On the other hand, not hearing an answer from Desmond made Vesta gloomy and smiled wryly. Putting aside the fact that Desmond was the most suspected suspect in the case, the fact that he couldn't foresee and caught off the guard from the unexpected attack made him extremely ashamed.
This is a fatal mistake, with the possibility of Desmond's life at stake. Vesta sighed tiredly and felt guilty. Besides, another fatal mistake was that Vesta himself had also convinced the public that he had slaughtered all the beasts in the kingdom's territory.
He could even imagine if Desmond died, they might lose a Dual Class and a Master Witch, which would surely weaken the kingdom's power. And, up until now the kingdom has not chosen a Grandmaster successor. This is truly a miracle for the kingdom still in peace
On the other hand, the pattern of this attack was looked like it was controlled by someone.
Even if there were some beasts left after the massacre, it wouldn't be this much. Looking at this, it's like Vesta was swallowing his own saliva. If this news spread to the entire kingdom, maybe his honor as a Guardian will be questioned.
Assuming and re-estimating the strength of this village, it was doubtful that this village would survive if an attack of the same scale struck again without his reinforcement and the mercenaries.
"I don't think it's as easy as it is seen," Vesta muttered in a low tone.
Even though he received a complete report from the village chief, the previous attack shouldn't be much different, or maybe it's just becoming a dangerous threat because of that demon?
Meanwhile, the silence between her young master and Vesta made the initially calm Laura waver as she noticed the young master's face was getting paler and paler.
If it weren't for her young master's orders, perhaps she would jump directly and brought Desmond back to their carriage or healing him on the spot.
Young master... Laura muttered inwardly with a hand that slowly almost grabbed her young master's shoulder, but then she came back to her senses as she pulled her hand back.
I can't! Only the young master's family knows my class; Laura argued inwardly while looking at her young master with concern.
On the other hand, Diana was seen opening her mouth wide with her eyes bulging out, not believing what she was hearing.
It wasn't just the fact that this village was being attacked by beasts that she was completely unaware of. Focusing her hearing and listening carefully to what they were talking about also took her by surprise.
"That means this village has been in crisis since then, and I've been relaxing in the carriage?" Diana asked herself in a low tone while staring at the silence between her father and Desmond with a blank mind.
This made her pride as the daughter of the Guardian also hurt. Not only that, she even command the soldiers at will as she slowly recalling the smiles the soldiers gave even though some of them might mourning, reminiscing about their fallen comrades.

But what makes her even more shocked is that all the stories from Desmond's mouth are valid and acknowledged by her father, and even her father apologized!
Thinking that she had thought Desmond was weak made her very embarrassed.
Shocked, embarrassed, and awkward, she was currently feeling all these feelings until her brain stopped working as she slowly re-processing the information.
On the other hand, Desmond, who had just calmly checked his stats, glanced back at Vesta, who was still lowering his head in front of him.
It's been 15 minutes, and I feel my body getting weaker. Thought Desmond.
The feeling that he was even holding back his consciousness so as not to pass out signaled that his body was starting to get out of hand.
In the end, this silence was broken when Desmond opened his mouth, and a word he hadn't thought of came out.
"I accept your apology, but I also want compensation." After seeing that his condition was almost at its limit, Desmond said in a tone neither pushy nor angry at the Vestas.
"Of course." After hearing that his apology was accepted, only then did Vesta feel that one of his burdens had been lifted, and he, too, sighed.
Even though Desmond forgave him, but still his negligence could not be ignored, "State your request, I as a Guardian will wholeheartedly try to fulfill it." But at least if the public asks this, he has a good reason and the right solution to deal with it.
Vesta added, "And also because this incident almost cost you your life due to my negligence, I will send two of my best soldiers to come along and accompany you wherever you go until we arrive at the city.
"Not only that, but I will also properly compensate the Steel Legion mercenaries for protecting you and compensate the Corps of Teleknights mercenaries for being willing to help to protect this village as they unconsciously doing a kingdom duty." This time his tone was firm, full of responsibility.
Vesta's mind could no longer be settled after seeing the troops he trusted so much failed to carry out his duties, and he also didn't want this kingdom to weaken.
And also, we should focus more on the existence of this Demon Imp… thought Vesta while looking at Desmond.
"Okay, if that's all, I ask permission to return to my horse carriage," Desmond said with a weak smile on his face. His eyes also glanced at Diana as she finally came back to sense and glanced back at him with a complicated look.
Hearing this, Vesta nodded in agreement; he then called his soldiers and told his mission to escort Desmond.
"Yes, sir!" The two soldiers were none other than the captain and one of the burly-looking soldiers.
Desmond glanced at them briefly before looking at Laura and sending her a magic message.
Help me walk. He said in a weak tone and also put his necklace back on.
Yes, young master. Without pause, Laura, who had been waiting for this for a long time, immediately helped Desmond walk and opened the door.
Meanwhile, when the captain saw this, he glanced back at Vesta and saw that he was telling him to follow Desmond.The captain and the burly soldier then saluted before finally coming out and accompanying Desmond.
On the other hand, precisely after Desmond got out of Vesta's carriage, he saw almost half of Vesta's soldiers were guarding every corner of his horse-drawn carriage.
In the end, it was the same as sending people to watch over me; Desmond sighed inwardly. As he added, but this wasn't bad either.
