Garlan's footsteps were resolute as he gathered the courage to meet Cyria in the new room. As he crossed the village, some of the residents still stared and murmured in amazement at his presence.
Cyria's eyes remained fixed on Garlan as he approached until stood before her, about 4 meters away.
They exchanged serious glances.
"Why did you come to see me today?" Cyria asked sternly in front of everyone.
Garlan didn't directly respond to her question. Instead, he looked around, observing the people who had gathered to witness the encounter. The atmosphere grew awkward, but Garlan didn't let the seriousness fade from his face.
"Well, today I feel that it's time for me to feel safe and grateful for the hospitality you've offered. It's time for me to start moving on," he said, breaking the silence.
Unbeknownst to everyone present, Cyria's pupils dilated slightly a

Standing there, and witnessing all of this, Garlan was quite disgusted by the actions of these people. However, he had also done similar things in the past, only to survive with his group before becoming a mercenary.Some of them became aware of the presence of someone they considered very strange, and their eyes were directly drawn to that person.Of course, if the presence of this stranger attracted the attention of the leader of these bandits, he regarded the person with great disdain."Hah... who are you? How dare you show yourself in front of me..."Garlan's mouth didn't speak directly, but his eyes looked around. What was happening here was quite horrifying, and the blood and bodies of the fallen soldiers were much clearer."Hey, are you ignoring me?" he asked again with a rough tone. It felt like he might crush Garlan's head right now."No, I just happ

And, it's true the strike had landed right on this big man's body, spewing fresh blood to the point where no one could blink their eyes."Impossible, only a leader can withstand an attack from him!"The man they called the leader remained steadfast, even though he had been attacked, he still stood tall.While clutching his severely injured waist, his eyes stared at Garlan, who was standing."How dare you hurt me like this!"Garlan didn't say anything; he was just surprised by his opponent's impressive physical condition, which allowed him to endure the pain he had just inflicted.He released his hand covering the wound, acting as if the previous incident was mere empty talk with no real consequences.In the remaining time, Garlan took a deep breath."Why do people like you still act as if this fight can be won? Shouldn't you just give up? It's ridiculous for someone like you!"Clearly, Garlan's statement was an insult to the bandits."Just because of one scratch, you think you've won?
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Triggers of Old Habits
After a bit longer, one of these individuals approached Garlan. It was, of course, the leader of the guards."Sir, I thank you for your assistance that saved us all!" He saluted with genuine gratitude."Is that so! But I'm here to help you, not just to help!" Garlan's rough tone conveyed his intentions easily to the leader of the guards."But we don't have the money to pay for what you've done! What should we do?"Garlan glanced towards the woman being protected by several people."From your all appearances, are you members of the royal family?""Yes! We are indeed from a kingdom! And this time, we are escorting someone important." He felt anxious about disclosing this information to a stranger, as Garlan might have been another attacker like the ones before.Garlan nodded and then spoke, "In that case, I will accompany you to your intended kingdom, and then you can compensate me for my help."It was an easy decision for Garlan, but, of course, executing it would not be as straightfor
BELLUM PRAESINTIA You've Betrayed so Accept This
This statement directly confused Garlan. He had hoped for a much friendlier welcome, but instead, he found himself facing stern reproach."What do you mean by what you're saying? I don't understand at all!" Garlan replied firmly, feeling there was no need for formality. Every part of his body was now poised for action."We heard it directly; you and the bandits conspired to set up Princess Elisa in this incident! Therefore, we must put you in prison!" The statement had been ambiguous from the beginning, and now Garlan found himself confronted by soldiers brandishing weapons.Reluctantly, Garlan had to defend himself. Quickly, he drew his sword and assumed a combat-ready stance."Capture this man..." the man shouted, becoming the catalyst for all the soldiers.There were too many soldiers present, and the previously serene location had turned chaotic. Everyone attempted to strike
BELLUM PRAESINTIA Be Patient WIth You Current Situation
"You've been trapped!" he continued in a horrified tone.Garlan didn't appear surprised; his face remained lowered as he recalled all the events that had led up to this moment. Regret welled up within him, but he couldn't deny it. He couldn't stop all of this; it felt as though it was all meant to happen."You seem remarkably composed in a situation like this," the man said again, attempting to lighten the mood."Everything has become quite ordinary for me. I don't need to question why this is happening. I just want to know how to get out of this mess.""That's impossible," he retorted angrily. "You won't easily get out of here. You're likely to be forgotten by them all, just like what happened to me."It sounded rather dreadful; indeed, in this situation, finding a way out was incredibly difficult. It might even end in an execution."I might not be able to find a solution to all of this, but at least I must fight to resolve it."Hearing this brought a chuckle from the man; he admired
BELLUM PRAESINTIA An Escape That Accidentally Involved Him
"Princess Elisa..." the man said, looking deeply shocked by this turn of events.However, unlike Garlan who undoubtedly felt strange about Elisa's presence."What does this woman want? Why did she bother coming here?" he asked, giving her a sharp look.The most crucial thing here was Elisa's expression. If she seemed happy, it would mean something sinister was afoot. However, when they entered the room, Elisa's face showed enough shock."Endragora..." Her sorrowful utterance, accompanied by tears, came quickly. She couldn't even contain the pain as her legs felt weak beneath her.Endra felt pity seeing this woman in such distress.Garlan couldn't find Elisa's actions staged, as everything here felt too genuine, even if it made someone as ruthless as him slightly disgusted."Princess, what are you doing here? Did you have permission to visit this prison?"From his statement, Garlan could understand that Endra was not just an ordinary prisoner. They might not know each other, but he had
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Quite Troublesome Escape
As Garlan stepped out of the prison, he expressed his impression of what Endra had just done."It seems like you've grown quite accustomed to situations like this!"Endra grinned in response to the compliment.Deep down, they both understood the aura they were emitting was similar. It was as if they had found a brother they were never blood-related to."I just needed a warm-up for this, and while I was confined here, did you think I'd just sit idly by?"Garlan didn't comment much on this matter. They needed to hurry and leave; the people who had visited them earlier were evidence that someone knew about the situation.Their footsteps echoed through the dark corridor, driven by the desire to get out of that place."Are you sure about returning to the palace after this?" Garlan asked.Elisa felt reluctant to answer. She herself was unsure of how to convey the situation might be worse than she could imagine. But there was no other option. They had to enter the palace, which was likely a
BELLUM PRAESINTIA A Very Exhausting Escape
Logically, although he had tried to behave in order to save Elisa, fighting in a situation like this was quite impossible. He would not be able to swing his sword freely."Put me down!" Elisa snapped.The timing was just right; in front of them, there were still many soldiers ready to attack.Garlan's body felt much lighter after doing it."Very well then, just wait a moment..."After saying that, Garlan quickly rushed toward the waiting troops.Crash...Elisa couldn't bear to watch it all, blood splattering mixed with the sound of tearing flesh and skin.The sound rang out loudly and then returned to silence, slowly she tried to open her eyes. It was truly astonishing; her eyes only saw one man standing amidst the corpses drenched in blood.It wasn't a dream; the blood on the tip of Garlan's sword was still fresh."For the umpteenth time, I've tried to do something like this!" Garlan looked around, making sure nothing was moving.Shung...The sword was sheathed once again."Now we mu
