Elizabeth and I mounted the horse and began to explore the tiny village. Elizabeth began to tour me around and tell me about her neighbors. I became aware of this. People were staring at Elizabeth with a strange expression on their faces. As soon as I saw what was going on, I drew my cloak over my face and said, "Elizabeth, don't take off your cloak." "All right, Maxilin," she murmured as she drew her cloak down a little. "Elizabeth, do you know where the church is?" I asked. "Yeah, I went there once.

That old guy caressed Elizabeth's head and murmured, "You are sweet Elizabeth." "How do you know my name, mister?" Elizabeth asked with a smile. "When you were a kid, you used to come with your dad," he remarked with a smile. "I remember," Elizabeth remarked, "I visited here before." "Would you like to plunge your sword into the water?" he said, looking at me. I took a hard look and carefully drew my sword from my sheath. He gazed at me after touching my sword. I saw that his face was gradually becoming paler. Is he in good condition? I was about to ask him a question, but Elizabeth was with us, so I couldn't. The water began to bubble as he plunged the sword. "What the hell?" I asked, my eyes narrowing. "What is going on here?" I questioned. Elizabeth clutched my cloak tightly in her grip. She became a bit frightened. However, it stopped bubbling after a minute and the water turned black. "What is it?" I said, attempting to draw my sword but being stopped by that man. "Don't take it o

I got up and put on my coat. He asked, "Are you going somewhere uncle?" I stepped out of the chamber, carrying my sword sheath. Evan was following me as well. "What's the matter, uncle?" Evan asked. "Evan," I said, "I think I need to travel to the northern side." Evan asked, "northern side?" "Yes, I didn't tell you about it because of your illness," I said. Evan came to a halt there.

Elizabeth and I were on our way up. I noticed that everyone was going and locking their doors. "Maxilin," Elizabeth said, "everyone is going back home." "Yes, but don't worry." "We're also close to home," I said. "I am not afraid, Maxilin," she murmured, looking up at me. "I'm only worried about you," she said. Hearing her, I smiled and responded, "Why are you worried?" "What if that monster shows up and scares you?" she asked. "Oh yes. You are exactly right. Then I have to speed up, "I said, holding the reins and speeding up."

"You jerk, Maxilin." He rushed his horse up to me and yelled, "I will shred your bones." I pushed back the horse's head as I struck with the pommel. The hot breath of the horse struck my face. "You shouldn't have made this mistake," I calmly said, as I lifted my gaze. "I hope you don't beg for mercy after this."As I said, I used a reversed grip on the ricasso to give back the force.

Fort South.Physician was checking on the elderly lady. I was waiting for him outside the room. He emerged after a time. “Mr., is she all right?” I asked. “Well, my lord,” he replied, bowing slightly, “she isn’t okay.” Her physique is frail, and I think she has been tortured for some time. I discovered various injuries on her body."“What sort of injuries?” I said, sighing heavily. He stated as they walked, “Her some particular body area was burnt.
