Herscherik and Roy walked and walked, and by the time the fog started to clear up a small village came into view. However, it was nothing more than the traces of a village, if that.

“This is...” Roy was at a loss for words at the state of the settlement. There was not a single person in sight, and the buildings and fields all lay in ruins. The small village had been destroyed.

“It must have been attacked by the imperial army... Ow!” Herscherik had crouched down to pick up a stuffed toy on the ground, wincing as pain shot through in his left arm. Even so, he endured it as he reached out with his right hand for the toy rabbit, its stuffing spilling out onto the ground where it had been trampled underfoot.

“Your Highness, your injury really is worse than...”

“I’m fine.” Herscherik shook his head at Roy’s expression of concern. His pain was nothing compared to what the people of this village must have suffered, Herscherik thought with a frown.

The imperial army must have passed through this village on their way to the location of the ambush. After plundering the whole place, they must have wrecked the buildings too.

He feared that the prince might not believe a simple commoner who spoke ill of a noble, or that he might even punish him. The thought made him turn pale.

“What are you planning on doing next?”

“Huh?” Roy replied, befuddled, as Herscherik continued.

“I’m going to the border fort.”

Roy turned pale again, this time for a different reason. The army that had been headed for the border fort had been thrown into disarray. Roy could easily imagine what that meant if the border fort had to face the imperial forces. It would only be a matter of time before the border fort, only a few thousand strong, fell before the imperial army of over a hundred thousand men. Going there could very well be considered suicide. General Seghin’s words still bothered Roy, as well.
