The Silent 547

"What are they wearing...?" Eliza frowned and asked.

Nolan, with a cold glint in his eyes, continued her sentence, "They're wearing the official uniforms of Woteria's guards"

It seemed that the heavy snow in Woteria had allowed these bandits to run rampant, to the point of even daring to rob and kill officials.

The evidence was clear, and since they had dared to show up right in front of there. Nolan was not going to let these bandits off.

Nolan ordered, "Leave one alive for questioning, the rest-kill,"

"Yes, sir."

At his command, the Black Flag Army tore off their snow-covered cloaks and drew their swords, rushing towards the bandits on either side of the convoy.

In just moments, the bandits were wiped out, not leaving a single one standing.

Only one person remained- a young man, gaunt, ragged, and barely alive.

The Black Flag Army dragged this person before Eliza and Nolan.

"Lift your head," Eliza commanded.

Perhaps because her calm voice carried an innate tenderness, the young man instinctively obeyed and lifted his head to look at her.

"You... who are you?" the young man weakly asked.

Eliza didn't answer his question, but instead asked in return, "What's your name?"

The young man hesitated, then carefully replied, "My name is Rafe Malone."

"Rafe Malone?"

"Well, that's quite... an elegant yet ironic name," Eliza said, pausing before speaking with an ambiguous expression. Hearing Eliza's words, Rafe stole a glance at her, his face flushed, and he quickly lowered his head, embarrassed. Nolan, observing the scene, thought to himself, 'What's with the blushing?'

Nolan coldly fixed his gaze on Rafe, then glanced at his frail figure, which stood in stark contrast to the burly bandits. Interrupting Rafe's awkwardness, he asked icily, "Are you one of the bandits here, like the others?"
