Chapter 350

The reason Ever had taken the two of them along was that they had been the ones who had visited the Awakeners's village in the Great Sarain Forest as part of the first dispatched team. Although those who had lost their memory could not recognize the people and wasn't sure if they were the ones chased out of the village, she thought that Emun and Finn might be able to. And fortunately, her expectation had turned out wonderfully correct.

"Was it certain that the ones you saw in the village within the Great Sarain Forest were there?" nÊw stories at no/vel/b/i/n(.)com

At Kishiar's question, Emun and Finn nodded simultaneously.

"It was when you, Commander, were conversing with the Awakeners of that village. After everything was done, the Nelarn Knights were busy preparing to leave, so there wasn't much time, right?"

"That's true."

"Do you remember that at their request, Finn, Gakane, and I went back into the village once more?"

"Didn't I want to check if there were any traces left by the captured criminal?"

"Yes. You had requested our help to finish the job without agitating the Awakeners living in the village."

This was a story that Yuder, who only knew the part that Kanna had summarized, had heard for the first time.

Even after capturing Jenn, the servant who had betrayed Prince Ejain and was hiding in the Awakeners's village, the Nelarn Knights wanted to carefully check where he had stayed. It was just for one night, but they wanted to be sure. Emun, Finn, and Gakane were the ones who went back inside the village to assist with this while Kishiar was conversing with Prince Ejain.

"The task was completed quickly as there were no specific matters, and the place we visited was a zone where ordinary people stayed."

"They were terribly uneasy when they saw us. We even briefly saw them fighting with each other."

Finn added with a scowling face. He had been in that state ever since he had left behind a hint in the Great Sarain Forest.

"Yes. Well, we couldn't remember all those people, but since it was such a peculiar encounter, it seems some of them still remained in our minds. I remembered them as we passed by the prison yesterday."

"If that's the case, it must be certain."

Kishiar's eyes sharpened.

"What did you tell the Knights of Tainu?"

"We said nothing. We thought it suspicious if they knew we were interested in the prisoners, so we planned to act after reporting to you, Commander."

"Good. Let's go and see for ourselves."

The carriage arrived at Finnard Square shortly after. Next to it was the security management team building, proudly welcoming countless visitors with its doors wide open, preserving its old style.

The soldiers guarding the doors were shocked at the arrival of the carriage bearing Duke Peletta, and doubted their eyes. The same was true for Jeymer Phil, the late-arriving head of the Tainu Knights.

"I greet His Grace, Duke Peletta."

His appearance was a mess, not befitting a knight. Without even a sword at his waist, and with his belt hanging loosely, it was clear he must have run out from a nap. Yuder, looking at the red face of the middle-aged man with a broad peeled forehead, thought Ever's assessment was indeed accurate. The fact that someone who didn't even do his duty dared to look down on others was merely laughable.

"...Yes?"

"So don't be too angry, and watch the road more carefully next time."

While the words seemed conciliatory, upon closer examination, each expression was anything but insulting. But the clarity of the smile and voice that delivered them was so spotless that in the end, Jeymer Phil could only lick his lips without uttering a word and turn his head away.

"The underground dungeon is that way. I will guide you, so please follow me."

Duke Pelleta and his soldiers, heading for the underground dungeon, received an entirely different gaze as they moved than when they had just arrived. Those who had seen an Awakener, especially a Cavalry, utilizing their abilities for the first time, felt an unavoidable, subtle fear even if they said nothing outwardly.

It was better to be shunned than to be ridiculed. Yuder thought so, proudly straightening his shoulders and looking around. All the people around him flinched and retreated when their eyes met, but only the fellow Cavalry members managed to suppress their laughter, their faces expressing relief.

The underground dungeon's first floor was not as dark as expected. Since the ground outside was partially dug out to create windows, there was some light. The appearance of the unusual visitors with the Knight Commander caught the attention of the guards and the jailers. Amid the surrounding tension, Jeymer Phil opened his mouth with a stern face.

"Who are these suspicious people, and why have they come? Can you now tell me if this matter is related to the recent incident?"

"No, it has nothing to do with that. We have only heard that there may be people imprisoned here who seem to have been harmed by an Awakener's abilities."

"What?"

Jeymer Phil's brows furrowed in confusion.

"Are you saying there is an Awakener here?"

"No, they're most likely ordinary people. They just seem to have been harmed by an ability. Phil, how much do you know about the abilities of an Awakener?"

Suddenly changing the subject, Jeymer Phil concealed his displeasure and shook his head.

"Of course, I don't... know much."

"To others, it might not seem significant, but all my soldiers who visited here yesterday are Awakeners. And the Cavalry has the priority to investigate matters related to Awakeners. There's no more time to explain, so I want to find them first."

In short, it meant that explaining in detail was meaningless unless they were an Awakener. Jeymer Phil let out a shocked breath and called one of the jailers to give instructions for the guidance.
