“Were we attacked?!”

Ye Kai and Tulio showed surprised expressions.

"It's better to go along. Sorry, Cham."

"I'm sorry. I told you everything should be fine inside the city gate."

"It's okay. We successfully repelled the attack and there were no injuries. If anything happened, I would have called you immediately. You don't have to worry so much."

Chaim noticed a vague sense of unease. Just in case, Ye Kai kept his tablet plugged into the intercom.

"But, inside the city gate..."

What happened was that it was a sunny day and Menesia came to the living room.

She wanted to go home, and Chaim promised to take her back to Steiner House. At this time, Ye Kai also wanted to go, but the Duke of Tesserant and his mother, who were visiting Steiner House, especially Melnia, did not let Reed go and would not let her go.

Ye Kai tried to leave Chamu alone, but Reed made a very sad sound, so Ye Kai had to stay.

The Steiner House was inside the city gates, and Tulio thought Cham should be fine on his own, so she agreed.

She was even just out of curiosity and had no idea what would happen, but on the way back, Cham was attacked.

The most serious person at this time was Bartello. When he heard about this during the family reunion, his face changed drastically. Ye Kai would not miss this change.

"What's the matter, Mr. Bartello?"

"No, no, wait a minute! Hero!"

"You don't need to praise me at this time, right?"

“That’s not what I meant! Um… Anyway, let me confirm. How did they attack you?”

“They tried to trick me.”

----------------

Time goes backwards.

While happily chatting on the way to send Menesia to Steiner's house, Cham met a woman.

“Oh, sorry…”

"What's wrong?"

Chaim stopped and looked at the woman. Perhaps to avoid the coolness of the night, the woman wore a cloak over her robe and pulled down her headscarf, so her face could not be seen clearly. Her long hair partially covered her face, making it difficult to identify.

"I'm lost. Do you know the Earl's House of Morgest?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the way inside the city gate."

"I see. I heard that in the south..."

"If it's in the south, it should be over there."

Chaim pointed over there. After all, inside the city gate, she wasn't so kind to help find the way.

"Really? Thank you."

"Wait!" Chaim couldn't bear to leave the woman alone in the dark alley, so he took her with him. When they walked to a small square, they suddenly felt a sense of oppression.

There were four attackers. They rushed at Cham with swords drawn, and she parried their blows with her swordplay. She took out her shield and fired three arrows into their backs. There were suppressed screams, and she knew the arrows had hit their target. However, the quiver magazine was now loaded with wooden arrows, which would not be fatal.

The second man drew his sword, and Cham tried to cut his sword off and then plunged it into his dovetail, but a third man rushed forward and she stepped back to avoid him. She fired two arrows at the right side of this enemy, and both hit, and he fell to the ground.

She raised her shield and threatened the men around her. One of the men blew a short whistle and everyone quietly disappeared into the darkness. Considering the possibility of a counterattack, she hesitated to pursue. Cham noticed that the female figure had also disappeared and realized that she was one of the conspirators.

Blue, who was frustrated at not being able to help Cham in the melee, was comforted, mounted his horse, and returned to the royal city.

------------------

After hearing the story, Bartlo's face became very bitter.

“The method is the same. This must be the same group of people.”

"Bartolo, what's going on!"

"…Although I hope this matter can be kept secret…"

After some hesitation, he finally spoke. In fact, ten kidnappings had already occurred within the city gate.

Since the incident happened inside the city gate, all the victims were daughters of nobles. At first, I thought it was a kidnapping case for ransom, but no matter how long I waited, I never received a ransom. And even during the suspicion, the number of victims continued to increase.

The purpose of the incident is revealed with the discovery of a victim.

The victim was found dead in an alley outside the city gate. She had bitten off her tongue and committed suicide, and there were signs of assault on her body.

There is no point in committing a crime within the city gates if the purpose is just to offend. It is easier to do it in a neighborhood with low vigilance.

However, if the crime was committed within the city gate, the purpose was most likely to kidnap the daughter of a nobleman, that is, not for ransom, but to kidnap and sell the daughter of a nobleman.

After being sold, she was imprisoned and raped, and eventually committed suicide in despair. Customers who could not dispose of her body may have abandoned her in an alley.

In the preferences of some people, they are willing to pay a high price for the beautiful daughters of nobles. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of these customers, kidnapping organizations operate within the city gates.

However, the prisoners' movements were always unpredictable. Even within the heavily guarded city gates, even with increased patrols, they could not be caught. There were not even any witnesses.

This method was discovered by a surviving daughter of a nobleman. After all the previous bodyguards were killed, the daughter survived under the protection of another nobleman who happened to pass by.

Unfortunately, her bodyguard was also killed.

According to her, she was accosted by a woman on her way home that night. Considering she had an escort, she thought she could safely guide the lost woman. But on the way, she was attacked.

This is exactly what happened to Cham.

This group of people is likely a criminal gang that kidnapped daughters of nobles. They may have mistaken Cham for a daughter of a noble and attacked her because of her handsome appearance.

“Why should this be kept secret?”

Ye Kai, who felt that the situation was very serious, began to worry, and Bartro carefully explained. It is worth mentioning that before telling the story, the Duke of Tesserant and his son had been sent back to their room.

"Because the bad rumors about this matter have affected the Knights and the Guards, even the Secretary of War, who is in charge of military affairs, is opposed. We are sure that this matter will be resolved in the end, so before that, we hope to investigate it secretly. I am also worried about this situation, but we don't want to be criticized when we can't guarantee the safety of the royal family."

"I understand. After all, the royal family's reputation is also important."
