Chapter's Prelude

“Father … I be going,” has said by Jaino to Zahamara.

“Won't you wait the result of investigation?”

“The evidences do just fine. Colonel?” He steals the colonel's attention. “—You're more capable than me.”

“No, sire! I anticipate the situa—” He salutes while Jaino salutes, “—tion.”

“I leave my father to your care.”

“Aye sire!”

Then Jaino, Krispen, and Ritzel walk departing the place.

Zahamara speaks, “Colonel, we are now involve to his problems. Someone will probably attack us.” His eyes wander to see Sai Mea scrutinizing the convicts, retrained by armed people and the soldiers.

“I won't allow such a thing, sire.”

“Seem like you have forgotten our virtue.”

“To citizen first afore thyself. But, I can't let you gone before I'll mature in the service.”

“You won't be matured until you'll stand in your own. But, do what you like.”

While searching for connectivity, Sai Mea thinks, This is hard. If these people are mercenaries; then, they are not the opponents of my dear, Maritis. … I guess I should tighten the security of the kingdom and the tower. She walks heading to the castle guards' commander along by some of the busy soldiers.

Mistrust is inevitable

Everyone must cooperate

The real truth must be prevail
