[At the Beastman Kingdom]

[Aries point of view]

Since I am currently free right now, Kara, Mara and I take a stroll inside of the Beastman Kingdom. Unlike Mara and I, this is Kara first time visiting the Beastman Kingdom, so it's understandable that she's fairly excited to go sightseeing. She keeps taking note here and there, saying that it is for the benefits of her students. How admirable of her, still thinking about her students at a times like this

"Mrs Paladin! It's been so long since we last met you!"

"And the two of them are your daughters am I right? They sure look like you"

"With a paladin like you guiding the ten heroes, we have nothing to worry about"

"And those despicable True Beastman Group as well! They're on the rise once more, I hope the ten heroes can put an end to any of their plans"

Ohh... So even the everyday people know about the current status of the True Beastman Group. Well, they're currently active mostly elsewhere, and beastman like them follow the news regarding this terrorist group, almost always getting a head start regarding them since they hate the group so much that they will try everything in their power to destroy the group

"Still, have you heard about what happen every time someone tried to approach them?"

"What?"

"I heard that a fire so strong like that from the hell cinder everything to ashes"

"There are also rumour regarding a large tiger, larger than that of a king behemoth, protection them"

"Some even say that the tiger manipulates both space and fire itself, creating something that completely out of this world"

""..."" [Kara, Mara]

I see. Now that's new to me. I knew for a fact that the leader of the True Beastman Group, Dark Lion Simba are still possessing the Holy Beast of Fire, Hell Tiger Har with him, but for him to suddenly start using the beast more frequently... Why now? What is he trying to achieve after all this while

(The two traitorous princes, the serial killer dwarf and Simba the Dark Lion. Honestly, I find it strange that they're now working together. It just doesn't make any sort of sense) [Aries]

What did they hope to achieve by forming the meddling third party? Each and every one of their goals is different. So just why...

"Ah, Paladin Aries, and her twin daughters. Why with the long face?" [Singa's grandfather]

"Aren't you Singa's grandfather? What are you doing here?" [Mara]

"I'm just taking a walk with him" [Singa's grandfather]

"Please to meet all of you..." [Motra's little brother]

Ohh, if I'm not mistaken, that male butterfly beastman is Motra's little brother. It's been long since I last saw him, that it takes me quite a while to recognise him. He's still as shy as ever, and again, I can sense his feeling of inferiority complex still lingering inside of his mind

(He keeps looking at the three of us...) [Kara]

(I wonder what's wrong with him?) [Mara]

(Motra... Motra did unspeakable things to them... I should... I should...) [Motra's little brother]

I can guess what's happening right now. Even Singa's grandfather, the former duke of this country think of the same thing

"Ahh!" [Kara]

"Could it be!?" [Mara]

(Oh god! Please, I'm...) [Motra's little brother]

Looks like the two of them finally realized who this person is. Now then, I wonder how they would react

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry because my brother did horrible things to you in the past!" [Motra's little brother]

He begins to apologize profusely, something that wasn't even his fault to begin with.

He always looks up to Motra, trying to be like him/her. After all, Motra is the heir of his/her noble house (a small noble house but their house has a strong relationships with the royalty of this country), an S rank adventure and someone that inspires both noble and commoner of this country to keep striving to better themselves. Honestly, Motra is another thing. I just couldn't understand, why is he/she siding with the fallen god?

(If he/she didn't side with the fallen god, the two of us will still be best friend, but...) [Aries]

Looking at Kara, Mara and Motra's little brother now

"It's fine! It's all in the past!" [Mara]

"But, my brother deed something unforgivable! Surely you must..." [Motra's little brother]

"True. Sincerely, he/she still recurs in my nightmare even up to this day, but the one that is responsible for his/her actions is him/herself! Not you" [Kara]

"Still, as the next heir of our noble house, I should compensate all of you with something. Not only did my brother do something not befitting of a noble, he actually hurts the infamous Paladin and the ten heroes, so please, let me compensate all of you!" [Motra's little brother]

"And with what?" [Mara]

"Anything that you want!" [Motra's little brother]

Singa's grandfather and I keep watching from the sidelines, letting the three of them sort out things among themselves. It didn't take long for Kara and Mara to come out with an answer

"Then how about the five of us sit down together and enjoy a cup of tea" [Kara]

"True. Give us your best cup of tea!" [Mara]

(Why are they giving the same answer as Sir Singa and Sir Savel!) "But only a cup of tea will be..." [Motra's little brother]

"Who cares! Kara, what type of tea do you like?" [Mara]

"Could it be, you forget about it? I'm sad..." [Kara]

"Umm..., then how about..." [Motra's little brother]

That settle it. In the end, Motra is the one that's responsible for his/her own actions. Not his/her little brother. As the three of them started to talk about what tea will they drink, the old duke approach me

"You want to join me tomorrow?" [Aries]

"I heard it from Leo himself. I can help you figure out about that meddling third party" [Singa's grandfather]

"I see. The more, the better I guess" [Aries]

An old duke like him ought to know a thing or two
