Leonhardt's body faded into the forest while Erina watched him in awe.
The surrounding villagers started to whisper, and what scared her was that nobody seemed to reject the idea or notion of making Leonhardt the city lord.
"Should we believe that young lad?" A woman muttered.
"What do you mean... he's just another liar! Wait until he comes back with his tail between his legs." An old man argued.
"But, what if he succeeds?" A beautiful woman with two children whispered.
"Heh, that idiot can't succeed." The guard who liked Asuka snorted, spitting on the ground.
"I believe him..." An old woman clenched her fists and watched the forest.
"He will save us from the darkness."
From there, the villagers started to argue, and more came forward for Leonhardt.
'How can this be?' She thought.
Unable to doubt his charisma and power, she also felt her chest tighten, her heart thumping. Each word and action he took slowly enthralled her mind and heart.
