up to buy cookies, beautifully garnished with dried fruits and decorated with colored sugar powder, was not something he wanted to imagine. Even if it was for the sake of pretending to be decadent, having a swordmaster like him run such an errand was something only Kishiar would command in this world.

"They were fine."

"Perhaps it's because of the fruit, but the first taste was too tangy for my mouth. Next time I'll have to order them to change it to chocolate."

"You plan to order more?"

"Shouldn't I have a good reason if I'm going to send my adjutant out often? Stores where you have to stand in line for a long time are quite suitable for that purpose."

He couldn't say anything more to that. Yuder put the last remaining cookie in his mouth. While it was certainly tasty, his mind was filled only with the last words Kishiar had said before Ever left.

If the auction was to be held today because of the people who had lost their memories, how could that possibly happen? Numerous possibilities filled his head and repeated their busy movement.

"What are you thinking so hard about?"

"I was pondering how your earlier words could come to fruition."

"Was that so intriguing to you?"

Kishiar smiled as if there was no helping it, propped his chin, and answered.

"Simple. It's because of the unrest I will cause."

Only then did Yuder finally understand his meaning.

The existence of those who had lost their memories meant an internal division among the Awakeners in the village of the Star of Nagran. If there were people like Nahan and his comrades who would stop at nothing to avenge others, then conversely, there would have been those who harbored great resentment because of this matter.

Internal opposition and conflict were the best factors to cause members to lose their prudence. Tainu's noble families and Baron Willhem were more likely to experience confusion much quicker and more powerfully than Kishiar had initially expected.

Then, the paths to choose would also narrow, and after that, things would unfold faster than they had anticipated before coming to Tainu.

"Your Majesty. You must have heard about the explosion incident today."

"Of course."

"It seems that Baron Willhem was in contact with the capital all day about the matter. My father seemed extremely angry that he still couldn't catch the people who killed the knights in the Great Sarain Forest, on top of Tainu being violated."

"The fact that you're here means it's no longer a concern."

"Yes. Thanks to the confusion, it was easy for me to get in touch with those I know."

The people Pruelle knew in Tainu were those who had worked under Baron Willhem for a long time, along with some nobles. During Pruelle's brief stay in Tainu as a child, these individuals had helped him and his siblings with compassion. They readily shared information without suspicion, at the request of a prince who wanted to know about the local situation.

"My father, through Baron Willhem, appears to have secretly hidden smuggled goods at a midpoint in Tainu and then redistributed them to the capital and the southern regions. In the south, he mainly sent 'horses brought from the west.' Though they called them horses, what they actually were... you can probably guess."

"People, I suppose."

"Yes."

Pruelle, who had answered succinctly, looked down at the meat he had been slicing and stopped moving. For a fleeting moment, a complex emotion passed over his expressionless face.

"According to the information... there are 'horses' that have not yet been 'distributed' at that 'midpoint' in Tainu. There probably aren't many places to hide living horses. So, I've marked a few places that are likely to be used as bases, according to my guess."

Pruelle handed over a book he had brought to Kishiar. It was a thick history book.

"This book is famous for detailing the history of the western area and Tainu. It was written by one of the ancestors of the House of Tain. The places are marked inside."

"Such a precious gift, thank you."

"It's nothing. But... I heard that unfamiliar guests arrived at the outbuilding yesterday. May I ask what happened?"

The rumor about the people they had brought from the security management team yesterday had quickly reached the main house.

"They're related to those who killed the knights in Great Sarain Forest. We suspect that their minds were shattered by some ability and then abandoned."

"...Such an ability exists?"

Surprise flicked across Pruelle's face.

"Then today's intruders at the security management team were because of..."

"It could be an extension of that. Fortunately, we were one step ahead yesterday."
