It took Carissa an hour to pull herself out of the paralyzing grip of fear. Afterward, she mounted her horse and rode straight to the palace. She needed a reason to leave the capital.

Salvador had received two letters from Rafael. The first letter reported an unusual village they had come across, and they suspected that the villagers were the private army they were looking for. Salvador had sent a secret order for Rafael to investigate the area.

The second letter described their initial foray into the mountains, where the defenses were tight, confirming the presence of a private army. However, they had not yet found the weapons or supplies. Salvador had sent another order to continue the investigation, with a directive to destroy any weapons and supplies found.

Since then, there had been no word from Rafael.

Salvador was, admittedly, a little worried. Sending just a few people to scout several mountain ranges, without knowing the size of the enemy force or whether they had martial arts experts among them, was undeniably risky.

At the same time, he also saw it as an excellent opportunity. If they could locate and destroy the weapons, they could immediately mobilize troops under the guise of quelling bandits. This approach would avoid unnecessary fanfare and potentially reduce casualties.

Hearing from Carissa that there had been no news for half a month only deepened his concern. But without information, it was impossible to take action–he couldn’t dispatch troops until he had verified the situation.
