The next dawn, Lety and Merck packed their stuff.
Said Merck with a cheerful smile.
He would’ve said that Raiz didn’t want to return to the army, and that it was necessary to protect him from now on.
The knight pointed at the special unit behind him.
They weren’t only feeling dejected because of their failure, but even felt indebted to those who arrested them.
Lety, who seemed really down, approached their wagon.
She was determined to bring Raiz back with them, but seeing his monsters having so much fun working made her feel bad.
She had always been friendly with them since she didn’t care about who or what her comrades were as long as they fought together, and after seeing their incredible abilities, it was only normal to think that they were necessary for war.
But thinking that they would someday return to the battlefield and leave this happiness behind, she felt disgusting.
She decided that if they had to fight, it should be their own choice.
Why she should’ve remained after deciding to abandon her mission?
His request was incomprehensible to her.
Lety didn’t know about his deal with Raiz, so she was sincerely surprised.
Deep within, she was gleeful for this turn of events, but she wasn’t so selfish to accept it right away.
She started to think about it.
Can I really stay here…?
The choice suddenly fell on the tamer, who looked bewildered.
Her gaze turned to him, and his astonishment only grew deeper.
Even though she was struggling within, she ended up accepting.
She held out her hand and, when Raiz grabbed it, she started to shake it happily.
That’s how Lety, Raiz’s former comrade, stayed back and started to live in Dekuch.
A month later, in a certain mansion in the capital, a man was screaming.
The calm voice was obviously Merck’s.
Merck was right. Even the King approved Raiz’s return.
By dismissing the strongest among tamers, Frida was in a delicate position.
It wasn’t really true, but Merck didn’t know about Cat sith’s existence.
They had to be prudent. Frida could only believe Merck’s speculations, or rather, in what Raiz had made Merck believe.
General Frida succeeded in his mission, but also had to do as the tamer wanted and send guards to protect him from the shadows. Furthermore, he now had to be aware of the existence of spies.
He sounded like some villain underling.
Thought Merck while looking at someone who hadn’t learned his lesson.
