[The small town we passed at noon?]
Veronia and Varez were both taken aback; naturally, such a matter wouldn't have escaped their memories completely. Although they didn't pay heed to what the town was called or how many people it had, as this place was a necessary route for their hurried march, they had analyzed it from various angles beforehand. Therefore, the two former commanders of the small five hundred-men corps were merely puzzled as to why Sin Knight suddenly brought up that place, rather than forgetting the road they just crossed.
Wait!
With a slightly stronger sense of the big picture, Veronia suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she caught onto something.
The town they passed... loyalty to His Majesty... might not be as simple as it seems...
"No way!"
Veronia abruptly raised her head to look at Sin Knight seated before her, her expression somewhat incredulous.
"What do you mean, no way?"
