The scheduled return would have been tomorrow morning. The housemaids were moving hurriedly because of this sudden return as there were many things to do, such as preparing the bath and the meals.
Roxy, who finished removing her light armor, explained to me the mysterious scene in the valley.
This morning, she accompanied her armed men into the valley. And the scene that spread out before their eyes when there got there was a ravine ravaged by a powerful attack. The beautiful nature had been lost, the trees had collapsed and the ground had been gouged out.
It seemed to be unexpectedly different from the valley that they saw every year. Yeah… Even for me, who was the one who caused it, thought that it was too much, so the reactions of the Roxy and her group was unsurprising.
There was also one corpse that was cut into two easily. Another one was frightened by something, as if trying to escape, the head pierced through by an arrow from behind. What was more worrisome was the the shot wound, because the arrow itself could not be found anywhere. There was also no evidence the arrow was pulled out either.
When considering who gave such injuries, the possibility of a Demon Archer came across their mind. By converting magical power into arrows and releasing it, it was a powerful weapon. It was not just an item that any warrior could possess.
It was such a wonderful weapon… while listening to Roxy’s story,
From this much evidence, I wonder what kind of conclusion Roxy reached. Don’t tell me I’ll be discovered.
[I think the Gaulian girl who I saw yesterday is the one who did it]
[I understand there is no solid proof! But in order to calm down the people in the territory, I need to do it…]
The valley has been destroyed and the Kobolds have been massacred. To remove the uneasiness from the people in the territory as the Family Head, she needed to do something to reassure them.
However, the identity of the person who caused this is completely unknown based on the information from the site. Then she manages to conclude to the Gaulian girl that she saw yesterday.
The Gaulians had long dominated the continent of Gaul with their mighty military power. According to documents, their fighting ability far exceeds the Holy Knights. If that girl of Gaulian origin still had that power, the devastation that happened in the valley could be explained.
Roxy pushed out this conclusion in order to dispel the anxieties of the people, although she was actually against the idea.
I can tell by looking at her face, even if person herself is not aware of it.
Nope-nope. When i saw Roxy’s face, I almost dangerously confessed.
Anyway, the Gaulians were strong. The brown-skin girl certainly did say that she yielded the Kobolds to me. Perhaps she would have defeated the Kobolds if she hadn’t met me.
Then, let’s leave the Gaulian girl as it is, she destroyed the valley and defeated the Kobolds. I’ll consider this as a loan, and if we meet again, I will return this loan.
Thank you, Gaulian girl whose name I don’t even know!
I had no other choice but to answer her with empty words.

[Fate, when you came here again, let’s talk once more. At that time, I want to hear your answer]
Leaving only the feelings here, the horse carriage on which we rode started moving towards the Royal Capital.
