[Vol. 6] Chapter 152

(Third person's POV- omniscient)

The Duke's men had come as they were informed and had captured the bandits. The leader of the patrolling officer came before Hiroshi and said, "Good day, sir. We are honoured that Prince Rian's men dealt with them when we weren't there."

He made a displeased face and said, "It is still unfortunate that this happened even during our strong patrols and under my watch. It leaves a bad impression on us. For that let me apologize to you and your subjects who had to do our work."

Hiroshi scratched the back of his head while Kairo gave a nervous chuckle. Miku could only watch them while she stood beside Hiroshi and cried in her head that she couldn't even escape now. Because that evil man had threatened her not long ago.

And then the knight's eyes fell on Miku. She blinked but he didn't say anything.

"May I know your name, my good sir?" The knight asked to Hiroshi.

"Hiroshi."

The man's eyes narrowed down at him and then he gasped as he said, "Wait, are you the general of Kuro soldiers and Prince Rian's right hand man?!"

Miku's head snapped at Hiroshi as she looked at him with wide eyes.

Hiroshi gave a nervous chuckle and said, "Something like that."

Miku eyed him for a moment. He was the right man of Prince Rian!!!

She paled as now there was no chance she would get away what she had done. She had robbed the Prince's right hand man. It would be considered as a serious crime and she might get a death sentence...

Cold sweat formed on her forehead as she looked at Hiroshi with a pair of puppy eyes.

The knight bowed down before Hiroshi and said, "Please let me properly give my gratitude, Sir Hiroshi."

The other men of the Knight as well bowed down before him as Hiroshi felt a little uneasy. He wasn't accustomed to people bowing before him. Only his men would do that but that was because he was their leader.

He said with a smile, "You don't have to bow...?"

The man stood back and said his name, "Sir Joshi."

Hiroshi nodded, "Yes, sir Joshi. As we both serve the empire we are  comrades and we both lead our men for benefiting our land so, please don't bow."

He smiled and gave a curt nod.

He added, "This bandits had been active for a few years and they had been making small groups all over Komato. We had been trying to capture and mostly we had done so but there are still left especially these group of bandits." He looked at the captured bandits and said, "They seemed to be acting together. I didn't expected them to attack with that many men."

He turned his gaze toward Hiroshi and Kairo and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you for lending a helping hand, Sir Hiroshi and...?"

"Kairo." Kairo answered.

"Sir Kairo."

"It is our honour to be a help of our nation." Kairo said.

The knight said, "And it also because possible since Prince Rian had passed the order to capture who weren't abiding by the rules and had been troubling our people, our enforcement got the power. We certainly need a prince like that. Even my Lord, Duke Gingiro Shimadzu sama had been active lately." Then he asked, "By any chance, were you traveling here, Sir Hiroshi?"

Hiroshi answered, "No, I have some important business with Duke Gingiro Shimadzu. My Prince had passed me an imperial order and for that I am here."

Knight Joshi became excited as he asked, "Then why are you taking public transport, my good sir? Please, let me arrange you a carriage."
