Chapter 64: Anxiety
Marquis Andrei's prediction was right in a bad way
"Water... water... give me some water..."
They all want water.
And yet they refuse to move.
They sit there helplessly, muttering to no one.
"It's like a plague-infested place."
“All troops, don't drink the water from the well! You'll end up like them! Just hold on to the water in your canteen."
"Shiro-dono? Have you found something?"
"Just in case. I can't say that the water in this town isn't the cause."
I don't know what it is about water that these people want.
The Viscount says it's blue water, but no one knows what it is.
"Commander-sama! That!"
As soon as they pass through the gate, the soldiers suddenly become obedient to Sermus.
Beyond the gate was a mansion.
Something hung from the second floor.
"A corpse!"
"The one in the middle is the viscount's daughter!"
Several bodies hung upside down.
“All troops, prepare for a defensive battle here! Marquis Andrei, please command the troops.”
"I'll take command here. Are you going in?"
"Yes. Shiro-dono, I'd like to request an escort."
"Alright, Wince, let's go. You five! Follow me."
"Ha!"
I randomly selected soldiers from Sermus territory and went inside with 8 people.
-----------
"Wince! How is it!"
There are only corpses on the first floor
They're all neatly arranged and drained of blood.
"The second floor is the same, but there is nothing."
"Shiro-dono, they've taken down the hanging bodies."
“All right, Sermus, you and your men examine the body. Wince, we'll look randomly."
"Yes!"
---------
We searched all the rooms in the mansion, but nothing remarkable stood out
"Shiro-san"
"What do you got?"
Wince called out
"There is food on the table, but it's all rotten. It's neatly arranged."
"Do you know how long it's been there?"
“I'd say about four days.”
What happened to these guys?
"Hmm? Ah... this is"
"Is this... a letter?"
It's a letter made of beautiful paper, but...
"It's like it was written by a drunk. It's messier than mine, can you read it?"
"Let me see."
It looks like a drunk wrote it with his left hand.
-François Prelati-
-Three days have passed since my father was arrested in the royal capital-
-The water is running low and we're all feeling a little anxious-
-Can you please bring us some water again?-
-We will purchase 40 days worth for 500 gold coins-
-Please have mercy-
-Please, please give us some water-
-Water, please-
-Water, please-
-Water, please-
-Water, please-
-I understand-
-We won't fail this time-
-I will definitely get the dragon child and show it to you-
-Yes-
-Yes-
-Of course-
-I pledge my undying loyalty to you-
-As soon as I have the kingdom I will make you my king... water, please... I will do everything at your pleasure... give you children... all women... I will give them to you... give us some water... I will obey you with all my heart... and I will make you my God... give us some water... I will worship you... as my God... I will worship you, give me water, give me water, give me water, give me water, give me water, give me water, give me water, give me water, give me water, give me water-
"The middle section sounds like a conversation..."
"The bottom section is completely insane. But more importantly."
"The top section."
"Let's return to the capital immediately."
"I'll get you a fast horse."
"I can run much faster"
"Understood. I will contact Sermus-san."
Even if the Marquis is here, there are still many soldiers in the royal capital.
I don't think it's possible for it to fall.
Once you become uneasy, it is something that cannot be wiped away.
